Who is this song about ?
Is it about a real person?

The record industry/Record Company?

BPI MTV BBC?

In anpother thread somebody commented on how Morrissey had said it was about a girl he had seen at a gig.

i always thought it was either about billy fury or sandie shaw...

 

[celibate]

i thought Marc Bolan

but IMHO its metaphoric

I vaguely remember reading in an interview that it was about Billy Fury.

"No, it wasn't about Rough Trade at all. So I was a bit confused when Geoff Travis, the Rough Trade big boy, despised it and stamped on it. It was about the music industry in general, about practically anybody who's died and left behind that frenetic fanatical legacy which sends people scrambling. Billy Fury, Marc Bolan..."
