We finish up the short E's section of the A-Z with this song, Morrissey's second single as a solo artist and taken from Viva Hate.
What do we think of this one?
Oh, "I don't eat my friends."Great video too. I wonder what the girl's t-shirt said.
It should have been the lead single..I'm fascinated by the charts (always was, until they became less meaningful with the advent of streaming) and this song's chart placing is really interesting. (Am talking about the UK charts here.) Here's a shot of its second week in the chart, when it reached its highest position of #9:

First up, there are only two other good songs in that chart (The Timelords and Aztec Camera; I love Kylie but that's not one of her better ones). But isn't it kind of amazing that a song as unimpeachably great as "Everyday Is Like Sunday" never got any higher than that? Was it because the album was already out? Was it lack of radio play? Or was Morrissey just...never very mainstream at all?
Yes, agree on the lead single thing.It should have been the lead single..
As it’s a better song than Suedehead
therefor I think it would have been top 3 ....
Also I can’t believe the utter and complete shite that is higher in the charts than Moz...
Dreadful when you look down that chart, thank heavens for songs like Sunday....
I think Voyage Voyage is a fantastic, melancholy pop song.I'm fascinated by the charts (always was, until they became less meaningful with the advent of streaming) and this song's chart placing is really interesting.

Fair play - I can't remember it but will give it a listen later today!I think Voyage Voyage is a fantastic, melancholy pop song.
Still Morrissey’s second most famous song, second only to Suedehead, on Spotify these days. Only First of the Gang comes close.I'm fascinated by the charts (always was, until they became less meaningful with the advent of streaming) and this song's chart placing is really interesting.

Good to see some love for Matt and Luke! (and the other guy)very strong intro,its a song if i hear it a lot i get sick of it but only hearing it once in a while it sounds great.
havent seen this video in a while,good to see carry on abroad playing in the shop window and living room.
regarding the charts,it was the start of stock aitken waterman so the their was crap on a grand scale entering the charts.ps i exempt bros from this who had a few great pop songs which i still watch today.
yeah the other guy,he went on to manage tina turner,sade and was responsible for robbie williams early solo career so hes not doing too bad for himself.i owe you nothing could have been a perfect M title for a song.Good to see some love for Matt and Luke! (and the other guy)
