Fascism.
The song is about Fascism and how it's nasty angry claws take hold of countries which lead them down a path of destruction and ruin.

Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan because they went down this disastrous path recently.

It was a prophetic warning in 2007 towards us, the usa, which creeps slower and slower towards the ruinous path of fascism. An ideology without love, compassion, and empathy that feels the need to "erase larger problems".

For me it's all about lad culture in the workplace and sexism against women. Here are my thoughts broken down...

It's happy hour again I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
It's happy hour again I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them

And they're happy it's a lovely place to be Happy that the fire is real, the barman is a she

And they're happy it's a lovely place to be Happy that the fire is real, the barman is a she
it's a traditional pub with a female barmaid who probably smiles at all the 1980s sexist banter to make them feel good & keep buying...
>
Where the haircuts smile and the meaning of style Is a night out with the boss where you win, or you lose And it's them who choose and if you don't win then you've lost What a good place to be
>
Don't believe her 'Cause they speak a different language And it's never really happened to me (it's happy hour again) Don't believe her, oh no 'Cause it's never really happened to me
>
It's another night out with the boss Following in footsteps overgrown with moss
>
And he tells me that women grow on trees And if you catch them right, they will land upon their knees
>
Where they open all their wallets, and they close all their minds And they love to buy you all a drink, and then we ask all the questions And you take all your clothes off and go back to the kitchen sink What a good place to be

I don't think this song is about Angie because she had her own car and did the driving, but since reading Set the Boy Free by Johnny Marr, some of the lyrics reminded me of Marr's descriptions of their relationship. "And she's saying how she never chose you." Marr said that upon seeing her he decided that he was going to marry her, and basically targeted her, and staked her out when she was walking to school. "So how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?" Marr's descriptions revealed some co-dependency,...

"And she's saying how she never chose you." Marr said that upon seeing her he decided that he was going to marry her, and basically targeted her, and staked her out when she was walking to school. "So how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?" Marr's descriptions revealed some co-dependency, like how her parents weren't pleased when they moved in together, but knew they had to be together. "So how did I end up attached to this person when his sense of humor gets gradually worser?" Marr went through some substance abuse issues, drove recklessly, and sometimes laughed uncontrollably. He revealed that Morrissey and Angie had formed their own friendship. Maybe Morrissey wrote this song as a jab at Marr because of the way The Smiths disbanded (because of their own failure to communicate.)
Come along with me now cause there are things I've been dying to tell you - the beginning of the conversation that leads to seperation

The best of the worst things that you never needed to know - trying to let them off as painless as possible

This is the kind of comedy where no one's laughing, cause it's hard to - it begins to feel like a cruel joke, slowly sinking in

I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk with my fist in a broken mirror - their heart is crushed and life is shattered,...
I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk with my fist in a broken mirror - their heart is crushed and life is shattered, like the mirror
There's a party nearby, I can hear laughter in the distance and it all comes clear - love can have many forms, and they are beginning to realize this
Sounds too simple, love is the only answer everything else is just a train wreck - though they are reflecting on the various forms of love, they are still in pain
I'm gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined - this begins the healing process, introspective and growing
You might ask me 'aren't you dead inside and so damn tired' I'll say I have no idea, I'm not sleeping until after the dying is over - they are determined to mature and learn life's lessons
I can hear laughter in the distance and it all comes clear - they have fully realized that love and life have many possibilities
Love is the only answer, when love's a train wreck, you're a mistake - they have learned that though love is the answer, it can be false, and are able to tell when love is a mistake
definitely reminds me of future legend by bowie. the dystopian, droning sound is very similar, plus both were inspired by 1984. and both good songs!

Perhaps he was in love with a promiscuous girl. OR he is feeling jealous of his love interest's past partner; but reassuring himself it's all good. Great tune.

Listening to this song while in the dark with headphones on is a AMAZING experience. This song takes you out of your body, it wraps a rope around your soul and it slowly pulls you out, with each note and each chord and at its climax, LIFTS you up in this beautiful musical place (if you have a little fantasy in mind ;)) and it lets you enjoy every moment of every riff and keeps you there until it slowly lets you fall back while playing slowly and steadily, you can enjoy that after-feeling of how great that one part...
Listening to this song while in the dark with headphones on is a AMAZING experience. This song takes you out of your body, it wraps a rope around your soul and it slowly pulls you out, with each note and each chord and at its climax, LIFTS you up in this beautiful musical place (if you have a little fantasy in mind ;)) and it lets you enjoy every moment of every riff and keeps you there until it slowly lets you fall back while playing slowly and steadily, you can enjoy that after-feeling of how great that one part of the song actually was, but then, it was all a fuelling up, because then you get surprised by THIS SECOND PULL OUT OF YOUR BODY, it lets you have a little more taste of that truly amazing guitar playing, a few more seconds in that different place you can float in, just listening and feel the music, then again gives you time to fall down, back in the flesh and let’s you meet up with reality and gives you a perfect sparkly-ending of the little fantasy land you just exited…that’s why i love this song so fcking much
I have always thought that it was referred to the very last trip of a tall sail commercial vessel to be put out of service by deliberate sinking. The Captain is crying letting his Ship go, the Crew cry for the (temporary) end of a love-hate bonding with that Ship.

am I the only one who when I heard the title I immediately thought vampires? Since San Fransisco is known for it vampires, and I thought he would talk about what people are saying in San Fran about vampires.
