In the absence of any material from the gang of correspondents, and to make up for the fact that yesterday's offering by The Smiths was an instrumental, here's something to do with this day of the week plus all the other sings that were on the 12" single:-**mp3 : Morrissey - Everyday......
mp3 : Morrissey - Sister I'm A Poet
mp3 : Morrissey - Will Never Marry
mp3 : Morrissey - Disappointed
The second ever solo single and one that is among his most popular to this day, 22 years after it was first released. Probably because it reminds everyone of The Smiths. Particularly the majesty of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
It reached #9 in the UK charts in May 1988. Deserved much better.
Oh and the three other tracks on the single are all belters as well.
Here's a great version from a UK telly programme:-
Happy Listening.
** have a look at a prophetic comment left behind about dmca notices. It was served for the title song, but not the b-sides. Which makes me reckon it is a record label interested, not in the fact it is Morrissey, but in a paricular song cthat has been covered by an act on their roster. It was the same the other week when I got a dmca notice for a Nick Cave song called 'Accidents Will Happen' but not for 'Dig, Lazarus Dig'.

"Disappointed" - a belting track, and most amusing - isn't this the one where he talks about this being the last song he'll ever sing, to a chorus of cheers, then changing his mind again, to a backdrop of boos?
Great stuff. Keep posting.
I don't actually like Moz very much, but I got my first (and so far only) DMCA notice for a post about* this song. So, on principle...
*I mean, literally about it. I don't do downloads on my blogs.
how dull must the life of a dmca 'specialist' be... Oh and this is possibly the best of all of Morrissey's singles releases based on all songs being single worthy!
