PICCADILLY PALARE


'"Piccadilly Palare"' was a single released by Morrissey in October 1990.
Despite a reaching a disappointing number 18 in the British singles chart, Piccadilly Palare was a generally well received single, and the last release before Morrissey began a writing partnership with Mark Nevin.
As with November Spawned A Monster Morrissey chose to write about a subject unusual in pop music, namely male prostitution. The title of the song refers to a slang first used by male prostitutes in the 19th century and was then taken up by homosexuals in the 1960s to disguise sexual predilections which were illegal in the UK until 1967. It was also used in the BBC radio comedy Around the Horne by the characters Julian and Sandy.
There is an as yet unreleased version of the track, which includes the lyrics, "A cold water room, it's not much, I know, but for now it's where I belong. Am I really doing wrong? Around the center of town, it's where I belong. Am I really doing wrong?"
