The older Morrissey gets, the more he turns into a parody of himself, from the arrogance of the title (which you know he's singing completely without irony) to replacing the beautiful boys of early Smiths sleeves with a photo of himself.
The second of two new songs which recently appeared on his latest Greatest Hits compilation, his army of obsessive fans will already have All You Need Is Me, of course, but this won't stop them from buying this unremarkable, Moz-by-numbers unit shifter all over again.
"You're going to miss me when I'm gone" he croons towards the end. Only Morrissey would have the nerve to write a song about how annoying he is. Of course we'd miss him, but as he'll never be able bear to live without the adulation and God can't possibly be as impressed with him as he is with himself, he'll never retire and, quite probably, he'll live forever.
