Everyday is Like Sunday

Everyday Is Like Sunday by Morrissey is a melancholic critique of the declining seaside towns of the United Kingdom, which Morrissey saw as symbols of the despair and loneliness of modern life. Inspired by Matthew Arnolds poem Dover Beach and the feeling of desolation in British resort towns during the off-season, the lyrics reflect a mix of boredom and apocalypse, suggesting an escape both metaphorically and literally from the oppressive confine ... s of everyday life.
