I found this reference for Vicar In A Tutu:
"...sent to Borstal when a kid for breaking open gas meters and ripping lead from church roofs..."

In general, that film describes (allegedly) all those things that bothered Morrissey about Manchester...
Eh, I wanted to reply to this thread, but unfortunately it's already read-only :p :

Did you see Moz cringe during the trombone solo on RB show? Poor Mikey!

You may be talking about the concert in Finsbury Park in 1992, where he supported Madness (if "supported" is the right word :confused: ) He didn't wear the flag though, he waved it for a short while. You can download the video of the concert here:

How about Speedway? I think that Morrissey speaks to several people in the song, but the final verse must be about Johnny:
I could have mentioned your name
I could have dragged you in
guilt by implication

I've just checked the lyrics on Passions... this addition won't make things clearer! :eek:
On stage, when he started being bored with the song, Morrissey changed this line to "but now you make feel so ashamed / because I've only got two heads".
As every artist, he is empathising with other people, people who have all kinds of problems. This particular line sounds to me like a situation where the protagonist is expected to "bring home the bacon", and his partner gives him a hard time when he fails to do that.
