Rape??? I'm not sure any song is about rape. I must say I've changed my thoughts on I Can Have Both, though. I used to think it was about ambisexuality. Now I realise it's about the choice to have sex or not. The choice between being sexually active and not.

I think it's more that Morrissey tends to explore the impulse to violence in his work, which rape is a part of. This is something he shares with a lot of serious modern artists (Martin Scorsese is the most obvious example). We just don't see it explored in pop music as much.

No, usually the assault is on your ears, when you listen to it.

Half a Person is about a stalker / a song about an unrequited love.

I don't think The More You Ignore me, The Closer I get is about physical stalking.
I thought it could be about his hatred of Joyce or a love warning to jake. I love the way morrissey writes about so many subject matters and we continue to discuss them. I true genius

Wonderful Woman, specifically

Ice water for blood
With neither heart or spine
And then just, and then just
To pass time; lettuce, go and rob the blind
