09) “Satan Rejected My Soul”
Morrissey tackles the theme of his ultimate resting place w/ the wit and style that were missing from his other post-mortality tale, “There’s a Place In Hell for Me and My Friends.” It is an uproarious, catchy piece of music, with a wonderfully hilarious lyric to boot. The Smiths/Morrissey fan site It May All End Tomorrow says it best: “I love these lyrics – Morrissey carting his soul around on a wheelbarrow in a vain attempt to get someone to take it. The ultimate snub – he won’t even be given an afterlife.”
Den Song liebe ich extrem. Der etwas verbohrte Anfang, und dann kommt eine schön quietschige Melodie, und Morrissey ist in Topform:
„…satan…as low as he goes/never quite goes this low“.
