I just watched 4 music presents… Morrissey from earlier in the month. He’s aged really well and the new songs sound good. I bought the new album for Toby for his birthday, so must make sure I get to listen to it too.
Morrissey performed a Smiths song as well, Still Ill. The Smiths are possibly the one band that most represent my late teenage years to me. Their songs are instantly familiar and I still know a lot of the lyrics by heart. Oh those evenings spent discussing the most hilariously depressing lyrics!
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine
Wonderful.
