Indeed it is. Jerry Finn's production only makes it sound even better. Unfortunately the lyrics might play into the hands of those who only see Morrissey as the depressing pope of mope who can only sing about not being loved all the time. Ofcourse we all know that there's far more to his work, the numerous topics he's discussed in songs is staggering and the depth to his lyrics, the imagery, wit, sarcasm etc. other lyricists can only dream of matching in quality. No matter, this is a good song. Pretty straightforward really, the narrator no longer holds any faith in anyone else loving them and so seeks to escape loneliness within the city of Paris, seeking love and romance within the buildings themselves. Or is it? I'm reminded of recent news stories where people have literally fallen in love with buildings. Perhaps Morrissey is building on that idea. Or maybe its about a certain person named "Paris"....... My money's on the straightforward suggestion to be honest, but there's depth there if you want it.....
