Morrissey's cool cover, and more: Ryan Dombal recommends four songs worth checking out this week
MORRISSEY, ''A SONG FROM UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS''
With dreary lines like ''I am angry, I am ill, and I'm as ugly as sin/ My irratibility keeps me alive and kicking,'' this song seems to be yet another tragic tune penned by mope master Morrissey. It's not. Though the lyrics are suitably glum, the song was actually originated by post-punk group Magazine on their 1980 album, The Correct Use of Soap. Moz offers a stirring tribute while putting his own theatrical stamp on the obscure tune — still, its fierce, angular melodicism remains intact. Buy the track — an Internet-only B-side from the ''The Youngest Was the Most Loved'' single — on iTunes.
(I bought this on a CD single....why they say it's a download only???)
