Maladjusted album (July 1997) - Produced by Steve Lillywhite

Live History
Strangely, this song has never been played live, not even during the Maladjusted tour in '97.

Critical Commentary
"'Ammunition' [is] patented mid-tempo pop. 'Ammunition' is also interesting for its suprisingly upbeat sentiment, 'I have no time or space in my life anymore for revenge,' which begs the question of why anyone would pay attention to a well-adjusted Morrissey" - CMJ New Music's Reviews
"'Ammunition' is a perhaps a sign that one can live with the bleakness of youth and the urge for retribution is fading and the vengeful days are over. It also uses the word 'salient' in the lyrics which must be a bit of a novelty." - New Zealand University

Comtesse Review (as if you care)
Musically, this song is quite bland. Lyrically, it's hit and miss - but it does score abundant points for using the word "salient" and for the wonderful phrase, "Veering cliffwards". The strangest thing about this song is its theme of putting old grudges aside and having no need for revenge... which would ring a lot more true if Morrissey didn't include the most vengeful and spiteful song of his career ("Sorrow Will Come In The End") three songs later on the album. ("Lawnmower parts," anyone?) At the time, I only wished that Morrissey would take the words to heart and stop his incessant attacks on Rourke and Joyce, but he obviously didn't care much for the sentiment since he never played the song live. Pity, because this is one of the lovelier melodies on the by-and-large underwhelming Maladjusted.
