Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine (unreleased version)

This is the unreleased version of Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" (produced by Jon Brion).

Lyrics:
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease

(Chorus)

-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Hey spiddia, there are unreleased versions of all the songs in the album?

[spiddia]

I have all the unreleased versions of the album's songs.

I believe Parting Gift is the only one without an unreleased version (that's because it was made when the official version was being recorded).

[MrCF6]

At "I need to prove" it sounds like she says "I need to poop".

This always makes me think of The Brave Little Toaster.... xD

Funny you should say that as this song is the only one on the album that remained the same as the unreleased version.

[LCWOODS100]

She kinda sounds like Marilyn Monroe

My favorite line: "But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time.....but he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying exactly the same." SO good.

Did the 2003 bootleg ever leak in a quality higher than 192 kbps?! I need this in 320. (Not transcoded up but a 320 original from wav).
