That is so true it is almost scary and the young ones here will know that one day.

Low in High School sort of means you're not doing as well as you should be, doesn't it? And possibly you are depressed at the same time.

Well big said this
"Morrissey’s talent for combining political statements and melodies is more prevalent than ever on Low in High-School, capturing the zeitgeist of an ever-changing world,”
So I'm guessing more songs in the vein of world peace subject wise with maybe an exception or two which would make sense given that's where his headspace seems to be these days
Could it not be about being low in some High-School of any kind?
School is about learning.
High-School of Life? Of learning? Of living or anyother all implying word to Life?
It could be tragic, dramatic, but funny too as in a way many Moz songs are.
It could be about himself but he might also be projecting and empathize with a certain other person. Or persons.
I always assumed many of his songs didn't have to be exclusively about himself but trying to get in the inner world of other people and to express them. As in an artistic goal.
Don't know why we can't speculate here as long as it is just that.
All you foreigners are just upset because he used a classic American term like "high school". When will you people wake up. Steve is as American as apple pie, baseball, and roastin' marshmallows on the beach.
I reckon isn't everyone in Sweden considered white trash? Like all the hicks in the South of the USA, and the Midwest that are descendants of Swedish immigrants who have last names like Olafson and Grugenson?

In Sweden white trash criminals tend to add LHS online which means "Livets Hårda Skola" instead of what schools they went to. If you translate it as it is it means the tough school of life which stands for life lessons learned living a thug life.
I only know two singers that write lyrics that keep people guessing and they are Morrissey and Jocke Berg of KENT. The ability to write in that way is a gift.

It would be cheesy if Alice Cooper changed the title of the song every year and as long as he still likes to sing it it's fine. He had his ups and downs and I don't like all stages of his career but he can still perform and that's one of the songs his fans want to hear. I think he has always been about taking on another character while performing anyway and on a good night he probably is eighteen and so is the audience.I think what irks me, is that many of us graduate high school, and don't ever really think of it again. I know I had precisely zero interest in attending any of my reunions. I kept the ones I wanted to, and left the rest behind. So when a man of nearly 60 announces an album with a title so silly, it makes me roll my eyes. I rolled my eyes over Staircase as well, and the attempt at writing from a college aged girl's perspective.
It's kind of the same feeling I got when I caught Alice Cooper on television a few months back and he was singing "I'm 18 and I like it."
No, sorry, friend. You're much closer to the grave than 18.
It's the seven months and twenty-seven days that really pains you."The first 20 years are the longest half of your life, no matter how long you might live.” Robert Southey
School of hard knocks probably sums it up better for those americans in NY caps busy with their BBQ and shit.
Morrissey did once say, "I lie a lot. It's really useful."
Why don't you know enough?
