We round off the R's with this Morrissey/Whyte composition from the Maladjusted album. Also released as a single, it reached #42 on the UK singles chart. (Hence the recorded performance for Top of the Pops was never shown and only dusted off for TOTP2 a few years later.)
What do we think of this one?
A song from the last truly English Lp, he would ever make and to me. a fantastic lp. The intro is my fave into song since QID.
Sorry to bang on about the English thing, but there are Mexicans who actually think he is Mexican.
Some even think he would be nowhere if not for them. I remind them there are no Mexicans who fill the venues in the UK and Ireland, Israel and Japan , Australia or Sweden, this fact is lost on them
Some even say " we are his real fans" yet they have no clue about the reference points and even the ones who read up and do, they don't get them on any real deep, lived level, how could they?
He was always classed as the most British of performers and that for some of us, the moment he went full-on for the Mexican fan base, was when his lyrics went to shit
So, getting that off my blessed chest, Back to the song, M seems to be ashamed of it, I see no reason why... Its not quite "I Keep Mine Hidden" , its not too far from there though,
Its the film Confessions Of A Window Cleaner in a couple of minutes. Quite a nice tune from Alain as well .
When the lp came out I listened to this, Maladjusted, Wide To Receive and He Cried ( I even threw in his Tales Of The Unexpected influenced, Sorrow Will Come In The End)
Edit: Had to change an embarrassment of spelling mistakes, sorry to everyone who waded through it. I was hard at OT , working on a Saturday is a B I A T C H
