i'll just go on record here as saying that i'm surprised this is the actual album cover. i thought it was just some joker's goof and some at least sort of cool cover would eventually be revealed. sort of lame. just my thoughts though, maybe some people like it, so that's cool.
i was really disappointed in this song when i first heard it and had low hopes for the album, but it's grown on me so much in the last couple weeks. love it, and love the flute. yes, the flute.
No, they weren’t all happy days, like the time Pinky Tuscadero crashed her motorcycle, or the night I lost all my money to those card sharks and my dad Tom Bosley had to get it back.
strangely (ha ha) enough, this was the first smiths record i got. someone had put 'girlfriend in a coma' on a mixtape for me, and as i was just getting into the cure and echo and the bunnymen at the time, i found it suitably sad and joyful simultaneously. though 'the queen is dead' is now easily my favorite by them, i still hold a soft spot for this album.
