Basically sounds the same as the last song.

It's not just that he's monotone and boring but the whole band are. The arrangements are just the blandest of the bland.

Apart from the vocals.

As played through a transistor radio by a bloke outside your fourth-floor bedroom window clomping about on the scaffolding at 8:01am.

"I smoke cuz I'm hoping for an early death and need to cling to something", that it, keep repeating it. So we all know it's a good line.

Slow one.

I always felt like this song was about hair loss.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:19 pm

This at least works on basic harmonic, melodic level.

Fake ending!

He wasn't going to waste that guitar sound with Morrissey bleating all over it!

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:19 pm

False ending! llama

Onto side 2!

Sounds like Rusholme Ruffians.
