The Smiths - Cemetry Gates

I'll admit it, I was one of those sad obsessive Smiths fans in the mid-1980s...but I have a much lower tolerance threshold for them now. Maybe it's my dislike for nearly all of Morrissey's solo work, or for his persona, or maybe it's just that I'm older now and some of the lyrics which struck me as unbelievably profound when I was 15 now just seem kind of silly. I still like a lot of their songs, don't get me wrong, but I'm a bit more discerning about it, let's say.

Here's one of the ones that has stood the test of time.
