I always thought the title had to do with things that appear glamorous actually being quite seedy and nasty, such as London actually being a place where quite a lot of people were sniffing glue?
I dunno. Otherwise, it's a great attack on England, and I love singing along to 'London is Dead', because it is, it's a horrible dirty expensive place, where everyone is miserable, and I'm very glad I don't work there anymore.
'We look to Los Angeles for the language we use' is again Morrissey upset with what Britain has become. The originators of the English language, and we speak a bastardised American version - wassup wit dat yo???
'We won't vote Conservative because we never have' is also a great line, but sadly probably no longer true...
