This is a hidden gem on Vauxhall and I. A beautiful tune. Is this song about Morrissey himself... As a parent whose children have gone a stray in life this song will mean a lot. The early pride in your son - his promise, an d then it all to go wrong... is it his or your fault. powerful.

This song has become doubly meaningful to me because when I first heard it I was a wayward son. Now I am listening as a father whose son has gone astray. I often contemplate what went wrong, and to what extent I am to blame.
