Description: Cover version of The Smiths - "Accept Yourself".

Oooooohhhhhhh can’t you see

Moulded for your
Boxed inside your

Spoken word part:

Do we really need to allocate everything to neat little groups?
Including ourselves?
What is it about our uniqueness that scares you?
The upside-down fork in the cutlery drawer
That discordant note
The outlier on the graph spoiling the clean line
We are all outliers on different graphs

Some things come as a warning,
Hear their voice...

My cover of Dolby's monster hit, done in my bedroom studio.

For what it's worth, this is a cover of the 12" version, which appeared on the US album, and has largely disappeared from the face of the earth since then. Though I've trimmed off the outro synth drum fade.
