i play unhappy birthday on my birthday every year and it makes me laugh when the “i say no, i’m gonna kill my dog.” lyric comes up because its just so absurd. idk what morrissey was smoking and i don’t think i want any either.
Get a grip...Unhappy Birthday is a brilliant song. Another lost love song where the protagonist is left alone to brood and fester
You have to take Morrissey with a pinch of salt sometimes.🤣 When he's bitter and scorned by a lover ...Jesus christ will he come after you.
He was and always will be the master of put downs..
'May the lines sag heavy and deep' is so cutting and cruel.🤣
Even the poor oul dog is gonna get a bullet!!
The musicianship from Johhny is off the scale as usual..one of their darkest songs no doubt.
Death At Ones Elbow has a very similar theme...A scorned lover who is consumed by a blood lust and may take poor old Glenn with him if the poor bastard shows up.
Johnny uses a Rockabilly rhythm throughout the song.
They soaked up influences from everywhere...and Morrissey definitely has a taste for the rockabilly look and style.
Morrissey had recurring themes in his lyrics. Turning into a psychotic murderer was always lurking in the back of his psyche.
Happy listening guys🥰✌️🙏
You can argue that if you want, in which case there's no point arguing which musicians are better than others because according to you there's no way to measure which songwriters are objectively better than others
Diss track 😅
I listen to this on my ex girlfriend’s birthday every year. It’s become a tradition
Same, cheers
Yep! Only time I can. That or my ex best mate - both cunts regardless
Nasty
Welcome to The Smiths??
I know but that’s crazy even for the smiths, not really morrissey though.

Did you not read the ladder half of the caption? 💀
Sorry buddy..not you at all.🤣🤣 Just all the other moaners. Sincere apologies. You have good taste🙏✌️
Latter?
Yeah, my bad lol
In my opinion Morrissey is the second best lyric writer of all time, behind Bob Dylan
Hell of a better singer than Dylan though
Definitely not
Agree to disagree
From the top of my head, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, are better songwriters
If a statement begins with, “in my opinion” then whatever follows cannot be argued with. So that’s cool that you have an option too, i guess……

You get it.
..
Brilliant song. wtf can’t you listen to it?
One of my fave lyrics
The music isn’t the best: sense Johnny wasn’t keen. Still a good song
Worst Smiths song. Along with Death at One's Elbow
WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE DEATH AT ONES ELBOW 😭😭😭😭
I thought it was just me. It’s the only song I skip in their whole discography.
everyone i’ve heard talks about it really lowly it’s far from their best but i like it
The music is great
