Hey bikubesong. Yes, I like Antony a lot! I'm sorry though, I can't help you since I haven't got any info about it...Is it official? Is it on their websites? Patience, friend :)

NOOOOOOO!!!

Wolve, I was starting to like you........

I'll defend him/them (???) all the way on this one.

Taken from a 'Smiths' website, that we all know and love.....


This haunting tune is often interpreted as referring to child abuse, and it's easy to see why : "I once had a child", "Although you're only three", "you're mine", "together we lie", and the general tone of threatening care. Of course, it's only an interpretation as it could very well be entirely innocent.
Even if that is intended, and there's little doubt that Morrissey could miss the meaning, it's hardly immoral (assuming you accept such a thing as morality anyway) : a song about a situation doesn't condone the situation. The whole child-abuse fiasco is just patently ridiculous; no matter how "dodgy" the lyrics may be in places, it has no bearing on Morrissey's or the group's opinions.
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle is actually one of the first songs that Morrissey & Marr penned. It was played at The Smiths' first rehearsal session with Steve Pomfret, the guitarist who first introduced Morrissey to Johnny.
 
Look, honey, that discussion has been started and almost never ended for like a billion times.
In my opinion, M. handles the subject of child abuse. Though, when I heard one quote of Morrissey: "One remains a child till he gets into a relation with another one" I began to believe it was a love song as well. But lyrics like "and your mother, she just never knew etc" and " you're only three" really got it confusing again. The way Morrissey describes this whole situation, and you can't lie: he romantacizes it, makes you have another opinion upon this abuse. I'm still not sure about what it really is, but the words Morrissey uses and how he describes things in that song are really touching and moving. I sometimes feel sorry for liking it.
But hey, andy, that's what I feel when I listen to it. The greatness to Morrissey songs: so many interprations: everybody gets his share.
