And as you can "feel" in that song and see in Frankly Mr. Shankly and Bigmouth Strikes Again, there's a certain "bitter" humour to the smiths, not only depressive themes. Songs with relatively sad lyrics can also be very "tongue in cheek".
And yeah, i think a lot of people identify with what the songs are about, mainly teenagers and tortured souls like myself xD
Btw...The Boy With The Torn In His Side :O
yeah, i know, it's not like he is "performing" the song, it's like he's really feeling it, that's what i love about the smiths, and yes, there's not only depressive lyrics, i love how he puts a lot of (like you said) bitter irony on them. And i'm not a teenager but i am in fact, as you say, a tortured soul, haha so i completely understand where you are coming from.
