If you skoot on over to the Downloads forum now you can listen for yourself ~

New, but old, B-sides
 
Speaking of lyrics, what does he say in Lancashire after "a head on her shoulders"? I can't make it out.

Here are my (probably error-ridden) lyric transcriptions:

Safe, warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you, I don't know
Cold hard girl
Veneer is all that she was
A head on her shoulders (???)
But the quotes don't hold
The punchline is old
And I don't belong to no one
Oh...

Safe, warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you, I don't know
Cold hard girl
Veneer must be all that she was
Well, this is the view that now helps me
But the (???) clouds
As the world comes of age
And I don't belong to no one
Oh...

The world comes of age
As the world comes of age
A blessing or a burden
It's a blessing or a burden

-

It's hard, but try
It's hard, but try
For once, just for once
Just for once
Leave all your hate behind you
It's still all so strange and obscene
For you to look and see one who is real
And who feels life
Three words could change my life
So once, just for once, just for once
Let the night pass with ease, son(? I think? At first I thought it was "so" or "and" or something)
Treat me like a human being
I'd like to know how this feels

Three words could change my life
Yet you treat me like you never care
Although three words could change my life
You still treat me like you never care

AGREEING on the "veneer". I'm editing this post as I... hear stuff better.

I think it's "the veneer is all that she was".
I can't make out the next line either.

Veneer is all that she was
A head on her shoulders like (???sounds like Dante dente???)
But the quotes don't hold
The punchline is old
And I don't belong to no one

Well, this is the view that now helps me
But the sky is clouds
As the world comes of age
And I don't belong to no one
Oh...

The world comes of age
As the world comes of age
A blessing or a burden
It's a blessing or a burden

I'm hearing it as Dante; as in Dante Alighieri, Italian poet, author of Divine Comedy, etc.
 
I considered that, but he doesn't seem to think highly of the girl (veneer is all that she was, the quotes don't hold, and the punchline is old). Someone has thought maybe Dente, a mobster? I don't know if that fits either.
 
Sorry to butt in, but I do believe it's a young Moz in a still taken from 'The Importance of..."

P.

You're belief is correct sir, you eagle-eyed butt-er :)
 
So if you read "I don't belong to no one" properly as a double-negative as opposed to colloquially as bad English, then he does belong to someone. :blushing:
 
Man, I have to say, after Lifeguard and Happy Lovers were released, I was thinking these were going to be boss.
BIG let down...
 
See "I Am Hated for Loving" lyrics.

Oh, is that being rereleased now too? Maybe it should be because I am mine. Who's I am? Lucky fella. He belongs to Morrissey.
