section::::composition.









































musically, bernard sumner wrote the verse and johnny marr wrote the chorus. the lyrics, co-written by tennant with sumner, are a parody of marr's smiths partner morrissey, and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic (pet shop boys would further satirise this trend on their 1990 song "miserablism").
