This song mustn't have very many comments because the lyrics are so self explanatory but it is still one of the greatest Morrissey songs of all time. It is probably the best commentary on half hearted friendship ever committed to music.
It's so sad though, I always feel like a horrible friend after listening to it. As we become older we really do seem to lose touch with our friends and become increasingly focused on our jobs, relationships and money hence Morrissey's call to arms:
Give up your job
Squander your cash - be rash
Just hold on to your friends
The section below always draws my attention to friends I have fallen out with over stupid arguments or misunderstandings but have left it so long that the friendship cannot be rescued:
There are more than enough
To fight and oppose
Why waste good time
Fighting the people you like
Who will fall defending your name
Oh, don't feel so ashamed
To have friends
What a moving and touching song. Morrissey you observant and poetic mofo!
I always expected to hear Smoke Hash as well lol.
