An easy ten, nothing that I would like to change with this song at all. Moz's lyrics are brilliant plus inventing a new word ("our unsleapable friend/get's the message on an ill wind"). Musically this also stands out from the rest of his catalogue, in a good sence.
 
i know we all love Moz and The Smiths but voting 10 for eveything seems silly :p
 
Without question one of my favourite Morrissey songs. One of my favourite ever songs in fact. Its perfection.
 
I am quite liking this song but not really loving it.
Probly just heard it too many times over the years.
Those three 'Everyday is like Sunday' b-sides must be pretty much the strongest on any one single he's ever done.
Bring back Mr Street!
 
6.
Not my bowl of soup. Perhaps it sounds great live, but the cut I have from the single just leaves me: 'ok, next'.
 
Errr, this song sounds like its mocking the riffs from how soon is now?
Eitherway, lyrically this song is superb.
Musically, it sounds like a b-side of course. Good song, I give it a 9.
 
First time i ever touched morrissey was last night during Disappointed...so i have to give it a ten. But, to be fair, i would have given it a ten no matter... It's on my top five.
 
3 reasons why this song is a ten:

DRANK TOO MUCH AND I SAID TOO MUCH
AND THERES NOWHERE TO GO
BUT DOWN

and

Don't talk to me, no
About people who are "nice"
'Cause I have spent my WHOLE LIFE
in RUINS
Because of people who are "nice"

and of course:

This is the last song I will ever sing (YEAH)
No I've changed my mind again (aaaaw)
Goodnight
and thank you
 
An eight for me. It is near perfect, i think I voted harshly to be honest!

Bring back Mr Street!

More so, bring back Mr. Reilly.

He is the best guitarist Morrissey's ever worked with, alongside Johnny.
 
One of my all-time favorite Morrissey songs - and probably the best b-side he ever produced. The perfect concert closer - it didn't quite feel right when he put it in the middle of his 2006 Chicago show. I just love everything about this song - the lyrics, the vocals, the music, the humor. What's not to love? It obviously sounds a lot like "How Soon Is Now?" but I prefer "Disappointed" any day. This is the pinnacle of the Morrissey/Street songwriting partnership. Too bad it didn't last. A 10, of course.
