³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Managing to avoid all football references, apart from Frankly Mr Shankly which has nothing to do with the Liverpool legend. As Morrissey isn't replying to my emails, I'll go with either a tribute to the book Billy Liar, or a comment on a row with Rough Trade records. Neither of those explanations are my own, of course, I read them on the internet. I prefer the Billy Liar theme of a youthÌýwho has an inflated sense of his own talent and decides to give up the job to go and try some of that fame stuff instead. Rows with record companies aren't as interesting to people outside the band unless the band is the Sex Pistols. Although I did read that the line "I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry Mr Shankly" was a reference to someone who worked at Rough Trade and gave some of it to Morrissey himself. That was either the act of a deluded man, a desperate man or a clever man who knew how to annoy the singer. Annoying the singer is an honourable tradition in showbusiness.
