Send Ringtones to Cell

At the record company meeting
On their hands a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed

    The irony of this song, Morrisey is forever reissuing albums/singles.

    "I touched you at the soundcheck, you had no real way of knowing in my heart I begged "Take me with you... I don't care where you're going..." My God, this is exactly how I felt when I met my biggest idol...[2]

    The irony of this song is a bit unfortunate, but they can never taint you in my eyes!

    I never realized the line "What makes most people feel happy leads us headlong into harm" - once more I feel understood by Morrissey.

    You feel "deceived???" You're an idiot.

    Reissue, Repackage! These words must continue to haunt Morrissey to this day. There's more best-ofs, compilations and box sets than there were original albums.
