Margaret on the Guillotine

The Margaret in question is of course Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister during the 1980s. Absurdly enough, due to his comments wishing for the death of Thatcher, Morrissey had his house searched by the police, as he later documented in the song He Knows I'd Love To See Him. This song sees the introduction of one of Morrissey's favourite gambits, the melodramatic sound effect, with the sudden guillotine sound closing the song and the album. The title of this song was originally intended to the title of The Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead.

The Queen Is Dead borrows it's title from a section of Hubert Selby Jnr's book Last Exit To Brooklyn.

Actually, I retract my statement that the British public are stupid, because a) I am part of the british public (although i am under 18, so that may be somewhat irrelevant) and b) because it is, to some degree, politically incorrect, or may be considered so. The rest of what I'd put there still stands though.

...Dunno how to tell you, but this is a Morrissey song... it's on Viva Hate. Although the fact that it as originally the title for The Queen Is Dead is accurate.

Oh morrissey bite your tounge--Thatcher knows some people

XD

This is, as it has been pointed out, is a Morrisey song. not the bloody Smtihs, twats! I am a Labour supporter, always have been. Love the lyrics of this, haven't heard the song itself. Had his house search upon the songs release? Ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you;

THE BRITISH PUBLIC!!!!!!

Such a stupid bunch of people, I know, but this is how we are.

I love how Morrissey never hesitates to say what he thinks.
