The boy with the thorn in his side Behind the hatred there lies A murderous desire For love How can they look into my eyes And still they don't believe me? How can they hear me say those words Still they don't believe me? And if they don't believe me now Will they ever believe me? And if they don't believe me now Will they ever, they ever believe me? The boy with the thorn in his side Behind the hatred there lies A plundering desire For love How can they see the love in our eyes And still they don't believe us? And after all this time They don't want to believe us And if they don't believe us now Will they ever believe us? And when you want to live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

Foi o primeiro single dos The Smith & Morrissey a contar com um videoclipe promocional, dirigido por Ken O'Neill, apesar da relutância da banda em fazer vídeos.
A canção chegou ao 23º lugar na parada de singles do Reino Unido quando foi lançada em setembro de 1985.
Na versão incluída no álbum *The Queen Is Dead* (junho 1986), foram adicionadas cordas sintetizadas que não aparecem na gravação original lançada como single.
The Smith & Morrissey apresentaram a música ao vivo em um episódio de *Top of the Pops*, trazendo-a para o público televisivo britânico.
Em 2003, Morrissey revelou que “The Boy with the Thorn in His Side” é a sua faixa favorita de todo o repertório dos The Smith & Morrissey.
