Song of the Day: "Nowhere Fast" by The Smiths

"Nowhere Fast" by The Smiths is song of the day on Battlestar Eclectica. For those who don't know, Morrissey is both my patronus and personal savior, but that's neither here nor there.

The strange thing about this song is that it's not my favorite Smiths songs and yet it has some of my favorite lyrics. So tongue-trippingly apt and moody: "I'd like to drop my trousers to the queen/I am a man of means—of slender means. Each household appliance is like a new science in my town. And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound."
