Has Morrisey always been such a douche?

You underestimate the influence of the Georgia sound on early 1980s American Alternative, Spellus.

Ah yes, the Georgia Satellites.

I got a little change in my pocket going shut the fuck up.

The Smiths were much better at smoothing out otherwise awkward lyrics into the rhythm of the song. 

It's probably due to the way they wrote. Johnny Marr wrote the guitar part first without any thought to subsequent lyrics and Morrisey wrote emo poetry that, for the most part, fit. The lyrics to "How Soon Is Now?" entirely waste of one of the most original and sweepingly grandiose guitar pieces of the 80s IMHO.

I concur wholeheartedly with the incredibly intelligent busty Brit babe on this one, and not just with "HSIN";  Morrisey's sophomoric whaa-nobody-likes-me emoism has ruined more than one Smiths' work.

Shame they never released true instrumental only recordings.

Oscillate Wildly was an instrumental, though until the collections it was a B-side.
