he world officially came to its end when I heard the first tunes of Big Mouth strikes again, the Smiths’ most remarkable song. Well, one of their remarkable songs. All their songs have something so cynical and surreal that nobody actually knows what the songs are about. In case of Big Mouth, I always thought the song had to do with loudmouthed people whose loudmouthed rants end on pile of burning wood.
“Now I Know how Joan of Arc felt, As the Flames rose to her Roman nose and her Walkman started to melt.”
Who knows what this song is about. Like every mere mortal, I’m entitled to have my own personal interpretation.
