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."
