I've always adored this song. When Morrissey floats the "I Am So Young" section he sounds so melancholy and sexy and self-conscious and glam, all at the same. Very fascinating. A possible interpretation of the lyrics is he's a shy, reclusive young man writing a telegram to a call boy requesting his sexual experience to escort him out of his loneliness.
