The bit that comes in towards the end of Radiohead's Weird Fishes (chiming?)
I know the exact bit you're talking about. I also love Colin's bass in the outro.

The vicious guitar in the choruses of Sleater-Kinney's 'Jumpers'.
And for Axver who was picking bits from Crowded House's Together Alone, I'd also nominate the musical escalation that comes in at the end of Distant Sun.
On a more light hearted note, I've always been a sucker for the orchestral flourish/club beat at the start of Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car.
The "I don't pretend to know what you want" bit? Yeah, that's great.
Hah, that's one of the reasons why I think it's one of the lesser songs on Zooropa. I just think it sounds cheesy and awkward.
Great song, and my favorite SK album.
Favorite track off the album is, of course, MODERN GIRL.

My impression is that he is gay. Songs like This Charming Man and The Boy with the Thorn in His Side seem to me pretty clear references to homosexual affairs/relationships. Dear God, Please Help Me is an even more overt reference. One can say he is "in character" in those songs, but I think the pattern in the lyrics is pretty revealing.
This song is NOT about sex. Morrissey is too creative and too brilliant a musician to make it that simple and blatant. He toys with the listener. He uses metaphors. He knows sex is the most fascinating subject to most humans, so he uses possible sexual references to peak our interest. This song is about Rome and him experiencing/feeling free there. The mention of the spreading of the legs is no different than the spreading of the pages of a book; a person opens a literary beauty and then immmerces his/her face within the pages. It's a liberating feeling when those pages contain a special beauty and hold your attention. For the creative lil' devil Morrissey, Rome did it for him.

And, I guess, file this under "wow, really, NSW, big shock" but,
