In an interview Morrissey was asked 'which is your absolute favourite song? Do you have one?'
Moz:"It’s different songs every day. I always listen to music and to list just one song, among the two hundred foremost that make me cry, would be an impossibility. And the fact that they make me cry doesn’t necessarily have to imply that they have dramatic, tragic lyrics. They just touch me in a way that nothing else in the world could. Could you, offhand, name the two or three best singles ever recorded, yourself?"

Two years ago, this man who yearns for surprises got the surprise of his life. He fell in love. He didn't expect to. Love crept up behind him just when he'd got used to the idea that it would never happen. "Well it never had for such a long time." Then he was smitten. Gloriously, madly, feverishly smitten. Morrissey in love must be a terrible thing. Not at all, he says. "I'm delightful in love. I am excellent at everything, cooking, conversation, planning, eliminating..." Rivals? I stupidly ask. "Friends," he responds.
He doesn't talk about celibacy anymore. "Can't think why I ever did. It's incredibly boring." It wasn't as if he didn't like sex. "I just didn't have it." The relationship ended recently without his wanting it to. The other person stopped loving him, "as they do", and broke his heart. But he has got used to consoling himself, he says. So he likes to think, if it can happen once, it can happen again. "That's what a priest told me anyway."
