The Smiths
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

THE REVIEW

Every time I listen to it, it's like the first time.
This is my favorite song by the Smiths, and what I love is the spontaneity of Moz's admission of sadness:

Driving in your car, I never want to go home,
because I haven't got one... anymore.

I like it when in the lyrics the car is used as a means to escape from troubles and melancholy, just like in another song I love, which is The Next Life by Suede:

Stars in our own car, we can drive away from here.

It's not just a car ride.

It's the attempt to escape, to get in and lock the doors.
Having the courage to say: take me away, anywhere you want, but away from here.

And yes, it's courageous to ask for help sometimes.

Here Morrissey, with his usual dose of irony, also adds a:

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

There isn't a single thing I dislike about this song.
I love the chords, the ending with Steven repeating:

There is a light that never goes out.

It gave me so much with just one phrase and 4 chords.
