For me it works as part of the SG album, but not so well on its own. And that's how I feel about the majority of the songs on Southpaw Grammar. I like the concept of the album: a bunch of raucous, fast-paced and heavy songs that are for most part an observation of brutality and violence in society, squeezed in between 2 rock symphonies (and the really worthwhile tracks of that album). I love to listen to Southpaw from beginning to end when I am in the mood for it though.
With the possible exception of Reader Meets Author, SG didn't contain single material. This one wasn't a strong single at all. It is almost heavy metal, not the stuff you'd come to expect from Morrissey. Certainly not after yesterday's song (Boxers)
