Please score these Morrissey/Boorer tracks (A-L)

[Deleted member 29227]

Boz Boorer has co-written quite a few songs (54*), so, to continue the theme of previous ‘co-write’ related threads (Jesse Tobias, Gustavo Manzur), which have been reasonably successful, I thought it might be a good exercise to also score each one of Boz's co-writes out of 10.

Due to volume, balanced with possible impact on members’ time, I’ve opted to do this in 2 phases, & have split the tracks into 2 batches, so here’s the first batch of 26 for Phase 1 (A-L). You know the drill by now, so let's go! For clarity, scores should range between 1-10.

Here they are in alphabetical order:

1. Action Is My Middle Name
2. All The Young People Must Fall In Love
3. Ammunition
4. Art-hounds
5. Black Cloud
6. Blue Dreamers Eyes
7. Brow Of My Beloved
8. Christian Dior
9. Come Back To Camden
10. Drag The River
11. Honey, You Know Where To Find Me
12. I Can Have Both
13. I Couldn't Understand Why People Laughed
14. I Like You
15. I Wish You Lonely
16. I'd Love To
17. I'm Not Sorry
18. I'm Playing Easy To Get
19. I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
20. Istanbul
21. Jack The Ripper
22. Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up On The Stage
23. Julie In The Weeds
24. Kit
25. Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning
26. Lover-To-Be

(*I Know Who I Love & Diana Dors remain hidden/unreleased/unavailable.)

(Phase 2 (M-Y) will follow in due course.)

NB: If I give you a 'Like' or 'Informative' this indicates I've captured your score.
