I've mentioned before that time has dimmed my enthusiasm for the Smiths somewhat but I do still enjoy a lot of their songs, to varying degrees. This one was always at the top of my list and still is. It appeared on their debut album and I fell in absolute, aching love with it from first listen. To this day I still think it ranks as not only the Smiths' most sublime moment but one of the most gorgeous songs ever written by anyone ever. Really, it is that special.
I know a lot people think it's about paedophilia, but Morrissey always denied that and he would know, wouldn't he?
