@CharmingMan I love Morrissey's lyrics, and he uses the metaphor of "home" quite often. Think in: "There is a Light.." when he sings "it's their home..." and "don't drop me home, because I haven't got one". He uses "home" at a metaphor for all that is safety and security. His lyrics often delve into being "far away from", "searching for" or having "lost" his home, and therefore his sense of security and wellbeing, which is just another single note in Morrissey's massive chord of lonliness, self-doubt and persuit of a soulmate that sustains his appeal as not only a musical...

(See Bob Dylan for a similar situation with himself and his overly zealous fans.) Respect to you all from myself, David, a writer and musician from Éire (Ireland).
