A timeless classic. One can hate Morrissey, but appreciate his songwriting, and the great band's playing.
I like the lyrics. I too have taken a different path than most. I don't know if it was the wrong way, but it was right for me. I needed to explore, have fun. Maybe, a part of me never wanted to grow up. However, I also never needed anyone to feel content. This song resonates with me not because I think I necessarily went the wrong way, but others may have thought so because no one could hold me down. I needed to be free to see the world. I traveled the world. Had my first and only kid at 43.
Plus, remember when this song was on radio all the time, back in the day?
It was the 80s I believe? I do recall it. However. I listened to more pop music back then. I needed something with a beat. I taught dance then.
This may have been very late Smiths early 90s but still got play for years
I really enjoy Morrissey/Smiths. However, my friends call me a faggot for it.
