Just got the BRILLIANT new album by Casiotone For The Painfully Alone called "Twinkle Echo" and it contains a song about a Smiths fan (Owen of Casiotone is a fan himself). The song is called "Toby, Take A Bow" and contains more Smiths references than you can shake a stick at. Cannot recommend this album highly enough. Here are the lyrics:

"Toby, Take A Bow"

I've never seen you so awful
I found you at the bottom of a Russian novel
Gold medal and a crown
A cardigan and a frown
All maladjusted and clever
The greatest Smiths fan ever
Your picture in the paper and the captions shout,
"There is a boy and he never goes out"
That same song on repeat
You haven't left the house in weeks
Won't even come out for dinner
Toby Grace, world record winner
I guess you thought it would make you feel better somehow
But heaven knows you're miserable now
Heaven knows you're miserable now
Heaven knows you're miserable now
So Toby, take a bow.
