From Jimmy Nebula:

This is a new song by Jimmy Nebula called "A Crack In The Head". Can be found on iTunes. But it's a semi tribute to The Smiths. Here's a link to the YouTube video of the song. A lot of our songs are Morrissey and the smiths inspired so I'd love any support you may offer and if I can help you in any way I will do so. Just ask. Thanks

Excerpt:

You mentioned Rob Gretton and Tony Wilson, God rest their souls. If they were still alive do you think this rift between you and your former friends would ever have got so wide? Don't you think they would have just banged your heads together, the lot of you?

You know what, every day I wake up I wish somebody would. Because it is the most stupid waste of time and effort. As Peter Saville said to me recently “You and Bernard have dragged Joy Division and New Order into the desert where nothing grows. I hope you're proud of yourselves”. And I thought “Shit”. But the thing is, pride and ego have a lot to do with these things.

What they did to me, by taking the name and by doing it all behind my back and then deciding how much I should get, after 31 years work, it just wasn't fair, the way they did...

From One-Way Song:

We are a young Manchester group 'One-Way Song'.

While perusing on this site through unreleased Morrissey songs the title "I Was Bully, Do Not Forget Me" particularly struck us, hence we penned this song "When I Was Bully" to imagine, through our own sound, what Morrissey may have done with that title. We hope it stands as a humble but original and creative tribute to Morrissey.

The video for the resultant song can be viewed here, filmed in Manchester:



The lyrics are here:

'Watching the world burn
I once was so moral in my immoral way
my cold Irish heart had a name
When I Was Bully

"Every-time I moved, I'd quash something"
said loathsome

There are diseases, worse yes than diseases
aches which don't even ache in one's soul
my cold Manchester heart had a name
When I Was Bully

Every-time I moved, I'd quash something loathsome
for you!

As the bombs get bigger
but the brains they burn stay the same
despite every threesome...

Boy George was on a Twitter bender and rapid fire answering multiple tweets.

In response to "Hi @BoyGeorge you like The Smiths?" he responded "What kind of person wouldn't? A human disgrace!".

Comment from Alain : "Been getting asked what Morrissey song did we do. This is the track we covered. Sounds pretty great considering it is live and not our own back line. The amps belonged to the Lucky Strike house band who are red hot. Please share and let everyone know. We will be playing really soon so keep a eye out for Stadium."
