3. "Frankly Mr. Shankly" - The Smiths

Morrissey has bigger dreams, Mr. Shankly. The job he has in "Frankly, Mr. Shankly," released as part of the Queen is Dead LP in 1986, opens with the utterly relatable lines "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held, it pays my way and it corrodes my soul."

Loads of covers seem to go though here, loads are great. But i recently came across this on 'Youtube', In my opinion one of the best Moz/Smiths covers to date.
