I'll start with:
"I was good kid
through hail and snow I'd go
just to moon you."
What's that all about then?
He's having a laugh."Moon" is to bare your bum.W'eve all done it when inebriated
Yeah i know what mooning means. But he's talking about a "good kid" with a paper round etc. It seems inconducive.

Isn't that kind of self explanatory? He's going back to his simple childhood with no complications.
I'm obviously having one of my senior moments because i'm just not getting this.
Ok kids do moonies, i get that bit, but the lyrics suggest he's a 'good kid' not a naughty kid.
Its just another type of 'Used To Be A Sweet Boy' kind of lyric - to me, anyway.

When I first got into The Smiths as an 18 year old just realising they were the best band in the world, and adjusting from U2 to them, these lyrics confuddled me -
Farewell to this land's cheerless marshes
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
Her very Lowness with a head in a sling
I'm truly sorry - but it sounds like a wonderful thing
I don't know if I've heard wrong, but I almost sure that the last word on "Cemetry gates" is sure, however, on Passions is wrtten that the last one is shut up.
Who is right?
I've always thought he was saying, 'Sugar.' As in an affectionate term. Like, "The love of Wilde is on mine, Sugar '
This is news to me
Oh well. I'll still sing 'sugar'
