A very good song indeed, not just compared to Ringleader, but in general. I love the T.Rex guitar riff, Morrissey's vocals, the lyrics are simple yet utterly compelling and meaningful, especially the chorus part which I think is fantastic. This is one of the better examples of modern-Moz; combining new found optimism and joy in life, with stinging ambiguity.
This was a good choice for a single in my opinion, and while it isn't quite a classic, I rank it very highly. An 8.
