i'm glad that picture is being used for a cover! It's so cute! :)

Wonderful. I thought "In The Future When All's Well" was a better single than "The Youngest Was The Most Loved" anyway. Although, after hearing the Youngest... on single, I like it more.

What do you think "Christian Dior" is gonna be about? Perhaps how Morrissey has turned his back on his American fans? Bad move. America is a lot of the world. You can't avoid us. The U.K. will turn on you again...they always do...

Oh well, we will always have The Palms....

if that ice cream has meat in it? Dont worry, just wondering....
Maladjustedduck

I desire a replica of that handsome jacket please...Armani? Zegna? something from Italy?

heck, I know who has it and they need the business: Rubensteins -- Canal @ St. Charles in New Orleans.

anyone or any fat people know what flavor ice cream that is?

isn't he releasing a lot of live tracks - v exclusive, b sides and downloads on i-tunes? it's great, but i guess that means no more live albums. bummer! do we know what the 4th single will be yet anyone??

i think it's morrissey licking some balls and the flake in the cone is an erection.

or just not mentioned.

From 1984 and right up to and including "You Have Killed Me", I have always bought every Smiths/Moz record in the first week of release (despite the drop in quality of his music).

Having endured his appalling behaviour onstage at 2 of the gigs at his recent UK tour, I've had enough. I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to ROTT ever since, and there was no way I was gonna buy any cd single with "Ganglord" on it. It would bring back those terrible memories from April. No wonder his career is floundering again.

There's no point continuing to release Anything from ROTT. It's a Lousy cd. Never has there been a more pompus and bombastic release in decades. A bloated, over wrought hodge-podge of...Crap.

i have been a fan of moz since 1987. i just think he is a great artist i love his music. I visit his supposed fan site to wish him all the best for his new single. F**k off with your negative comments, I have come to praise Moz not to bury him. 4 years ago we all wanted new songs new tours and new albums all have been delivered thankfully to a very high standard. the smiths are deads boys get over it. "if you dont like him then dont look at him" and dont come on here posting very negative comments because it may be another 10 years before you see another album. Show some appreciation "fans"

I would like to point out that with P&P the record store.co.uk 3 format deal comes to £8 or somthing like that

Just go to HMV! save a few quid that you could be spending on the new keane single! :)

If i purchase this and download it in WMA format, can i burn this to a cd?

Thanks,

that you can tell the age of a person by looks of their hands?

It's only on the C list but it might go up (Youngest made the B, 'Killed Me' the A).
Funny tho; R2 is Uk's most listened to but airplay doesan't seem to have much of an impact on sales.
He really needs Virgins and XfM to start playing it.

I will be buying it for all the wrong reasons..because i have bought everything in practically every format since 1983..and i just hope the new b-side is worth the price of admission(a la' "ganglord").
  But really..i'm no fan of multiple releases from albums..miss non album singles and hate "bonus live tracks"(unless we're talking about the"That joke isn't funny anymore" 12"... But let's face the truth..we're not..

Talk about flogging a dead horse. Another single from a deeply average album. The never ending tour constantly promoting the same. I know his record label is skint, but surely this won't raise more than a few shekels...

Should have been the next single...especially with every thing going on right now...Bombastic..Powerful...and in your face...

This one deserves to do well. It is an amazingly
beautiful song plus it is released on my BIRTHDAY.

best,

Hazard.

I haved loved all of the sleeves off Ringleader. Classy.

Is that you Julia?

Assuming the cone does not contain a soy based ice cream (and sadly, I fear it does not), this sleeve is a tragedy, an affront to everything Morrissey purports to believe in. Morrissey's career-long campaigning for animal rights just took a serious blow. His integrity took a serious blow, as well. Anyone informed in the slightest knows that the dairy industry is as bad as the meat industry. Although I seriously doubt that Morrissey would come forward to explain himself on this one, perhaps some pressure from PETA might be in order.

Shame on Morrissey.

It's a great radio friendly song, DJ's love the sound of their own voices and will probably enjoy singing loudly their own version of the yodel at the end. Here's hoping for a number one.

What happened to the "Modern Life Is War" graffiti on the back? I thought that was the whole point of the photo.
Modern Life is War.

(a song, in the manner of Mr Morrissey)

When ice's melting you don't know where to stand
The trite truth is that you fear
you'll drown in sugar
if you're nice and sincere.

Pretending you're someone else, however
never took anyone anywhere near the freezer.
When you pretend you are the other
And write as if you knew who you were...

Now it's not warm, you know less every hour
But you still want to get inside
that fridge

And you are still moved, I bet
when you look at a bridge
And your Mars bar you still desperately want to share
with someone who'd truly truly care
etc.

and self loathing isn't your favourite flavour
at least not this second
today you'll try
a little Candour...
and you'll speak from the heart
yours, that is
(for half a minute or so)
(you'll really try to let yourself go.)

Long ago you decided
you'd always lick
your hate stick
yourself.

Because when there is no more ice you can't swim
when it's nice and easy and cool and jolly
on a beach where there's no tsunami
and no one dies, wants to kill their daddy or mummy
or puts sand in sandwiches, you have to invent tragedy

And that's what has me in stitches

Look at the 99 fake
who can not be a nice ice cream man
Oh at least yesterday you froze so
Only today, no, or maybe a minute ago?

He amuses children so

Like an old lollipop lady...
always confused... and contrary
licks licks licks
hurts
regrets
hurts again

and then on a full belly asks Jesse
" And for that one, can you find some music?
    And for that one, can you find some music?"

and lick lick lick.
like an old man in Limerick.

when ice cream is your only friend,
summer never really has an end.

the future is a
long long
hot and bothered dream
about ice cream...
ice cream
ice cream...
about ice cream.
until you wake up and s
hout
And your nose looks like a Brussels
sprout...

And your ice cream is sticky sand
And it's never the day before
And it's always the day after

And today has lost all flavour

And you're no longer in favour.

So Savour the Saviour of the day
Lick away. We all approve of gelati
and self parody
You are entirely free to say what you want to say
and do what you wanna do
Only as long as you know
it was your own tongue all along

your own refreshing
ice cream dream.

Only room for one man in this big ice cream van.

And when the van doesn't stop for anybody it must have an excellent reason.

Like, for instance, now, it's not the season...

When ice cream is your only friend
summer never really has an end.

why so bitter? I bet you have a 2 inch dick nad haven't got laid in 10 years
The cover is great, homoerotic or not
