Artist: Morrissey
Song: Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference
Album: Interesting Drug (ep, 1989), Bona Drag (1990)
Interesting Drug was the fourth solo single released by Morrissey.
Bona Drag is a compilation album by Morrissey released on October 25, 1990. The album features an array of Morrissey's most popular songs from his early solo career, most of which had not been released on any previous album. The album name meaning nice outfit is an example of the subculture slang Polari explored further on the album's first track "Piccadilly Palare". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 06/12/2000.
One of the less well-liked B-sides from Morrissey's first few solo singles, it stands up as a good tune backed by ironic and slightly bizarre lyrics.
Live, Morrissey turned a line on its head, proclaiming "How I love all of the complicated things of life". He has also never sung the final amusing verse at a live performance.
This song is probably referring to the incident where the British police "investigated" Morrissey in the wake of "Margaret On The Guillotine".
Such a little thing
But the difference it made was grave
There you go
Wielding a bicycle chain
Oh why won't you change?
Change and be nicer?
Such a little thing
A gentle tone of kindness
Or written words on paper - can you write?
How I love all of
The very simple things of life
(God's good air)
How I love all of
The very simple things of life
Such a little thing
A fumbling politeness
Oh the difference saved me
Wielding a bicycle chain
Why won't you change?
"I WILL NOT CHANGE
AND I WILL NOT BE NICE"
Most people keep their brains
Between their legs
(Don't you find?)
Leave me alone, I was only singing
Leave me alone because I
Was only singing
Leave me alone, I was only singing
Leave me alone
You have just proved again
MOST PEOPLE KEEP THEIR BRAINS
BETWEEN THEIR LEGS
