How could there be no posts about one of the Smiths' most controversial songs? It's not on any albums, but you can find the BBC version on Kazaa.
The Smiths got into a lot of trouble over this one because of apparent allusions to statutory rape of boys. There are certainly some lines that would prove this to be true:
A boy in the bush
is worth two in the hand
"I think I can help you get through your exams"
"And when we're in your scholarly room
who will swallow whom?"
"There's more to life than books you know
but not much more"
However, I doubt the Smiths would write a song so blatantly about something I doubt they would do in the first place. Your opinions?
