Cover art for This Night Has Opened My Eyes lyrics by Smiths, The

An absolutly fantastic Simths song - yet so under-rated. Explicitly it is about a girl giving up her child, but there are hidden meanings throughout. 'News of the World' may be a tacky tabliod but it may also mean wrapping the 'baby' in the statistics of left children and the media as a whole. 'He said he'd cure your ills' is ambigious. This could mean the doctor for an abortion whcih never took place or the man that she slept with. Maybe I'm completely wrong - but it's my interpretation :)
