Hard to believe that this was the first song Morrissey and Marr wrote together.
xod makes a good point about Hindley's sanity...after all, who could understand what was going through Brady's mind except maybe another psychopath? But Hindley? We have a sane woman of above average intelligence who helped a monster kill children for no other reason than that she loved the monster.
Anyway! I feel that this is a brave song about a difficult subject.
