Veronica is a prostitute in this one. The game is older than time. Go and visit a prostitute before it's too late. Have an exciting day instead of them all being the same. Today could be your last chance. so slide her calling card into your pocket and go and ring her top bell hard (the bell to her apartment first) and then, well you know, her other more exciting top bell..... Veronica could also be trans or a gay man, or anyone non-binary of course. Playing harmonica is also an interesting euphemism by the way!
Really rooting for the guy in the crowd that hopes it will be a hit. I feel like he's hanging on by a thread as he mentioned his wish three times. So obviously this is important to him. Good luck random fan. I hope it's a hit too.
I am SO GLAD Alain is back!! He has been deeply missed. I hope they are writing together again also. He’s great at adding those backing vocals and lovely melodies!
This is so amazing he has not lost a step the energy of this song reminds me of his days with the Smiths. He is the last real lyrical poet alive today. He is a poetic genius and keeps proving to the world what real music is .he has neither sold out and this new single already sounds amazing.
I, I, I, I, I am Veronica The game I play is older than America There's a tiny spot allocated each of us So why should each day be exactly the same? This is your last chance This is your last chance So slide me into your pocket now And press your finger hard On the top bell, top bell Press your finger hard On the top bell, top bell Dolphins swim to rescue you Schools of fish will keep your float abloat Owls bow their learned brow So slide me into your pocket now I, I, I, I, I am Veronica The game I play is older than America The tiny spot allocated each of us So make your mark And now you be the spark This could be your last chance This could be your very last go So slide me into your pocket now And press your finger hard On the top bell, the top bell Press your finger hard On the top bell Dolphins swim to rescue you Schools of fish will keep your float abloat Owls bow their learned brow So slide me into your pocket now I, I, I, I, I am Veronica The game I play is older than America I, I, I, I, I am Veronica I can also play harmonica
@@eliotguerra6783 According to people on the Moz forums, it might refer to how the top floor used to be where prostitutes were, so you rang the top bell for them. Which ties into the 'older than America' line as well with prostitution being the oldest profession.
Veronica sounds fantastic. So good to see Alain playing again and doing a spot-on backup vocal. He and Morrissey sound so so good together. Can’t wait to hear the whole new album~ Rob/Boston
Can't get bonfire of teenagers on Spotify. ! Won't he conform ?! Good for him xx my daughter bought me a ticket to go see him in 2 weeks . At 15 my first ever gig was at Doncaster dome ....and 31 years later at 46 I am returning to the same venue . Jus out of hospital after an op ill be recovered by then and I cannot wait xx
He never sold out could have had lots of plastic surgery but didn’t no matter what anyone says he has been true to himself and l respect him for it he has aged gracefully unlike some.
At 20 seconds into the song I know I can say absolutely confidently this is going to be a hit. I've been a fan of 30 plus years, through snoozers and boozers and bangers, and this is destined to be a big one. Morrissey has come with us into the inversion. I can't be thankful enough for that. You left these go ahead and tear down his posters. Show us all your rage so that we can buy more tickets to his shows and actually buy his album which we will. And we will laugh at you as we do it. Morrissey, as you always have, wear their hatred as a badge of honor. Because that's what it is and you deserve their hatred. and our love.
Yes, he seems to be returning to his former brilliance and maybe this is coinciding with Alain Whyte being back among the fold. Moz said that the music Alain has given him is "fantastic ", that maybe saved for the album after Bonfire... so Moz says. Hope this is a hit though it deserves to be!
