The Smiths - Paint a Vulgar Picture (early demo)

Earlier version of the song where the lines containing the title of the song can be heard:

Double-pack with a photograph,
extra track and a tacky badge.
And they paint a vulgar picture
of the way they say that you were
but they can never really hurt you my darling.

and

And still they paint a vulgar picture
of how you really were
but they can never change you in my eyes,
they can never hurt you now.
They can never touch you my darling,
never hurt you now,
but me and my true love
we will never meet again.

@dlrjr3000 The end?

[dlrjr3000]

proof that morrissey was not infallible towards the end. the boys should have stuck with something closer to this version for Strangeways. i've listened to this 20 times and so far i've cried every time. this time included.
