As written on the album sleeve
It's how Morrissey wanted them to be printed in the first place.
Yes - an anthology. finish it and post it!
for me, at his most poetic... why pamper life's complexities /when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
I'll let Simon Armitage explain

Thank you for posting that clip. I'd never got around to watching that programme. Morley's correct when he says that despite close reading of the lines, they are still no closer to capturing the mystery or essence of the song. Which is why pop is pop. And lit.crit. is...not
The sooner Morley gets around to mounting a full scale work on Smiths/Morrissey the better. With this, the 'Uncut' piece from 2006, and especially the text he penned for the recent Kevin Cummins collection, it would be a fascinating read.
On the subject of this thread though, it's interesting that the majority of the choices so far appear to be from the solo work. Is that just a function of Smiths=5 years, Morrissey=21 years, or the particular demographic of this forum, or what, I wonder.
