Morrissey: The Last Of The Famous International Playboys (1989)

Untitled
Dear hero imprisoned
With all the new crimes that you are perfecting
Oh, I can't help quoting you
Because everything that you said rings true
And now in my cell
(well, I followed you)
And here's a list of who I slew

The Last Of The Famous International Playboys is probably my favourite Morrissey tune. Side b contains Lucky Lisp and Michaels [sic] Bones. I find it surprising that such a strong track never made it onto a studio record, but, instead, was collected on Bona Drag. By the way, Bona Drag is a fine compilation.
