After the rock, we move to the slower paced “Dear God, Please Help Me”. This is a track where Morrissey declares he has “explosive kegs between my legs” and “now i am spreading you legs, with mine, in between” lyrically shocking, the music is beautiful with Ennio Morricone applying his string work to it. Throughout the album, there are many references to Rome, a place where he has clearly fallen in love with.
