Quotes In an interview published in XL Magazine in 2006, Morrissey answered the question "In 'Dear God Please Help Me' you say: 'Then he motions to me / with his hand on my knee...', fans are already talking about it as the 'coming out' song.

It's a matter of having interest from someone who is a he, which one can't help and can't orchestrate, and so turning to God and saying, 'Did this happen to you?'."
