| The Smiths – Meat Is Murder Lyrics

Meat is Murder does preach vegetarianism BUT more importantly and powerfully it actually is Morrissey identifiying with the raising, slaughtering and consumption of defenceless creatures by their superiors...so it can relate to Morrissey himself whilst at school in Manchester, where kids had their brains fried ("heifer whines could be human cries"). It is a metaphor for the violence society wreaks...hence the soldier on the cover of the album with Meat is Murder written on the helmet by Morrissey...The army is another institute of civilised barbarism....another part of the MEAT industry...Morrissey is preoccupied by Institutional Violence |

| The Smiths – Hand in Glove Lyrics

This debute single was the wedding music for The Smiths...the wedding being betweem Morrissey and Marr...the lyrics are a declaration of Morrisey's love for Marr..as well as being the manifesto for the Smiths..this is actually the same thing. Therefore it is a declaration of War on the World. The hidden agenda of all great love affairs. ..w'ell have something you will never have" is a pop at the current climate in the 80's..what The Smiths have (Morrissey and MArr) is integrity, honesty, intelligence, genius, scary stage movements...i.e Morrissey himself...these are the words of a man taking on the world and loving it...I dont think MArr was full aware of the lyrics otherwise the SMiths would have split sooner. |
