Albert Camus and "Caligula"

[Venge]

Someone mentioned Camus earlier. Has anyone else read "Caligula" and noticed all the passages in that play that eventually found their way into Smiths songs? I fear Morrissey is guilty of taking "on loan."

Which lines are your sepcifically saying were plagiarized and taken on loan!! Just out of trivial interest of course!! Camus, I always felt after flirting with the pLague when I was younger is so dark and heavy going!! Is Caligula more joccular?

On the influences (well documented elsewhere) I bought and am reading the 'By Grand Central Station I sat down and wept' work and can see the Smiths in there..
