The Headmaster Ritual

I don't see that.<br /> <br /> One thing I have considered (concerning the last verse) is that it might be discussing sexual abuse by teachers alongside physical abuse.<br /> <br /> I'm not convinced that was the intention, only that I have considered the possibility... but that there is no intention of being overtly "sexual" as much as disturbing and perverse... because, even if you can easily make sexual associations with "He does the military two step down the nape of my neck", it's literally talking about forced sex/sexuality (in other words, rape and punishment/derision to keep a child silent about it).<br /> <br /> The part about them being "spineless bastards", to me, lends creedance to the theory as it's a pretty good way to describe most abusers of children who attempt to hide it by threatening their victims... Still, I am not confident enough in that theory to say I think it's totally accurate.<br /> <br /> ...........and I'm pretty sure Moz isn't that into BDSM and talking about his sexual escapades, or at least not discussing them in his writing... (responding to genxdude91's ridonkulous suggestion).

@nagyovafan it is what it is to you

@nagyovafan won't back you up because you seem like a fan that finds anything Morrissey does or says as feeding you desires

@nagyovafan No, i was a pupil at the school (although not at the same time as Morrissey) it was physical abuse, i never came across (Or heard of any) any sexual abuse in the 5 years i was a pupil at St Marys...Having said that the daily physical abuse was enough!
