Serious? This song is a hilarious indictment of Morrissey's own big mouth! He is the Joan of Arc of this song and the flames he's talking about are those he brought on himself by mouthing off about the royal Family, Madonna, and too many other subjects to name. That's why I loved him--his crackpot statements and acidic wit were second to none in the music business. People who didn't get the humor in the Smith's songs were totally missing the point.

-nods- I especially like his songs for that reason. They're all so comforting in that wittily lamenting kind of way. Plus, his voice is just superbly romantic.

Hurray for intelligent people. The Smiths are so often mistaken for a miserable sad band, I can't see why... Morrissey's lyrics accompanied by Marr's guitarplay often creates a cynism that goes far beyond the self-complaining bastard that many mistake him for. Morrissey is humour, which is why I like him.

And this is why our black goth friend Robert Smith deserved a song like 'Unloveable' to be thrown his way.
(oh sorry to the people who thought it was a sad song about misery in life, he actually mocks you while you listen to it :-) )
