The Smiths' trademark. The music can sound playful and fruity, almost like you could use it in a commercial, and the lyrics are often dark and always thoughtful. I think that a lot of the lyrics are considered to be darker than they actually are. I think Morrissey's very dark humor gets lost when what people want to hear is a depressing song. This song is, musically, pretty straightforward but they are all stellar musicians. It's difficult to be a guitar player or a bass guitar player and not respect this band.

You made a great comment about this strange thing that always rounded The Smiths: the music made by Marr, Joyce and Rourke and the lyrics written by Morrissey. You pointed it out very wisely. At the same time you get this vibrant music, you get a slap in your face when you listen to the lyrics. Morrissey, the lyricist, said that he really had the sense that part of the band didn't undestand what he was singing about. Mike Joyce, the drummer, during an interview said: "Of course we were concerned about him [Morrissey]. We all [in the band] knew that he was talking about something very personal. We obviously did not discuss lyrics' content with him. It was a place he surely did not want us to join."

I listened to the Your Arsenal album and I realized that a lot of the weepy stuff is just a clever bit of dark humor. I almost reluctantly became a fan. How could you not?!

As someone who grew up bi in South Carolina through the late 1970's, early 80's this song hit me like a ton of bricks. The first time I heard it on the radio I had to pull over until the shaking died down enough for me to drive safely again. Morrisey's lyrics speak directly to the sense of cultural and religious oppression and suppression that LGBT youth were experiencing at the time, no support, no safety net. The light that never goes out is HOPE. Hope for change, hope that people won't turn away, hope that they won't turn you out on the street. Unfortunately that light did die for way too many and they extinguished their own peculiar light either directly or through self-destructive behavior.

Exactly, The Smiths get respect because they defy those expectations that you and a lot of people have who like radio friendly mainstream music....the music paints a picture that goes totally against what Morrissey (lead singer) writes and sings about. I've always found that exciting about them, personally. They play with irony, they aren't afraid of expressing emotions that most people find inappropriate and despite their bland, bookish appearance (at least in their early days), they always had that post punk attitude of not giving two shits about people's perceptions of them. 😏✌✌

Oh dear. I saw them in concert at Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1983. Wonderful music that endures. You have to understand the movement around The Smiths at the time. We all aspired to the Morrissey haircut, jeans etc. They were the IN band along with New Order, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen. The other groups of teenagers followed Spandau Ballet, wham and Tears for Fears. It was the divide between following commercial bands or hip independent ones.

The Smiths were a band at a very unique time in the early eighties . Janko Pop is the definition. Their songs are all different. The reasons for writing lyrics are a mystery . Usually there is an inspiration or simply a story to tell. Sometimes someone’s else’s story . This band struck a chord with a good pairing of musicians. The band is REM is similar to story telling with deep lyrics …the difference is the Smiths gave Johnny Marr. The greatest rythum quitarist of all time . The Smiths recorded some amazing dance tunes …the bass playing and Marr are superior . Trying to analyze lyrics is up to the listener. I’ve written 80 recorded songs . So don’t try to over analyze what someone writes …we just absolutely have a great time telling stories and making things up ..words are a beautiful thing. A writer finds the list creative words that exists on their conscience and go with it . It’s fun !!! Don’t be sad !!

I'm from Brazil and I didn't know english during my childhood (which was during the 90's, so no google translator) I heard a lot of the Smiths on the radio and I always felt it was happy and sad at the same time. I had no idea what the lyrics were about, but I could feel what it was about. I think that is the beauty of it.

Nice commentary, You are right that this and many Smiths songs have a combo of upbeat music and downbeat lyrics.

my #1 favorite Smiths song. Johnny Marr is a musical genius.

If you only knew Morrissey... now listen to "How Soon Is Now".
