THE MOZ SINGLES (Part 13)

The second single taken from Your Arsenal surely contains one of the laziest ever Morrissey lyrics:-

You’re the one for me, fatty
You’re the one I really, really love
And I will stay
Promise you’ll say
If  I’m in your way

All over Battersea
Some hope
and some despair

Repeated umpteen times with the occasional Buddy Holly impressions (a-hey) thrown in for padding.

It preceeded the album by three weeks and had me a bit worried about how it was all going to turn out. As it was, Fatty was one of the poorest tracks on the LP and was soon a candidate for frequent use of the skip button on the CD player.

Sometimes disappointing singles get rescued by decent tracks on the b-side, but sadly these efforts are quite forgettable.

mp3 : Morrissey – You’re The One For Me, Fatty
mp3 : Morrissey – Pashernate Love
mp3 : Morrissey – There Speaks A True Friend

At least the cover was a cracker…..another Linder Sterling photo taken at a concert in Chicago in 1991.

But my opinions weren’t shared by the general public….it was a single that climbed higher in the charts than any of those taken from Kill Uncle, hitting #19 in July 1992.

Happy Listening.
