I must be the only one who sees the final verse lyrics completely differently. ("One fine day let it be soon, she won't be rich or beautiful, but she'll be walking the streets in the clothes that she went out and chose for herself"). I interpret it as an indication that she knows her condition will result in a short life, and she is preparing for that by picking out clothes that she wants to be buried in. The "walking the streets" is an indication of her ghostly spirit roaming around at night after she has died, her spirit self no longer afflicted with the condition that left her wheelchair bound. To me this fits in with Morrissey's black humor about death and the spirit world (Girlfriend in a Coma, Ouija Board Ouija Board, etc.)
