Morrissey.

I've had the following song stuck in my head for the past two days. And I haven't even listened to it in weeks (I was listening to his latest album, I guess something must have reminded me of it...)

THE LAST OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS

Dear hero imprisoned
with all the new crimes that you are perfecting

[especially this upcoming part has been playing over and over in my head]

oh I can't help quoting you
because everything that you said rings true
and now in my cell
(well, I followed you)
and here's a list of who I slew
Reggie Kray - do you know my name?
don't say you don't
please say you do, I am:
the last of the famous
international playboys
the last of the famous
international playboys
and now in my cell
(well, I loved you)
every man with a job to do
Ronnie Kray - do you know my face?
don't say you don't
please say you do, I am:
the last of the famous
international playboys
the last of the famous
international playboys
In our lifetime those who kill
the newsworld hands them stardom
and these are the ways
on which I was raised
but I never wanted to kill
I AM NOT NATURALLY EVIL
such things I do
just to make myself more attractive to you
HAVE I FAILED?

So good. And I never even considered this one to be one of his catchier ones. But I guess it has to be, since I can't stop hearing it. And I'm sure all of one of you out there in the reading audience has heard it, but I'd recommend it to everyone, for every occasion. I guess you can do that download thing, or whatever it is you kids do nowadays (off the album Bona Drag).
