R.E.M. – E-Bow The Letter Lyrics 20 years ago
I went to see REM play in Hyde Park last night, and they performed this song with Patti Smith. She has an amazing voice, great song. I wasn't aware that it was her singing here until then.

I've heard that "William" was somebody with whom Morrissey had a relationship. The song was about him.

The Smiths – (Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame Lyrics 21 years ago
The bit up to the line "Last night of the fair" is from an Elvis Presley song called Marie's the Name of His Latest Flame.

The rest of the song is a song by The Smiths themselves called Rusholme Ruffians.

They performed the song at their concerts complete with the Elvis intro, but on the album version (from Meat Is Murder) the intro isn't there.

The song itself is, like many Smiths songs, about death. At a fairground.

From Anthony's mouth itself:

"purple stain refers to a double entendre of a girl's hair dye staining your pillow and a girl's menstrual flow staining your everything."
