Interesting that many Smith's Fans have dismissed this song for being melodramatic - such is the power of Morrissey that a fan may be a carnivoure, and hetrosexual, and right-wing but they still followed him..
I always felt the animal and abattoir machinery sounds were needless additions to the song. At the time of its release there were few musical artists known to be vegetarians (Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hinds) let alone singing about it. The song highlighted the subject and allowed adult debate.
The song is hypnotic, a plodding sound, similar to a reggae beat with some wonderful hammering piano chords
