I may be stupid, but what exactly are 'first cabin highs'? I can make a guess but I'd rather just know.
New song lyrics
- Thread starter Mozmar
- Start date
The feeling of exuberance (a high), and, possibly, attempts to impress others (swanky) when travelling in a stylishly luxurious and expensive manner (first class air travel, as opposed to 'cattle' class), perhaps. In short, snobbery &/or arrogance through open displays of wealth & entitlement.

I blame "home-schooling".

Indeed, nothing important can be learned from (typical) school. No business competences, no empathy. Just a f***in pantry for wayward kids who vent their emotions there.

Ain't that the truth! At my school, when bullying was reported the retort was "oh no, bullying doesn't happen at this school". So I left, taught myself mainly but was homeschooled by some of the teachers from the aforementioned shithole.
It helps that I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, so learning independently was perfect for me. I learned more than I ever did at school. The only valuable lesson school taught me was that not only are many of the kids arseholes, but so are the adults, and that most people are to be avoided like the plague.
Certain people thought I wouldn't get anywhere, but never underestimate determination to succeed. Taught myself my entire A Level courses from books and my recorded absence through illness over those 2 years was 93%. I was once asked by a teacher - who was aware of my self learning - what grades I thought I would get at A Level and when I told her she literally cracked up. Laughed in my face in front of my mother. And then as a massive "f*** you" and knowing I was spot on, I went out and sat the exams and received exactly what I stated I would. So much for them being encouraging, huh? Not that I needed it but some kids do. I then went to uni and have done two degrees. I am a "living sign" that you don't need school to succeed.
Also, schools are increasingly feeding into the left wing cancellation crap that is pervading modern life.

I was just listening to the Pop, Collaborate & Listen podcast from a few days ago, where the whole thing is about the album Vauxhall & I, so I was looking at PJLM's page for reference and noticed a quote from Autobiography where Morrissey writes 'A last sun warms, as if it had always been waiting its chance.' So, 'the last sun warms' could be the line in TNPD.

Sorry, that's the wrong link!

That's a great find, Hercule
Indeed, in Autobiog: "A last sun warms, as if it had always been awaiting its chance. The album became the first start-to-finish emotional journey, each track as warm as the last, noise and poetry turned loose in one of those visionary sessions that your future returns will constantly search for."
So, the lyric must go "He held her firm 'til the last sun warmed" (past tense, as opposed to present).
Credit also due to @theprivilegeismine who alluded to this possibility earlier in the thread.
Edit: Lyrics amended accordingly (thanks @Famous when dead )
