Belgian radioshow Pili Pili compiled votes for a best song top-100 from Belgian artists.

There's A Light That Never Goes Out reached a surprising 16th place.
As a comment on this song is written that :

In ‘There Is A Light ...’, he(Morrissey) refers to the suicide-scenario's from the movie ‘The Killing Of Sister George’ and the novel ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’ of Alan Sillitoe. There are also some musical citation in this song. The staccato brigde is the same as ‘There She Goes’ from The Velvet Underground and Marvin Gayes ‘Hitchhike’ in the The Rolling Stones's version.

  • that's a very good result considering the type of song that was voted for - they voted for stuff like their own jacques brel.
