Just been thinking about that song.
Is it slightly derogatory (about women) or do we think
he had a particular situation in mind when he wrote it.
I wonder if he read a news article or was watching a BBC
drama that inspired him?
It's so melancholy that line " Please don't worry, there'll be no fuss.....She was nobody's nothing...."
There's a theory in the Len Brown book Meetings With Morrissey that the song might be about Jo Slee (his old assistant). A metaphor for her being frozen out by new management or something. I think Slee herself said that she thought it was aimed at her as it was around the time she was shunned.
