songs that mention joyce/court case?

[MozIsGod]

I am curious to know as to how many songs Morrissey has written that mentions, or has a reference, to Mike Joyce and/or the court case?

So far, I know of:
-Sorrow Will Come In The End
-You Know I Couldn't Last
-Noise Is The Best Revenge

I'm sure there are a couple others?

The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores: "They who wish to hurt you work within the law"

Also, "I Knew I Was Next" has that post-Joyce vibe to it:

"here I offer you my life for any debts you're due
and when you've been down for the very last time
there is nothing anyone can do to hurt you"

Also, "I Like You" has a couple of lines that make me think of the court case:

"Magistrates / who spend their lives
hiding their mistakes
they look at you and I / and
envy makes them cry"

and

"Forces of containment, they shove their fat faces into mine"

That's too many already. No more please Moz!!

The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get:
"I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges"

 

[9 x Fined]

That was before the case, no?

I've always wondered that since it was such a popular tune, the judge had heard TMYIMTCIG and held a grudge of his own against our Moz.

Wow...thanks so much Comtesse!

Its Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small is about Mike Joyce. As it neglects to mention court cases, evil legal eagles la la la then one could proffer that this is the best song in Moz's canon about his one-time drummer boy colleague!

The Ignore song was before the court case.

I would venture that most of the Maladjusted LP is an indirect and direct response to the initial court case.
