To me, this songs sounds as if it was about someone who always gives cheap excuses for being late with his partner. Something like. Person A: "Why are you so late? We were supposed to meet at 7 and it's 8 o'clock already." Person B: "I'm sorry, I was delayed. I crashed down on the crossbar and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald, buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder but that won't happen ever again." "Who said I lied?" Person B thinks, clearly denying he lied and keeps lying when he says he never lies. The only time he's being honest is when he says he still loves his partner but "only slightly less than he used to". It's such a funny and catchy song. I've been singing it for days now. Moz' voice here is to die for. |

In my opinion, it's about some sexual situation. Not sure if Morrisey is the one "playing" the protagonist role here or if it is about someone else. The only thing I wanted to point out is that men have undeveloped mammary glands, too (that's why guys have nipples just like women but can't do things such as lactation). I mention this just because I saw many people saying "he's talking about a woman" just because of that line when it still could be a about a guy. I still can't figure why are always people getting so "upset" with the well-known and, almost, trademark ambiguity on the Smiths' songs. It doesn't matter if they talk about a girl or a guy, the songs are awesome and the gender of the referred person won't ever change that. Period. |
