Such a good song it's surprising it didn't end up on the original 'Viva Hate' album. I guess it's chirpy, upbeat tone didn't fit into the mood of the rest of the material?
Yes, I thought the other connotation was the point.Any other connotation to ‘on fire’ other than busy/frantic?
Are you telling me that you too have never been “asked to leave” a club in Tel Aviv at 4AM?So can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary
And psychologically change me?
Change me, change
Again, from the period when Moz sang our lives and observed the very ordinary in an extraordinary way.
He still tries to do this on moments like 'What kind of people live in these houses' except that, that song is a turn of phrase fest where as he was living the experience personally in Hairdresser On Fire.
That's what changed with Moz. He's still singing his life but we can't relate as we once did because not many of us are embroiled in ongoing high court appeals or knock around Bahrain, Egypt, Ukraine as much as we did on the streets on Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, Humberside.

Oh. ‘Can you squeeze me in’ .Yes, I thought the other connotation was the point.

Reminder that Morrissey fleetingly dabbled in hairdressing himself but abandoned that career in favour of searching for hidden tunnels.
"On Cross Street, Damien and Jason are looking for a stylist. I am not one, but I apply and I am given a trial run until I fail to differentiate between oily hair and an actual wig. There are rumors of tunnels beneath Cross Street and I start to look for them. I am beginning to give insanity a bad name."
And a picture of a hair salon I took in Cologne a while ago.

Nothing to add. The song speaks for itself.
