"Glamorous Glue" turned up on Your Arsenal, Morrissey's 1992 album, with Alain Whyte writing the music, Morrissey the words and Mick Ronson producing, and it made its way to 13 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. It has also done duty in promotions for the Fox series Lie to Me.
In February 2011 it came back as a limited-edition reissue on 7-inch vinyl and CD, filled out with two B-sides nobody had heard before, "Safe, Warm Lancashire Home" and "Treat Me Like a Human Being". That run stalled at 69 in the UK, knocking "Hold On to Your Friends" off its perch as his lowest-charting single. A pure Morrissey touch: the vinyl carried an etching naming Raymond, Douglas and Bunny, the sons of Diana Dors' character Queenie Shepherd in the TV series Queenie's Castle.
