We close out the P's with this Morrissey/Boorer composition, a B-side on the "I Have Forgiven Jesus" single.
What do we think?
Oh, God... I adore, adore, adore, adore, adore this song. From the first moment I heard it (must have been 2006). The vocal melody is superb and inconsolably melancholic, the instrumentation balances perfectly between light as air and rough and heavy, Mozzer sings perfectly and the piano is worth the price of admission alone. The fact that this song was excluded from Swords is indefensible. Oh, and the lyrics? Endlessly quotable and very original. I'd be hard pressed not to include this in my Solo Top 10.
Glad I’m not the only one!I too love this song. He sounds genuinely pained here. Music captures the feeling of the song and words here very well
Could very well have been later than that.Totally underrated like the "Slum Mums" too. One of the best Quarry b-sides and I really wonder at which time of the Quarry recordings this one was finalized.
