'Passions just like mine'


I have a book ' The Smiths: All men have secrets' which is a sort of collection of memoirs by fans about the songs/lyrics  by The Smiths. 

In an earlier post I mentioned how lyrics from the song 'Cemetry Gates' by The Smiths could be used in my work/final piece. 

I looked at fans' memoirs about the song but was slightly disappointed to see that they didn't talk much about the lyrics but one entry was about visiting Oscar Wilde's (Wilde is heavely mentioned in the song) grave in Paris, France. And said that on the back of his gravestone " 'passions just like mine' daubed in Morrissey's honour"
