So, the subject of the song is obviously Morrissey-related, but the second verse where she mentions a rape doesn't imply that it was Morrissey who raped her. Any bird brain could have figured that out. She seems to be referencing something shitty and traumatic that happened to her, much in the same way that her relationship with M turned out. I don't really get the April Richardson part though? Are they tight? I never knew April well, but it's common knowledge that she publicly "broke up" with Morrissey a while back because, like so many other people, she didn't think all of the vile shit he was saying was acceptable. Swingers is a coffee shop/diner in Los Angeles, and someplace I can see both of them hanging out at, but I don't get the gesticulating reference? I do remember April posting something on Facebook a few years ago where she had been performing at the Laugh Factory or Comedy Club or one of those types of places in Hollywood and Morrissey and Jesse were there that same night, possibly to see someone else. Apparently she claimed Jesse started screaming at her when he saw her, about what I can't recall, but she seemed pretty shaken up about the whole thing. Anyways, this whole story is very weird, and very interesting... It will be interesting to see if Moz responds at all, but I doubt it. Maybe he should also do a 'diss track?'
Maybe jesse will respond on social media
Oh OK so when her lyrics to "St. Even" explicitly read "never had a bad sexual experience / even the rape wasn't really that bad" to you that means "her sexual experience with him was bad" and that there's no implication of rape.
Um, OK. We reading the same song lyrics?
Right. She's comparing the past to her experience with Morrissey. She's ranking him in her collection of sexual experiences. Otherwise, what's the point of saying she never had a bad sexual experience? If that's all there was to it then it'd be a happy song, not a revenge song.

She must mean the rape is metaphorical for her career. She has no career to pillage! I saw her with Moz in St. Louis and nobody knew her in her hometown. She is the most untalented/undeserving person I have ever seen get so many breaks in the music business. Seems like a nice girl. I guess now is the time to turn the tables and rape Morrissey's career? Sounds all a little hypocritical.
She's not untalented by a long shot. It's just not OK to say or even cryptically imply that somebody raped you when that same somebody, during the same time period, attempted to help you and your career for years and you were fine with it and didn't say a thing about "rape."
Jesse, shgouldn't you be practicing?For one he has met several women unlike you so the only plus point for you is the fact you never dealt with any women so the chances of you raping a woman is zero but then again we haven't questioned your mother.
"Legalize theft, leaves me bereft..."These lyrics are horrible. What do you call them? Revenge lyrics? This song will not help her career.
As a side note: The lyrics seem to be written by an 8th grader.
So...now she's implying he raped her? Interesting how that never was an issue when she was using him to get a bigger audience.
But I guess when that didn't work out, well....it's the same old song.
It doesn't. Or rather, I'm certain she wasn't. But she's sandwiched that controversial verse in between two others which appear to be about him to allow people to think it. She might not have benefited musically from him, but she certainly learned all about trolling from the master.Where in this lyric does she imply that she was raped by Morrissey? Answer: nowhere.
Whether you like KY, or not, please do not put such words in her mouth.

Fleetingly, yes, of course. It would be odd not to, given the context, the apparent target of the lyrics and the sudden jarring appearance of the word 'rape'. Ponderingly it more deeply (or as deeply as this drivel will allow), logic says this cannot be the meaning. But you can't toss words around like that for dramatic effect and then not expect people to ask questions.Has she or have you, and others,
thunk it? I get no sense of this association at all from the lyrics. The lyrics make absolutely no reference to what is being alleged. It's shameful to make this leap when the evidence (the lyrics) do not support the allegation.
