Someone once called it the best Morrissey song of the 21st Century...
And they are absolutely correct
Better than anything else he's written since his Sabbatical....
For Me, it was songs like "You're The One For Me, Fatty" and We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful with absolutely no worthwhile lyrical insight that nearly put me off Morrissey for Six Months
Regarding the "Sonny Boy coda"
Personally, I see at as a Father standing up for his rights against a mother who wants to take the child away....
But then of course, I'm just biased....
So you think it's the production that kills the album and NOT The songs themsleves? Okay, I can buy that argument....Although, who's to say Stephen Street would or wouldn't have done a better job? Again, it's an unknown, since we have nothing to compare it to....
Yes, I agree completely on...
How many songs from Ringleader were played during those shows? You Have Killed Me, Dear God Please Help Me, Life Is A Pigsty, I Just Want To See The Boy Happy?....FOUR songs? Or were there more?
The only way you could truly condemn Visconti's production, would be if you were to compare it to...
I like it better than Maladjusted and Southpaw Grammar, and Kill Uncle, and You Are The Quarry...
the only songs that drag for me are The Father Who Must Be Killed and At Last I Am Born...but the latter is still a good song...it just has a stupid chorus with a bunch of cheesy school kids...
List DOES NOT Include songs otherwise avaliable on SOLO Studio Albums, including Live Versions of songs on b-sides...but DOES include Smiths songs performed live on b-sides
I Know Very Well How I Got My Name
Hairdresser On Fire
Oh Well, I'll Never Learn
Disappointed
Sister I'm A Poet...
Yeah, they fired him about 10 minutes after they hired him, when Dave Navarro joined...
Of course this was all around the time they were selling out and becoming "The New Grateful Dead"
