I've been singing The Smiths for days.

I have to admit, when I was younger I found Morrissey a tad depressing, but recently I've developed an affection for his lyrical genius.

What I like about his songs is that they're romantic without having to resort to selling a woolly fairy tale. They talk about what life (and love) are really like.  I think my favourite lyric is from 'There Is A Light & It Never Goes Out':

'And if a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.'

It's earthly, it's real & if I'm frank, it sweeps me off my feet better than Edward Cullen ever could.

So here's to you, Morrissey, you bloody genius.
