Morrissey, like the rest of The Smiths, was a lad of Irish decent and thats where the "A rush and a push and the land is ours" comes from, definately. He was in favour of Irish independence, not sure what his views are now. |

Terrible song, one of the worst Smiths LP songs. Cant think of a worse song on the eponymous debut or on any of the following three. |

Boss Man you cant be serious...the version on Hatful of Hollow is so touching and delicate. Johnny and morrissey both admitted that the electric version of this song that can be found on Louder than Bombs was an abhorration of the beautiful acousitc one |

Cant believe nobody mentioned Thatcherism; "If you must go to work tomorrow, well if i were you i wouldnt bother"-Morrissey hated the idea of Thatcher making everyone try and get a job |

worst song in the Smiths CATALOGUE (spell correctly if you are going to criticise). No its not the worst song they ever performed and that is a fact. Morrissey and Marr both admit that Golden Lights gets said title. |

| The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? Lyrics

Best Smiths song ever? Get real! "how soon is now" is the most recognisable because of Johnny Marr's trick of altering the volume of the amp repeatedly which creates the distinctive shuddering guitar effect. But really, how can you say that this is better than Back to the Old House, There is a Light and Asleep? |

As I havent read the book I cant comment, but I think its great how so many of you have discovered the Smiths through this book. Sadly, it reflects the apparent lack of airtime on the Radio that the Smiths are given these days |

this was not the smiths most controversial song, that would be "Suffer Little Children" (if your english and northern u might understand). indeed it was controversial, but to think it is about child abuse is frankly ludicrous. |
