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"
@FishesWillLaugh i'll just correct one thing: i don't think being fat is a "flaw", and there's nothing in this lyric indicating that morrissey wanted to portray fatness as a "flaw", as if someone who loves a fat person loves them "despite their flaws" (being fat), you know?

i think fatness is beautiful. i don't view it as a flaw, and i think that's what this song is about: you're the one for me, fatty, and i love you AND your fatness. i love you and think you're beautiful and you being fat is part of it. whoever thinks you're ugly or less beautiful than a thin person is wrong, fuck them.
you could say that there's nothing in the song that indicates this; well, there's nothing that indicates your meaning either. but the meaning i gave is a lot cooler.
