Cover Star: Billy Fury, english singer. In a 1984 interview Morrissey included Billy Fury’s singles in his brief collection of most treasured people and possessions. Morrissey has told that Billy “was discovered working on the docks in Liverpool, was dragged to London, styled and forced to make records. He always wanted to make very emotional overblown ballads but found himself in the midst of the popular arena. He despised almost every aspect of the music industry and was very, very ill from early age”.

Etchings on the single’s matrix: A- “THE RETURN OF THE SUBMISSIVE SOCIETY” (X) STARRING SHERIDAN WHITESIDE* / B-“ THE BIZARRE ORIENTAL VIBRATING PALM DEATH” (X) STARRING SHERIDAN WHITESIDE
*Sheridan Whiteside was one of Morrissey’s pseudonyms.

Last night I dreamt - The Smiths, 1987, Dec

Last night I dreamed that somebody loved me

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old – I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old – I KNOW
But it goes on

Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on
