High on the threshold yearning to sing … Morrissey and Patti Smith are joined together in Holy Matrimony.

A lovely Northern couple up the shops: Linder is looking out for a new bedpan and brush, and Morrissey desperately needs a nozzle for his hose. They will be content with a set of armrest covers.

To write anything at all is to care. Melanie obliges, and Morrissey savors the savior.

In an ancient European city of underground palaces and bewildering catacombs, Robbie is ecstatic to spot Gucci.

Italian waiters cannot wait.

Morrisey with one “s” is invited to the funeral of Pat Phoenix, the quintessential earth mother. In private, she was tenderly feminine; a knowing grin, a rough kindness; “You must take charge of your life”.

North London -vs- East London … a conundrum no mind could solve.

Reg Kray’s letter to Carol mentions “Morrisey [one s] who brought the record out”.

Top Of The Pops rundown shows Morrissey at number 5 yet mysteriously renamed Roachford. We grunt...

Has this been postponed to June 19? That’s what it says on Spotify now.

Honestly, Morrissey just has my favorite voice and is one of my favorite singers. He has such a great way of getting the lyrics across, and he's just one of those voices that you know instantly. — Barry Johnson (Joyce Manor)

Morrissey possesses a voice with a natural storytelling gene. His smooth and distinct baritone wrestles with melancholy and wit, and depicts a sense of longing like no other. Morrissey's voice parallels each changing emotion, bringing the theatrics when it's needed most. — K. Darroch

I am writing to share some information about several songs that were not included in your "The Smiths Song List."

According to the June 1988 issue of rockin' on (a Japanese music magazine), there was an article discussing Rough Trade's plans for a new Smiths compilation scheduled for release around the spring of 1988. While the title of the compilation remained unknown, the article listed the following tracks:

"Butcher With A Parking Ticket"
(Described as a song featuring a violent condemnation of a specific town in England.)

"Away With You, Laddie"
(A five-minute track criticizing The Communards.)

"He Has No Fury Like A Child With No Heart" (Instrumental)
(Note: This track is said to be very similar to "Into The Valley" by The Skids.)

"Blue Monday" (New Order cover)

"Untitled Track" (The Fall cover)

I have not been able to cross-reference this with Simon Goddard's Songs That Saved Your Life due to the language barrier, so I apologize if these are...
