| Morrissey – We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It describes rivalry between friends, back-stabbing, and basically everything Morrissey is so famed for by his ex-friends. Of course, Morrissey is referring to his critics in this song: he is saying he is only being criticised by them because they are jealous of his success. Despite this, there is another aspect to the song revealed by the mention of his Northern-ness, which seems indicate that the song is partly aimed at the London music critics. www.myspace.com/prevailingtroubadour1 |

| Morrissey – I Will See You In Far-Off Places Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think it's more of the age old question of God and life beyond death, rather than relationships. What is the meaning of life and what will happen after death. Of course there is reference to aggressive American foreign policy of which Morrissey is a veteran critic. 'If the USA doesn't bomb' you is said tongue in cheek but is relevant. | |
| Morrissey – The National Front Disco Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's a song about a son lost to the National Front (a right wing organisation in the UK), and their beliefs in a forthcoming country where everything's OK due to it being wholly "white". Of course the contrast between the NF's beliefs as commented on by Morrissey here, and his own fantasy of a verdant lost England of old, is there to be made. As with anything he writes, you can't take the meaning of this on face value. www.myspace.com/prevailingtroubadour1 |

| The Libertines – Up The Bracket Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The issue may have passed but here's clarification anyway. In the hundred years war with France, the English armies Longbow was causing such devastation to the French that they vowed any English archer they found they would cut their first and middle fingers out to prevent them from firing again. It was a sign of defiance to show the French that they still have there two fingers and it has been used in the same meaning since. http://www.myspace.com/prevailingtroubadour1 |
