I know most people don't like it. I DO. It's a permanent in my top 10 Moz songs.

(embarrassment smilie doesnt work btw)
 
Why haven't I heard of these songs??? I didn't know the one prior to this either.
 
I too gave it a 7. It's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Papa Jack is another story. ;)

Nocturn, He Cried was an album track from Maladjusted. Have-a-Go Merchant was a bside to Boxers and was released on the World of Morrissey comp.

I like Papa Jack much more than I like this. Poor Papa Jack.. so hated.

I did get to hear Moz soundcheck this in 97. That was easily my favourite time hearing it.

I wish I had a bunch of Morrissey songs I hadn't heard yet. I'm actually jealous.

Oh, that explains it. I don't have either of those albums.
 
Just a 6, sorry Moz.
 
It's a 5...nothing to this one..the I-y-y-ied...really kills it for me...
 
7.
It seems I lost it when moving my files, and did not notice until now that my Maladjusted was one track short:eek: So, well, nice to hear it again, but I didn't miss it.
 
Its a very average song I'm afraid. But not as poor as Papa Jack just to agree with some of the earlier posts. Only a "must try harder" 5 outta 10 for me.​
 
which cretin gave this a 10? I suppose they'll be wanting a new scale for Smiths tracks
 
The third best song from "Maladjusted" after "Trouble Loves Me" and "Maladjusted.

Probably my least favorite solo song. I like the lyrics, and the riff, but the "he cry-yi-yied" part wears on me.
