  General Comment:Oh come on people...listen to the song!
  
  It's about a handsome young man who's hiding out from the cops/state and has hooked up with a fat chick that does all the shopping and stuff. He's hiding indoors while she goes outside to do the daily activities.....
  "you're the one for me fatty, just promise that you'll never ever give me away"

    Thanks for explaing the one word I did not understand:) Love the artist. Like this cutsie song. Hopefully one day some special guy will be at least thinking this song about me. (I would prefer not to actually HEAR him sing it to me:). There is always hope when you see one really good looking partner (male or female) with a homely partner...and you know it must be love :)

  General Comment:I don't care why he wrote it... It means something very special to me. I'm fat and I love my body very much. Many boys can't accept me for who I am, however. My boyfriend sent me this song and I cried so hard because all I ever wanted was someone to accept that I'm fat and there's nothing wrong with it. I think I've found that person and I love him so much.

  General Comment:It reminds me of that Shakespeare Sonnet 130. The idea of "Yes, you are imperfect, but I love you anyway". Aww sweet.

  General Comment:This is another lovely love song I think, and I can imagine it being sung with joy by chubby couples up and down the land!
  
  It's about loving people despite their flaws, which is a lovely sentiment. I also like the black humour of 'Promise you'll say if I'm ever in your way' - i.e. if you can't get your fat frame past me!
  
  No idea about the Battersea lines though, other than it being a place in South London obviously.
  
  Where the hell did he get his vocal style from? The 'a-heeeeeeey' bits here actually remind me of Buddy Holly a bit, i.e.
  
  "Everyday, it's a gettin' closer, going faster than a rollercoaster, Love like yours will surely come my--h-waay-a-haay-a-hay-hay"

  General Comment:also, i really don't think this has anything to do with "some girls are bigger than others". "Some girls" is about girls with big knockers, which is much more plausible for Morrissey to just have discovered.
  
  Also, from a live performance of "Some girls":
  
  on the shop floor, there's a calendar
  as obvious as snow
  as if we didn't know
  
  which hints at porno magazines, which contains girls with... you guessed it.

  General Comment:I don't really understand it. Is he making fun of fat people? He has before (William, it was really nothing, Dagenam Dave), and characterised troubled people in his songs as being "skinny" (Shakespeare's sister), and self-absorbent people as being fat (How can you stay with a fat girl who says... I don't dream about anyone, except myself). I'm sorry I can't think of more examples, but there are many of them. So it seems like in this song he is sort of giving up his search for the perfect person, and chosing the "fat girl" from William it was really nothing.
