Just listen to that guitar! It lives, breathes and lends magnificent identity to the song. I think that riff is probably the best thing Johnny Marr ever did, I don't think he has done anything since which even comes near. I still remember the Melody Maker review of that song: "The string's muted strains conjure wistful signs that bridge the schism between crass sentimentality and callous detachment." (Of course, in these wikilies days, remembering such beautiful phrasing is rendered worthless.) The lyrics may certainly be overblown 80s miserabilist but…

As a college radio dj during the late 80's,It was a law to play the Smiths.I still find it funny his current largest fan demographic is young,straight Hispanic men. Trevor,who thinks as far as MST3000 goes, Joel was Dave,and Mike was not evne Sammy Hagar,but Gary Cherone.

Many things, including some times very funny, but not particularly depressing, but then I have limited knowledge of his post Smiths existance.
