From the ice-age to the dole-age
There is but one concern
I have just discovered

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers

As Anthony said to Cleopatra
As he opened a crate of ale
Oh, I say

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers

Send me the pillow (pillow)
The one that you dream on
Send me the pillow (pillow)
The one that you dream on
And I'll send you mine

    A prime example of Johnny Mars genious at work. A perfect melody, backed by Morrissey's beautiful voice and clever lyrics. The lyric: "Send me the pillow, the one that you dream on and I'll send you mine", conjures up an image of 2 long distance lovers who so badly need to feel eachother.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
