For me it is one of the weakest songs on the album, I could definitely remove it for one of the b-sides such as Friday Mourning
Such a weak effort. It made me question Morrissey's taste and judgement on this album, especially after he had seven years to work on quality stuff. I suppose we can always hearken back to those heady days of Dagenham Dave for lyrical sophistication.
Come on everybody now -
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave

Clearly. Does the last part mean then that America will be better off because he's with it now?
"For haven't you me with you now?"
This part alone is so great that it cancels out the repetitiveness of the chorusThat's the point of Dagenham though - yearning to be uncomplicated.
Also it's got my name in it, so is clearly fabulous.
And he's hot.

The title is a play on a Wilde quote as well I think
What is he even saying? The "steely blue eyes" part refers to Bush, no?
But who is he offering his heart to? The American people?
Yes, as in last week: "That's not who we are". Well OK, but it kind of is.When I first heard this thing, it was the first new Moz song I'd heard since the Maladjusted stuff.
I remember I'd been waitin' for weeks for the Quarry record to come out and it was pretty excitin' at the time.
Always gonna think fondly of this thing just for that reason alone.
When those drums came on it was kinda different for a Moz song and then he starts singin' "America..."
The songs makes me think of how America always acts like it's about one thing, but seems to always do
and be the exact opposite.
Even when the reality of America don't fit the narrative of America, people still go on defendin' the narrative,
so that they can keep believin' in the dream of America.
No he doesn't. Woke are for open borders, apologising for Islamic extremism and multiculturalism to the point of destroying the very nation it lives in. I think you'll find Morrissey doesn't not subscribe to any of that nonsense. I think he secretly cringes that he wrote this song.Morrissey does agree with everything 'woke' except hounding randoms on Twitter because they said something stupid.

It seems, as per usual, that you have no idea what you're talking about. Go hug a cop, clown.No he doesn't.
