"Is that clever" and "Everybody's clever nowadays" is from an EMI Music for Pleasure audio recording of "The Importance Of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde (the actor spraking is John Gielgud). The "You are sleeping, you do not want to believe" is the voice of an interpreter on a record called "Breakthrough: An amazing experiment in electronic communication with the dead", apparently the dead person said "Du sovas, willst nicht glaube", which is half Swedish, half German. Another interesting note is that Morrissey overdubbed a 'lift-shaft' sound, made by him making the noise into a microphone, which can be heard just before the third chorus.
