First of the Gang to Die by Morrissey
“Woke up with this in my head, which is weird because it's pretty typical late-era Morrissey. There are a couple cute things about this song: one, it seems to be about an actual violent gang (songs about "the gang" never are!), and two, it's a nice, warm portrait of someone who isn't at all warm or nice. If I wrote songs I would love to write sideways jokes like "and the not very rich and the very poor" but I am not Morrissey.”

Great production and arrangement. Always makes me smile.
