"The Boy Racer" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, released as the second single from his fifth studio album, Southpaw Grammar (1995), in November 1995. It was Morrissey's second and final single released on RCA Records after leaving EMI Records. The single was released across two CDs, each with different covers but both featuring a young boy. Contrary to rumour, the child is not Morrissey's nephew. The song reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
