before i opened this thread i thought 'ooOo, a morrissey song. maybe i should go through this systematically and do a really useful crit, analysing each stanza seperately'... **** that. its a monster.

when i read it i really got a feel for the tune, although some of the lines like

and every good thing that you knew never mattered anyway

took a few reads to fit this.

And If I could think of anything to say I guess I wouldn't be
Speechless. Standing. Waiting.
It's only 11 but it feels like 3.
And it's cold enough to warrant a reason to leave.

And if I could think of anything to feel I guess I wouldn't be
Useless. Listen. Nothing.
It's half past 2 but it feels like 3.
Why do bad things always happen to me?


these were great. really like the structure. very smithesque.

I remind you to call me guess I shouldn't have spoken
this was another line that really got me. i have no idea why really (helpful) just liked it a lot. although stick a comma in there for good measure.

overall a lot of the ideas were a little less original than i would hope to see from you, but i can deal with that.

Ooo some more like

And as my good life fades, its taken away
At least I never had the decency to care anyway


Mmm, sweeeeeeeeeeeeet words.

oh and starting a song with and is always good fun.

overall a 7.5/10 good job
