"For whether you stay, or you stray, an in-built guilt catches up with you" is one of the finest lines of poetry evar written.

Pure Love - 10

Perfect lyrics and the music is wonderfully 'depressing'

For whether you stay or stray an inbuilt guilt catches up with you...

Can't hear this song without thinking of this video.

Me, neither. I've never seen anything else like it. Wonder whether Hugh's in there somewhere.

10. 10. 10. One of the best non-Marr compositions Moz has ever sung on. I mean, please. The strings! Lyrics are classically, unquestionably Morrissey. Like, if someone asked me to quote a quintessential Morrissey lyric, this could definitely be it. Melancholy, reflective, with some wit and some unexpected turns.

Morrissey is the Poet of Longing, and this song evokes and epitomizes that particular emotion, I think.

It is one of Morrissey's best solo efforts to date. The lyrics, the string arrangement, the voice that sounds resigned to being alone forever, and lastly, arguably the saddest guitar ever heard - by Vini Reilly. It is absolutely heartbreaking stuff. A beautiful masterpiece that can only be a 10 from me. Must go listen to this right now.

My theme song. Absolute perfection. No other score but a 10 would do it justice.

the other day I sent this video to a friend that had no idea of who he was or how he looked like,etc. (he is more of a classic music guy).He wrote back SOO IMPRESSED- he was like,oh...I never immagined Morrissey was like this,that was beautiful!

I love that video (oh,wait... am I repeating myself? )

my apologies ! i only gave it a 9 , then watched this video and realised it should have been a 10 (again) The original 12" of "sunday" had an extended version on it i recall with a lovely elongated instrumental finish. I think this was the best ever Morrissey solo 12" package with sister I'm a poet and ... and .. Was there a fourth track ? Just been to find it but cannot locate it at the mo'

Will Never Marry is my favorite 'short' Mozza song
