[Tomi]

A truly wonderful song in every respect!

 

[imogen11]

One of my favourite solo tracks from my favourite solo album.
I'd say it's a 9er.

Interesting. Never heard that story, but I had wondered why both Boz and Alain both seemed to "own" the song. The lads working it out...

I think Boz played this a few times at his solo shows.
Someone once asked him why, considering it was an Alain Whyte composition.
Boz claimed that altho Alain wrote it, it was Boz who advised against the song's original 'rock' arrangement!
Personally, I've always quite liked, but never really loved, this song...

8. I don't like the alt-country live arrangement, because of the way Morrissey attacks the lyrics. It's more like he's stabbing at the words these days, and I really liked the lazy sibilance ("the glazz hidden in the grazz") of the way he sang it on the studio version. That said, this song contains one of my top-5 Moz lyrics ("I've been stabbed in the back so many, many times I don't have any skin. . .but that's just the way it goes.") so I'm partial to it despite whatever it may lack musically.
