Morrissey skrattar sig igenom låten, som även släpptes som singel. En smått tafflig men ganska söt historia, det här. Ett band vid namn Sultans of Ping FC har tydligen gjort en parodiversion på låten, vid namn We love it when our friends become disabled, som jag gärna vill höra innan jag dör. Morrissey säger följande om låten:
"There's the most vicious sense of competition in Manchester... so many jealous, vile creatures. This is what the song is about. In Manchester, you are accepted as long as you are scrambling and on your knees. But if you have any success or are independent or a free spirit, they hate your guts."
We hate it when our friends become successful
We hate it when our friends become successful
Oh, look at those CLOTHES, now look at that face, it´s so OLD
And such a video, well...it´s really laughable!
Ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...oooh...ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they´re Northern, that makes it even worse
And if we can destroy them, you bet your life we WILL destroy them
If we can hurt them, well, we may well...it´s really laughable!
Ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...oooh-ho-ho-ho...ha-ha-ha-ha-ho, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
You see it should have been me!
It could have been me!
Everybody knows, everybody SAYS so! They say:
"Oooh, you have loads of songs, so many songs, more songs they could stand
Verse, chorus, middle eight break - just listen:
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la..."
