    I personally think American Pie is too long. It's a classic and has a wonderful melody, but would be better if it came in around four minutes. Way too many choruses.

    It’s not over 6 minutes long but like all Smiths songs, they seem a lot longer than they actually are.
    I believe it's 6:46, mate

    Yeah, it was a joke mate (Smiths songs seeming longer than they actually are as they're painful to listen to!)

    No argument from me on that one!

    His live version on 'Weld' is also stunning.

    Good shout also on Show of Hands.

    Taking the piss? No.... Just to each his own. I'm sure many Cure fans would agree with me though.

    Absolutely! Six is such an under-rated album. 
    Sorry Jessie......it was an (obviously bad) attempt at a joke about how 100 years was excruciatingly more than 6 minutes.

    i would have chosen House of the Rising Sun, but it's under 6 mins.
    Same reason I had to ditch Gimme Shelter, Moonlight Mile, Shangri La, Lovely on the Water & others
