Saddened lyrics make up this (as the majority of) Morrissey song as Moz adds a soft sense of request to an already demanding tune. As the title of the record suggests, Morrissey is seeking the help of a Ouija Board to reach a long lost love. Haunting and beautiful at the same time, you can't help but tap your foot and sing along as even Morrissey's varying levels of speech become intoxicatingly rhythmic and familiar. If you do not have the time to buy Moz's Hulmerist video, I highly recommend you buy this record to reminisce over. Equally sad and yet more misty is the second song on the single "Yes, I Am Blind". Though not as memorable, fast or catchy as "Ouija Board", it is much more likable than the third track "East West", which in my opinion is not some of Morrissey's best work.

I don't see what Morrissey purists have against this song. It's not like it is offensive or anything it's just a mildly ironic twist on the supernatural.
And very quirky with it
