There seems to be a lot of people saying that this song is about a gay relationship that is misunderstood
by the society that surrounds them.
I think that isn't necessarily true, but is about how Morrisey feels in terms of his surrounding society and people's views towards him and his sexuality.
The song shows to me that Morrisey wants to be loved like everybody else, but finds it difficult because society will not accept him. He struggles to blend in if that makes any sense. People ''don't believe us'' referring to others like Morrisey and ''how do you start'', ''where do you go'' - he simply doesn't understand why he cannot fit into normal society.
There is an underlying sense of wit and humour in this song, I have no idea why? But like a lot of Smiths song there is a funny side to them. But is it to hide embarrassment? Trying to fit in with Society normally? Or to enjoy their music, as Morrisey doesn't seem to enjoy a lot else? Lyrically Brilliant and not subtle
