my top favourite Smiths songs... and a few Moz solo too!

in no order in particular.

The boy with the thorn in his side
this charming man
william, it was really nothing
heaven knows I'm miserable now
Ask
half a person
still ill
barbarism begins at home
rusholme ruffians
shoplifters (although I prefer the Moz-solo version off "Live at Earl's court")
girl afraid
You've got everything now (BOTH versions- including the "hatful of hollow" one)
Bigmouth strikes again (again, I prefer the Moz solo "Live at Earl's court" version, though both are excellent)
a rush and a push and the land is ours
I started something I couldn't finish
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
unhappy birthday
paint a vulgar picture
Reel around the fountain (once again- BOTH versions, including the "hatful..." version)
this night has opened my eyes
back to the old house
that joke isn't funny anymore
there is a light that never goes out (also the "live at Earl's court Moz solo version is awesome)
last night I dreamt that somebody loved me (also the "Live at Earl's court Moz solo version is awesome)
please, please, please let me get what I want
I won't share you
asleep

BONUS: Morrissey solo songs for those of you who love the Smiths.
these aren't as bombastic as his more recent work. you will love these, because I love them.

Alsatian cousin
Late night, Maudlin street
the end of the family line
there's a place in hell for me and my friends (original piano & vocal-only version)
Angel, angel down we go together (original strings-n-vocals only version)
Interlude feat. Siouxsie Sioux
At Amber
I'd love to
a swallow on my neck
black-eyed susan
I've changed my plea to guilty
Piccadilly palare
interesting drug
suedehead
ouija board, ouija board
november spawned a monster
such a little thing makes such a big difference
he knows I'd love to see him
yes, I am blind
Hairdresser on fire
Lucky lisp
sister, I'm a poet (also great is the live video version off the "Hulmerist" DVD + VHS
