His new album is superb. I am so pleased. I used to be a big morrisey fan years ago before he went Stateside. The Smith's early albums were the soundtrack to my Teenage years.....I loved them, they spoke to me of my Town and my life in Rain soaked Manchester...."This humdrum town" The places he sang about were the places where my mother grew up.
I was so glad when he returned to the scene and was still damned good. Theres a really nice song on their called "First of the Gang to Die" in which you can really hear the Mancunian in him *smiles* When the first of the gang to get a gun, is also the first of the gang to die he is "The first lost lad to go under the sod" Thats such a manc way to phrase it, to call him a lost lad
