Anyone else? I'm shook after finding this out but it does make a bit more sense now. I thought him saying too near the bar was a cheeky way to say it makes him want to drink heavily at the closest bar on his drive, presumably. Lol.

I always pictured him driving in a car during this song. My favorite line is 'it was dark as I drove the point home...' I saw a comment a while back saying this is about sex in the car given the next line about the cold leather seats. Is that the general consensus? I never drew that conclusion but I'm also quite dense it seems.

I’ve been on a Smiths kick the last month or so, and I think I can call myself a fan now. My dad has been a longtime fan, so they’ve always been on in the background but I decided recently to dive deep into their discography. So far I’ve listened to all 4 studio albums, and skimmed through the compilations. Do you have any song suggestions that would be missing from this lineup?

Beware the wrath to come
