Morrissey A-Z: "In the Future When All's Well"

[Eldritch]

Just like I Just Want to See the Boy Happy, this barely qualifies as an album track, never mind a single. There just isn't much there, like on most of the Ringleader, an album on which Morrissey really allowed himself to coast on past achievements.

 

[The.Truth.]

The lyrics are amusing enough to make this one fun. It's not my favorite of his rockers by far but I fully support Morrissey whenever he wants to go into rock star mode.

 

[T. H. Auden]

Catchy and soaringly beautiful at times, and surely one must call this an utopian anthem?

 

[Jamie]

I'd forgotten how much I disliked the Ringleader singles.

It was a steep fall-off from "You Have Killed Me" to "I Just Want To See The Boy Happy." But he wasn't really spoiled for options, as Alain's contributions were not single-/radio-oriented - with the one exception perhaps being "I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now."

 

[William Fisher]

That’s the one!

Get It On - T-Rex
Looking for A Kiss - New York Dolls
Cigarettes & Alcohol - Oasis

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Get It On - T-Rex
Looking for A Kiss - New York Dolls
Cigarettes & Alcohol - Oasis

Agree, definitely hear the T.Rex and a little Dolls influence in that Oasis song, nothing original there.

And I do hear T.Rex Get it On in the quick intro/bass line that Gary does In The Future, but I don’t hear any Oasis influence in the Morrissey song though.

 

[Amy]

I like this one but it does feel half-finished and very ‘light’, like he couldn’t be bothered. Not worth replaying much.

 

[Eraserhead]

Doesn’t sound anything like Oasis to me.
