Fiona Apple - Window (unreleased version)

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

Lyrics:
I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view

As he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane that I was looking through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind gets so
It may looked like I'm concentrated on a very clear view

But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
It takes a lot of it away if you do

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

Because the fact in fact
Whatever's in front of me is covering my view
So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact
I only see what I'm looking through

I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say

So again I've done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window's clean
I still can't see for the fact
That when it's clean it's so clear
I can't tell what I'm looking through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say

I had to break the window
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Then forget what I had to say

Or miss what I should see
Or breaking him or her or me

ok what's the "technical" difference??? c'mon its the same, you're just listening more another (sound channel)

[spiddia]

The two songs are so dissimilar that they can hardly be associated with each other.

[churrobilly]

please post the original version of "oh well" !!!

[spiddia]

I uploaded it just now.

[spiddia]

By the way, this version is far better than the official one. :)

[sebox]

This is the only track that I think is miles better than the released one. I might be one of the few that prefer the released album as a whole :P

[apairofpetducks]

I think there was a small error in the lyrics done by the poster. It's not

"My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft" it's "when my mind gets so" referring to when you stare off in space when you're really thinking about something and you're not seeing what you're looking at.

@glorskia Same here!

[9boltofblue9]

So dramatically different from the released version - in my opinion, the unreleased versions of this song, Not About Love, O' Sailor, Please Please Please, & Red Red Red are far superior.

[glorskia]

where can i find the other versions of Window and Get Him Back?

it's driving me nuts!!

[jjboy90]

THEY BOTH GREAT IN MY OPION!

@whathoney73 3 month old question but here goes. Check out "Fiona Apple's interview with Charlie Rose Show."

[whathoney73]

Is there an unreleased version of this CD available somewhere? How did this one ever make it to YOUTUBE? I love everyone unreleased song on this CD. Red Red Red is phenomenal. Why are there even 2 versions?

@sebox. I agree. I really like the released album as whole. The unreleased one is somehow grander and more complex. The released one is much more intimate and that really works in it's favor. This is the only song I don't really like on the released album. I like this version better.

@spiddia so do i. hands down. there's something more raw about it.
