Suffer little children has brought me to tears at times. For me it’s
“Edward, see those alluring lights ?
Tonight will be your very last night
A woman said : "I know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"
that does it. Honestly though for all of the bleak subject matter I don’t find to many smiths songs bleak. I think it’s because he’s so young that there seems to be a distance of experience keeping the lyrics meaning at arms length a bit. He sings them a little like an actor, moving and affecting but almost to composed to be truely harrowing. That’s kinda why I chose my dearest love. It’s a simple lyrics without many words but the way he sings it leaves me no room to doubt his belief in it. He sounds so angry and bitterly resigned on that one
