My secret's my enzyme.
I'm about to jump into the bath so how about you lay it out for me?
You figure it out. Think about it.
Also, this is just one song, imagine what the others are saying?

No, I don't reckon Morrissey is crying into his tea because you've missed the point - but I think by applying blatent misinterpretation you take away the magic of the actual song.
I think 'Mama...' is a pretty good song. I don't think the studio version is as good as hearing it live, but think it has something interesting to say and says it very well in those four minutes.
I don't think you need to artificially attach a false sentiment to it, just to make it more profound.
Huh. So Morrissey is just a man singing songs about stuff, you know, normal stuff, because after all he just likes singing songs because that's the kind of guy he is and we should just enjoy those songs and not investigate them because afterall, he may seem a little strange, but that's because he is, but other than that, there's really nothing going on upstairs?
Ophelia, duhWhat do you think this song is about?
No really, tell us what you really think of us!
Again, it sounds like plenty of b-sides have been recordedQUOTE]
That also could almost be a description of the album Years of Refusal, I'm afraid...
Maybe not in Morrisseys case, since he usally has put out nice b-sides, but...you get my point.
It is about Mama Rosa in the Pasolini movie. At the end of the movie her son is in prison, tied down, shouting for his mother and Mama Rosa tries to jump out of the window, but her neighbours and friends from the market hold her back just in time before she actually jumps.

Besides, it's probably all about Johnny Marr anyway, why do I bother? NOW I'm going to bed. And for your information, Johnny Marr is married, I doubt Morrissey's a homewrecker. GOOD NIGHT!
I read through Morrissey's interviews and listened to them on youtube. Somewhere in all this I read that Mama is about the movie Mama Rosa. I watched the movie and I told you its ending. I don't know why Morrissey tried to give the movie an alternative ending. I thought it great that in the movie the neighbours and friends kept her from jumping. Very often people give such a person the final push.
Besides Morrissey was directly quoted in an interview in regards to "girlfriend in a coma". He said that it is about somebody in a drug haze. So the person is in a coma caused by drugs.
