Easily the stand out track from new album "You Are The Quarry", this song has the classic Morrissey sound.

The first single released from "Strangeways, Here We Come", this finds Morrissey at his lyrical best and Marr's guitar at its jangly best!

Answer: Half A Person

Another sometimes overlooked Smiths tune, which is difficult to understand as it is simply superb. Can be found on "Louder Than Bombs".

10. Which song beginning with the letter J does the following lyric come from: "Your face is as mean as your life has been."

Another "Meat Is Murder" track. Johnny Marr's guitar work throughout it top-drawer.
15. Which song beginning with the letter O does the following lyric come from: "You say clever things and you never used to."

Answer: The Operation

I have to admit that "Southpaw Grammar" is not the best album in the world, but this is an excellent tune.
16. Which song beginning with the letter P does the following lyric come from: "You just haven't earned it yet, baby."

Answer: Paint A Vulgar Picture

A fantastic tune from the "Strangeways, Here We Come" album, venting Morrissey's obvious anger at the way record companies "market" their stars.

22. Which song beginning with the letter U does the following lyric come from: "You're evil, and you lie, and if you should die, I may feel slightly sad but I won't cry."

Answer: Unhappy Birthday

Typical Morrissey venom in the lyrics. I don't know who his poison is aimed at but it makes for a great song.
23. What was the name of Morrissey's debut solo album? It begins with the letter V.
