This is probably my favourite Morrissey song, or certainly in the top 5. When I first heard it, I thought it wasn't Morrissey. The singing style is so unusual to his normal style. The whole song is like something between Bryan Ferry and Pink Floyd!
I love how he goes to a whisper at times and the lines "the sky became mad with stars"..."she was nobody's nothing"...."and another day passes like a dream".
It's quite strange how sings "horray" and "oh no" like he's a third person specutator of this scene, this girl fighting for her life in the sea. Very spooky. She's just swallowed up by the sea which becomes calm after and nobody notices she was there or existed.
Only Morrissey could come up with such lyrics and ideas for songs.
@roxyfan - yeah... the detached third person view of the scene and his complete lack of sympathy for the woman, “there’ll be no fuss, she was nobody’s nothing”, with the clarinet and his and other voices make it an awesome song... good comment !!!!
