Every Single Instinct Lyrics

Cover art for Every Single Instinct lyrics by Superchunk

This song is about Morrissey and his relationship with the childhood home town. Growing up in a place riddled with poverty was not easy and it greatly influenced his writing. I think Mac did a great job of portraying Morrissey as painter painting out every song and then eventually gaining fame and losing "every single instict" that he had previously known from his old life.

Brit Slang is used: regs=regulars (at a bar or restaurant) scab=union strike

Why would Superchunk write a song about Morrissey?
