best song about breasts ever. works especially thanks to Moz's veilled sexuality. oasis couldn't really pull it off.

I have had great fun reading all these interpretations. Isn't it just hilarious that people can understand a simple line in so many different ways? But I believe that was the point. SImply put, all I am sure about is that Morrissey has a wicked sense of humour, and likes to keep people guessing/ and he has a penchant for occasionally saying ambiguous things to wind people up. I am sure he knew that this lyric is going to be understood in all those different ways, and that it was on purpose.;)

Because I've never interpreted these lyrics so literally, they never seemed that odd to me. I thought that this song could be about a scenario where two lovers are faced with the challenge of each belonging to a different social class. It's an issue that has plagued society from the dawn of time, so this idea seemed to fit. With the reference to "some girls' mothers" being "bigger" than others, I figured that this could be referring to the fact that there is a clear segregation of families within the different classes, and often the parents dictate the romantic fate of their children based on status, not on love (arranged marriages, etc.) The pillow part, I thought could mean - and please bear with me here ... "listen, I know that we can't be together due to our differing social status within society, but I still want to be close to you somehow & share my dreams with you. They may be the same dreams as yours." ... or something along those lines. The music fits the lyrics if you think of it that way. And I know that my imagination may have run wild, and that I totally romanticized the song, but great music allows people to do that. And if it's just a song about boobs, so be it.

It seems to be about ignorance; Morrissey has always judged everyone the same because of the people he might have known; but has now opened his eyes and realised that not everyone is the same

A friend of mine who's been a big The Smiths fan since the eighties said e heard in a documentary called "The Smith is dead" Morrrissey saing that e wrote this lyrics about an art exhibit he had been seeing where the paintings were themed girls portraits, and the portraits all add diferent sizes, so he wrote "Some Girls are Bigger Than Others"

Possibly Johnny Marr's finest moment on the guitar ruined by Morrisseys awful lyrics.

Well I thought it was pretty obvious that this is about transexuals/transvestites. Surely?
