[@markboyle4241]

Spot on!

[@w0mblemania]

An alternative take: this is a self-indulgent song which displays misplaced anger and frustration. The protagonist is clearly self-involved, self-important. She believes she is morally superior to those around her. She doesn't belong in this shitty town, amongst these selfish, shitty people. She is better. She deserves more. She shows her contempt for those around her, but also her cowardice: instead of debating with someone and having her ideas tested, she instead slyly drops her attacks on unprepared people. As the wise prophet Lisa Simpson said, selling angst to youth is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

I remember those days.. The 80's were so weird at first and then you got used to all the new wave and alternative music.. I remember singing to the Violent Femmes and They Might Be Giants.. and then the 90's crept in.. It was still really good but these bands were beginning to fade.. their stuff started sounding old and played out.. Nobody wanted to see (or be caught dead at) the 4th showing of Depeche Mode.. Synth-pop was dying. Everyone was sick of poppy boy bands, big hair, brightly colored tights wearing pseudo rockers.. That grunge sh!t came in and the Pacific NW rock scene took over.. and just like that the 80's weren't cool anymore.

I used to find this video hilarious when I was a teenager in Southend - by all accounts, apparently the local council were not amused and did not approve of the song's lyrical contents. These days when I watch it, I just feel sad. So many of these locations (the Golden Disc record shop in particular) were a huge part of my teenage years, and while I couldn't wait to leave the place, this video is such a beautifully shot period piece. Nobody cared about Southend in those days so there's not really much else out there from this time period. I always get a bit upset when I see the road at the top of the precinct at 2:00 - because yes, that actually was one of the points where our parents used to pick us up after a Saturday spent shopping or sulking around. Long gone days, and sadly mostly departed people.

This song and video perfectly captures the mood and feel of a British seaside town that has long since seen its glory years. These towns are now trapped with this retro aesthetic, the thrills of yesteryear and a seemingly permanent population of old age pensioners that languish in this distant nostalgia. These are the places where the working class (some middle class too), displaced and pushed out of bigger more competitive cities, come to find some semblance of a more traditional family life. Their children end up like the female protagonist in this video, wandering aimlessly through a grey time capsule of a town, trying to find meaning in this decay and forgotten past. The sea provides a glimpse into the wider world and allows one to ponder on the possibilities, but is it enough to galvanise them? In the end most of them become content in the mundaneity of it all. The various trends, subcultures and consumer product that filters out from inland and into these towns can provide a distraction; but before they know it, they are the grey haired old bags and geezers that crowd the bingo halls and penny arcades. Whilst this all sounds very depressing, I do think the tale of the English seaside town, its rise and fall in the 20th century and beyond, is infinitely fascinating. This is a eerily beautiful vignette that illustrates this perfectly.

[@Scratchync]

I have ALWAYS loved your music. Always. When I was going through my divorce in the mid 90's, I listened to this cassette on repeat in my car driving alone with nowhere to go. These lyrics put me in and took me out of my dark place. My dark place is a good thing. She is still there listening to your music on repeat. One of my all time favorite artists❤. Right alongside The Cure, The Psychadelic Furs, New Order, etc.

This video was shot in the Southend of my teenage years. I worked a summer season in the Three Shells Kiosk which is shown and also in the record shop (Golden Disc) although after it was taken over by HMV. It perfectly sums up the sense of adolescent alienation from that provincial hometown. Now it just makes me feel nostalgic about the place though!

[@rickrose5377]

I worked in record stores in the 80s. I'm from Chicago, but I went to graduate school in Cambridge, MA, during which time I worked at a record store in Back Bay, Boston. Afterwards, I lived in Revere Beach for a year, which is as close as we have to the kind of down-at-the-heels, coastal resort town that Morrisey is singing about. AND I've been a vegetarian since about 1981, so this lovely song and vid checked off nearly every item on my list.

[@alm5966]

This song just makes we want to cry now. If the true meaning of nostalgia is the pain of an old wound then this song is the most nostalgic I can think of. Times probably weren't better 35 years ago but they seemed a lot better than now. At least when you're young there's hope and possibility but as you're worn down by life with nothing but a feeling of weltschmerz then I sure lament those happy days of the past . The only thing to be glad about in your 50's is that even a natural life means there's not an egregious amount of it left to endure. The state of the country and indeed the world is nothing to cheer about. Funnily enough, I live in the actual coastal town they forgot to close down. Come Armageddon, come Armageddon.

I saw him live recently, in a show that, inexplicably, was in this little town in Texas that I live near...I'd liked The Smiths, and what little of his solo work I'd heard, but, hey, somebody like this was playing here? I wasn't gonna miss that...It was in a beautiful old downtown theatre that had recently been restored and is far, far too underutilized...Great show...But he did this song...I may have heard it before, but that doesn't really matter, because this is one of those rare songs that even if you haven't ever heard it before, it feels like you have, and it feels like you always loved it, and it feels like it was always a part of your life...By the time he hits that first chorus, you are sold...
