I know this probably makes me sound a bit thick...
But what is S.Y.M.M about?

For years my mate thought it was about the Yorkshire Ripper

The lyrics are so bad it's hard to know what the song is about, apart from the vague reference to Jimmy McGovern's drama about Hillsborough there's nothing of any substance.

All the song talks about is itself.
Weirdly.

The song is about Nicky trying to put into words how he feels / felt about the disaster and basically struggling to do so because of the enormity of the situation. That's how I see it anyway!

Not struggling to do so, failing to do so. You may struggle to do so, but in the end you need to suceed, not write a song about how you can't....just don't do a song at all!

That's the point of the song though. Trying to but failing. It was obviously something he felt he needed to do at the time. Some people like it, others don't. That's songwriting.

I wouldn't knock him for trying, but it really didn't work.
FFS can people stop writing songs that just keep refering to themselves. And refering to themselves as nothing more imaginative than a song. 'This is a song, this is a song about...' Maybe it is, but I really don't care what it's about anymore as it's main interest seems to be in itself. |

Well obviously some people like it, but it could still have been so much more. Imagine what the manics would be like if all their songs were about trying to write about serious stuff and failing.

Nicky probably didn't want to get caught up in any legal action!
