And suddenly I'm hearing Morrissey and I'm hearing the juxtaposition of the music.

You've got...

Quite dark lyrics, if a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side.

And so I think, going from your Bananaramas and Rick Astley's, I was just like... And, you know, I grew up listening to, like, the Top 40 on the radio, and I listened to my mum and dad listening to, you know, the Dollys and Kennys.

But this was me discovering, like, music that I just wouldn't have heard on the radio, necessarily, or seen on Top of the Pops.

And I just...

That was the beginning of my love affair with Smiths and Morrissey, which still goes strong.

And storytelling.

The beauty of the stories you get in his, oh my gosh, anyway.

The romance with Damien was short-lived.

Straight back to the bus and I think The Cure was the next song on the playlist and he just was a man of great taste or his sister was, so thank you.

That song I think was number one.

It was in the high in the charts when I was born.

So mum and dad always say when it comes on that's what we used to sing to you.

That's not shallow.

That's deep.

Is it?

Yes.

Yeah, he is.
