Anyone ever notice the similarities from The Jam's " The Place I Love " and The Headmaster Ritual from the Smiths?

I've been a fan of the Smiths for quite some time now, but am only recently getting into The Jam (who are incredible by the way)

Now try Saturday's Kids up against You're The One For Me, Fatty.
 
I always thought there was a similarity between Town Called Malice and This Charming Man...Morrissey had some of the Jam's compilation album SNAP played during the Vauxhall & I signing session in Manchester in 1994.

I think it's more a case of two bands having similar influences.
