Excerpt from the [[Mozipedia]] (US version) entry: <blockquote> ..Its only facet of interest was Morrissey's crafty choice of opening sample, 'Go on!': the voice of a young [[Mention::Martin Sheen]] in the pivotal father/son confrontation scene from the 1968 film of Frank D. Gilroy's ''[[Mention::The Subject Was Roses]]''. </blockquote> Note: [[Mention::David Tseng]] identified this sample (uncredited) to the author of Mozipedia, [[Mention::Simon Goddard]] in conversation before this item was published. davidt: I had watched the film on Morrissey's personal recommendation several years previously and noticed the sample. ==Track list== ===CD=== [Island Records β CID 671] {{tracklist | 01 = Roy's Keen | 01link = Roy's Keen (single) | 01-duration = 3:37 (Morrissey/Whyte) | 02 = Lost | 02link = Lost | 02-duration = 3:55 (Morrissey/Cobrin) | 03 = The Edges Are No Longer Parallel | 03link = The Edges Are No Longer Parallel | 03-duration = 5:05 (Morrissey/Whyte) }} == Lyrics == <poem> (Go on!)
