Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
The Smiths Lyrics

The lyrics to The Smiths' song, "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others," seem simple, but they have been interpreted in various ways over the years. It is said that this song is a comment on the difference in physical sizes between women. The singer discusses how he has recently discovered "some girls are bigger than others," and he repeats this line throughout the song. He also mentions that some girls' mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers, which implies this is a genetic or inherited trait.

However, there may be more than just a physical size interpretation of the lyrics. Some believe that Morrissey, the lead singer of The Smiths, was commenting on societal expectations and standards of beauty for women. Women who have a more significant physical presence often face ridicule and ostracism from society. Alternatively, it could also mean that people should embrace individual uniqueness, regardless of societal norms.

The song has an intriguing reference to Anthony and Cleopatra, where the lyrics say, "As Anthony said to Cleopatra, as he opened a crate of ale." The meaning of these lyrics is not clear, but it could denote youthfulness and dating stereotypes or love conventions. The conclusion of the song, "send me the pillow, the one that you dream on, and I'll send you mine," is possibly about longing for companionship or missing someone.
