One nice thing about Morrissey is that, by this stage, you know he really means what he's saying. He's not just doing it to impress people, he really is that crazily intense and self-absorbed...
@thesunneversets I think he's always seemed like that, especially with overly-cathartic songs like this. He wanted to make a spectacle of his music whether or not people paid attention to it.

@thesunneversets Agreed, and they're so direct without losing their poetic touch. Every line cuts like a knife.
