about

A cover of the song made famous by The Smiths. Available for download for Pay What You Want (no minimum donation), with ALL PROCEEDS going to tellmamauk.org, in direct response to Morrissey's support of the abhorrent anti-Islam far right political group For Britain.

Tell Mama are an anti-Islamophobia charity who work towards measuring anti-Muslim attacks, addressing racism, prejudice and bigotry by facilitating the reporting of anti-muslim hate crimes and providing emotional support, signposting and pro-bono legal aid.

**MASSIVE FUCKING DISCLAIMER**

As a long-suffering Smiths fan, in the past I've considered it off-limits to cover one of their songs thinking it would be tantamount to sacrilege. But one of the best bits about Morrissey being (even more of) a disgusting fascism-advocating prick these days is that I no longer give a fuck about such things.

Johnny Marr, if you're offended by my version I solemnly apologise. I guess the song choice reminds me of Moz a bit. If it bothers you that much, to quote Morrissey, 'Honey you know where to find me.' ❤
