      Perhaps more credit would be given if they weren't such elitists. Not that many bands or artists aren't but Morrissey is known for his cocky I'm better than you attitude. The rest of the band did have to live in his shadow. He saw himself as 4/5s of the band with Mars taking up almost all of the remaining 1/5. A good lyricist but a lame human

But then, what he's singing will sink in and you'll be in stitches at his wit and irony etc. The guy wasn't a musician as such, but his ability as a lyricist was phenomenal.

    This is one of the reasons why I love The Smiths; they would play the most funkiest, upbeat tunes but the lyrics would be on a different spectrum, that's where the real music is at. I heard they do this on purpose as a way to make fun of themselves and I don't think a lot of people catch that, which makes them so great!

    One of my all-time favourite basslines, and Rourke plays it faultlessly on this recording. I must've watched this clip about 50 times over the years, but I never tire of it. Went to see them quite a few times in the early days, and once stole Morrissey's daffodils out of his back pocket when they were coming off stage (tenuous claim to fame, there!)

      When I first heard this years ago I was amazed how good it was musically and lyrically. I've never researched the song but to me it was a play on the famous slogan Socialism or Barbarism and the often xenophobic saying charity starts at home. Knowing Morrissey it's probably more an ironic play on the latter. The former struck more of a chord with me as I think I was reading Lenin at the time.
