            New B-side (Score:2, Interesting)
            He introduced the song as the b-side of his new single, but he did't give the title. It is brilliant. Similar tempo to HSIN but the lyrics are about gang-lords and bribing police and being trapped in ghettos. Powerful stuff

                      It's better than these songs:

                      "On The Streets I Ran"

                      It's a great song, but it's only better than I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now on ROTT in my opinion.

                      I've loved this song for the last two years, and really hope he plays it at Gateshead. And the Ally Pally. And Sheffeild. And the three Manchester gigs. And Halifax. And Blackburn. And Liverpool. And the last night at the Palladium.

                      He can drop it for the other gigs though.

                      In case anyone is two years behind...

                      Don't dig for
                      A metaphore
                      Has it not twigged with you yet
                      And don't wonder
                      Why I'm stil around
                      I'm just playing easy to get

                      Don't dig for
                      A secondary meaning
                      At worst you might just find the first
                      And don't wonder
                      Why I'm stander over here
                      I'm just playing easy to get

                      Do I have to
                      Drop anchor like a sailor
                      To switch on the bulb in your head
                      Do not frisk me
                      Silence is your answer
                      I'm just plain easy to get

                      And so easy
                      Maybe you've had me?
                      If you had then you would not forget
                      When you see me
                      Between (two places in LA with mexican names)
                      I'm just plain desperate!

                      So don't waste time trying to get to know me
                      I'm yours! I'm yours!
                      And don't waste time with snappy converstation
                      I'm yours! Everyone knows...
                      I'm yours!

                                          The security guys at last night's gig were a bit 'ad-hoc' with where you could and couldn't go. Early on, you were able to take your drink into the main hall but later on they decided you couldn't and just before Mozz came on, people turned up with their drinks again.
                                          Anyway, thats not the least bit interesting, he definately played 'The Father who must be killed' and we had a small rendition of 'Loch Lomond' as well.
                                          All in all a great little venue which felt very intimate.

                                                Sounding really good, but for some reason I fear the studio version. I have the feeling it's a really really good live track which will be made far worse by that voice effect he's used on both ROTT and Quarry, and kind of, on Kill Uncle but it really fitted in quite well on the latter.

                                                    At the start he came on with that silly knot in his shirt, as he's been doing the past few dates.

                                                    He also had a sticker on his chest, looked like a penguin from where I was standing.

                                                    One shirt throw.

                                                    Highlights were Life Is A Pigsty and Trouble Loves Me. The latter was breathtakingly beautiful. Human Being was also very good.

                                                    He mentioned something about saying to the crowd in Stirling that he was going to Greenock soon, can't recall what he said after that...

                                                    Mentioned something about killing the New York Dolls?

                                                    And for those who care, he said something to Julia at one point.

                                                    After At Last I Am Born this nice woman in the front row (you got yer picture in the Greenock Telegraph, wahey!) said something to do with the line in the song, it sounded like " 1 2 3 life" instead of "one true free life"?? Moz handed her the mic, couldn't make out what was said after that, but after she said it, Moz said "Oh, that's a cop-out".

                                                    Hello to the nice English woman with the chocolate who I was talking to in the queue. And to the lovely American guy who looked after me in the pit. Didn't catch your name, sorry, but you had attended 39 Moz gigs and knew all the words. :D

                                                      Greenock Town Hall Gig (Score:0)
                                                      Morrissey performed for the first and maybe only time in Greenock. The set list was an intersting mix of smiths classics , solo album snippets and of course lots of TROTT tracks. I have to say that the inclusion of the new single's (The Youngest Was The Most Loved) was one the sadly few highlights performed on the night. I believe this tour is sadly (like the album) horriffically inferior to the YATQ tour was. Another disappointment was that there was as ever only 1 encore - with a set-list that only lasted a mere 80 minutes. One redeeming feature - Sons & Daughters were very good - good luck to them. Has it put me off seeing Morrissey again - not a chance !
