Morrissey - Little Man, What Now? Lyrics
An afternoon nostalgia
television show
you spoke in silhouette
(but they couldn't name you)
although the panel were
but I remembered you
from Friday nights 1969
ATV - you murdered every line
too old to be a child star
too young to take leads
four seasons passed
and they AXED you
nervously juvenile
(WON'T SMILE!)
What became of you?
a star at eighteen
and then-suddenly gone
down to a few lines
in the back page of a teenage annual
oh but I remembered you
I looked up to you

my favourite morrissey lyrics
aye - love this track - for me best on the album :)
Too old to be a child star, too young to take leads.
No one could deny (could they!) that Morrissey is a literacy genius and this little gem provides ample proof. When Viva Hate was released over 30 years ago, I always loved this track. Something as simple and potentially boring as watching afternoon TV, is turned into a tell full of atmosphere, intrigue, nostalgia and of course ultimate tragedy tinged with empathy from the narrator. Who is the little man, Malcolm McFee seems the most likely, but I don't suppose we will ever know? "Little man, what now" last just 1.48 mins, but rarely has so much quality been packed into such a tiny package.
