THE SMITHS - THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG !!!




AMAZING.
That is to say, its amazing that anyone could confuse this with being a LOVE SONG. This is not a romantic love song but this is how some fans of the Smiths categorize it. And that is odd to me.

"there were times when i could have strangled her.. but you see, i would hate anything to happen to her etc." well.. for crikeys sake, listen to the lyrics yourself. Its far from loving.

Its perfect in its own way because it is short. The video has scenes in it from a film called, "The Leather Boys" and it adds a nice backdrop to the overall piece. MOZ once again is carrying out his music themes in a cinematic fashion. There is an element of comedy to this too but you have to look very hard to get it.

Someone in college once told me you could see the characters in the movie scenes to mouth the words of the lyrics in this song..... How high was this guy? This film is from the late 50's and although some of the scenes and sounds overlap they are hardly synchronized.
