    brilliant. this song is a true masterpiece. love the smiths, they will forever have a place in my heart. love morrissey, love the way he is, the way he sings... I just love it all. could someone play this song at my funeral? I would really like it. fucking great song. it speaks to me in a way like no other can. actually, all the smiths songs do that to me. the songs nowadays are so empty! I wish everyone could hear them. I'm so sad I wasn't alive when they were still together. this song is gold. oh my, I got all emotional over the smiths yet again lol

    His love for the Dolls is so admirable…. Even when shunned he still appreciated every moment of them … for him to write such an ode to a memory speaks volumes of how much the human heart can admire and endure. Just like your love for them Moz, I cherish you the same . Even though you’ll never notice me, I always carry your art with me.

    • @old5333
      @old5333 2 місяці тому

      It's not about the dolls. It's about an idol that died so most likely marc bolan.. even the guitar sounds very glam rock.. and marc did shun him when he met him in a manchester hotel as a teen

    At the record company meeting
    On their hands - a dead star
    And oh, the plans they weave
    And oh, the sickening greed
    At the record company party
    On their hands - a dead star
    The sycophantic slags all say :
    "I knew him first, and I knew him well"
    Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
    Re-evaluate the songs
    Double-pack with a photograph
    Extra track (and a tacky badge)
    A-list, playlist
    "Please them , please them !"
    "Please them !"
    (sadly, this was your life)
    But you could have said no
    If you'd wanted to
    You could have said no
    If you'd wanted to
    BPI, MTV, BBC
    "Please them ! Please then!"
    (sadly this was your life)
    But you could have said no
    If you'd wanted to
    You could have walked away
    ...Couldn't you?
    I touched you at the soundcheck
    You had no real way of knowing
    In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
    I don't care where you're going..."
    But to you I was faceless
    I was fawning, I was boring
    Just a child from those ugly new houses
    Who could never begin to know
    Who could never really know
    Oh...
    Best of! Most of!
    Satiate the need
    Slip them into different sleeves!
    Buy both, and feel deceived
    Climber - new entry, re-entry
    World tour! ("media whore")
    "Please the Press in Belgium!"
    (This was your life...)
    And when it fails to recoup ?
    Well, maybe :
    You just haven't earned it yet, baby
    I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
    You're just the same as I am
    What makes most people feel happy
    Leads us headlong into harm
    So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
    I danced my legs down to the knees
    But me and my 'true love'
    Will never meet again...
    At the record company meeting
    On their hands - at last! - A dead star !
    But they can never taint you in my eyes
    No, they can never touch you now
    No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
    They cannot touch you now
    But me and my 'true love'
    Will never meet again

This is sad, and it really overwhelms and deepens my tired soul.

    This song could have been written about Freddie Mercury. I heard rumors and suspect that Morrissey may have known something of Freddie's Aids diagnosis in the late 80's. I also suspect that Morrissey himself is either gay or bisexual and maybe he new something that we didn't about Freddie's fate at the time he recorded this song with The Smiths and the disgusting money grubbing way that the record company (and the remaining members of Queen) would ultimately cash in on the legacy of Freddie after his death. It's just a thought?
