Easily the stand out track from new album "You Are The Quarry", this song has the classic Morrissey sound.

14. Which song beginning with the letter N does the following lyric come from: "I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen. Every sensible child will know what this means."

Answer: Nowhere Fast

Another "Meat Is Murder" track. Johnny Marr's guitar work throughout it top-drawer.

Answer: The Operation

I have to admit that "Southpaw Grammar" is not the best album in the world, but this is an excellent tune.
16. Which song beginning with the letter P does the following lyric come from: "You just haven't earned it yet, baby."

A fantastic tune from the "Strangeways, Here We Come" album, venting Morrissey's obvious anger at the way record companies "market" their stars.

22. Which song beginning with the letter U does the following lyric come from: "You're evil, and you lie, and if you should die, I may feel slightly sad but I won't cry."

Typical Morrissey venom in the lyrics. I don't know who his poison is aimed at but it makes for a great song.
