What are you talking about? Morrissey did the whole "I'm so sensitive and tortured" thing for years, and are you saying that the male gender are completely incapable of showing and relating to any kind of emotion?
Is this one of those things I would only "get" if I were a woman? Because all I hear is a guy taking one of the great songs of all time and just taking a whiny little crap on it. Why doesn't he just get an "I'm so sensitive and tortured" tattoo on his forehead? He and that Counting Crows singer could go to the tattoo parlor together and comfort each other about how much pain there is in their lives.
@leeds120 Well, it took me a year to respond to this so I don't imagine you care, but, no, I'm not saying anything like that. Morrissey wrote the song--the truth of his experience is in the lyrics and it has a lot more to say than just "I'm sensitive and tortured." The only thing this guy adds (in my opinion) is whininess. To me it just sounds like a straight guy trying to get laid--that's why I introduced the gender comment.
