Morrissey's Hidden Lyric?

[Ben]

Hi Everyone,

At 2 minutes and 54 seconds into the song "The Queen Is Dead" Morrissey sings in a muffled hum "All Those Lies About Make-Up And Long Hair, There Still There". Any thoughts as to why Morrissey included the line in the song but not in the printed lyrics? Or how the line ties into the theme of the song? The studio version appears to be the only recorded version that includes the lyric as Morrissey seems to excluded the line whenever he has performed the song live.

What is your take on this semi-hidden lyric?

Thanks,
Ben
