Please score these Morrissey/Street tracks

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Surprised to see that Happy Lovers gets such high scores from some folks, at least some have given a higher score to Lifeguard, which is sensible.

[Was I ever any good]

It’s the 10 Year anniversary of ‘Mozarmy Meet’ at the Star & Garter this weekend (28-30 April), hosted by Julie Hamill, who will be joined by Stephen Street, and significant others (Mozarmy Meet; Street & Paresi). Therefore, it seems fitting, & timely, that we join in the spirit of the occasion, in our own inimitable & special way, here on Morrissey-Solo.

Stephen Street, aside from actually producing Viva Hate (1988), has co-written quite a few songs (32*) including Morrissey’s classics Suedehead, & Everyday Is Like Sunday, et al; so, to continue the theme of previous ‘co-write’ related threads (Jesse Tobias, Gustavo Manzur, Boz Boorer), which have enjoyed reasonable success, I thought it might be good, to not only join in the celebrations of the above 10th anniversary event, but to also score each one of Stephen's co-writes out of 10.

You know the drill by now, so let's go! For clarity, scores should range between 1-10.

Here they are in alphabetical order:

1. Alsatian Cousin.10
2. Angel Angel Down We Go Together.10
3. At Amber.5
4. Bengali In Platforms.10
5. Break Up The Family.6
6. Dial A Cliché.6
7. Disappointed.9
8. Everyday Is Like Sunday.10
9. Hairdresser On Fire.9
10. Happy Lovers At Last United.5
11. I Don’t Mind If You Forget Me.6
12. I Know Very Well How I Got My Name.5

30. Treat Me Like A Human Being.3
31. Will Never Marry.9

*I Don't Want Us To Finish remains hidden/unreleased/unavailable.

NB: If I give you a 'Like' or 'Informative' this indicates I've captured your score.

Spoiler: P.S.

I guess some folks were expecting Boz phase 2; Ha-ha!!, some gentle trickery in play; I did put a few 'clooz' out & about, so well done if you followed the trail, joined the dots, & came up with the correct answer.

After a flurry of recent votes, some minor gains, some minor losses, meaning the top 5 scores range from:

1st: 9.49
5th: 9.14

...meaning just 0.35 separates the top 5. As tight as you can get, or might expect.

P.S. Journalists Who Lie is not considered a threat at this time...

How do you think Whyte will compare?
