Does this lyric in "Pregnant For the Last Time" refer to holding a baby and having it drool over your shirt?

She hasn`t had the baby yet!

But it's not her first baby. It's 'pregnant for the last time'. Not'pregnant for the first time'.
Anyway, King Leer, aye, that's what the 'phlegm lapels' thing means.

You missed the point of the whole song. She's been knocked up too many times because of her tendency for sleeping around. The lyrics are basically a list of all the troublesome, embarassing, annoying things that she goes through *each time* she has one in the oven. Now she's finally made up her mind -- no more kiddies! Wonder what gave Morrissey the idea...

Phlegm lapels for the last time
Corn beef legs for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided

But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the nerve to

Chips with cream for the last time
The People's Friend for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided

Tiny striped socks for the last time
Pokes and prods for the last time
And the doctor said
"Don't nod your head until June !"

But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the chance to

Sick at noon for the last time
And who is going to clean up ?
Would you be so kind ?
Oh, everybody's staring
At the strange clothes that you're wearing

Bad advice for the last time
And people being nice for the very first time
Oh, we're so glad
That you have finally decided !

i like this part of the video because as that lyric is sung, he's modeling a very odd shirt.

Suzanne, that's the foul kimono that one of his indulgent relatives gave him, bought off a barrow in Manchester! He said somewhere that he just kept dying it different colors. I think it was either green or gold in the video. That kimono was on the cover of the NME!
