We can't let this thread go without the prerequisite suggestion of a quote from Shakespeare.
That You Alone Are You
He That Writes of You
(Meaning the way the lyrics have resonance)
What Nature Made So Clear
(Who is it that says most? which can say more
Than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew.
Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so dignifies his story,
Let him but copy what in you is writ,
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,
Making his style admired every where.)
(I don't know, maybe Morrissey hates Shakespeare, i'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to knowing stuff like that.)
