Fiona Apple - Get Him Back (unreleased version)

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

Lyrics:
One man, he disappoint me
He give me the gouge and he take my glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the one man who disappoint me

But wait till I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my
Face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

So I say, and on I go
To another one to disappoint me so

Next one up, a contemptible snob
He live to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low
He can hardly even look me in the face

O, he made my blood just burn
I flipped so far, I thought that I would not return

But the last one I had who was getting my hopes up
I might've been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down when he didn't disappoint me
He didn't always guess right, but he usually got my gist

So wait till I get him back
I'm gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack
Yeah keep turning that chin
And you will see my face is fixed on the one
I'm gonna get back

I'm gonna get him back
I am
I'm gonna get him back
I really am

This is going to make me somewhat unpopular, but I think the released version is overall better - The 60's vibe of this version is quite excellent and there are certain little things in it that are unquestionably better than what the song ended up becoming. But, the final version was a little more focused and intense and has my vote (by a nose)

This is the first song that got me hooked on Ms. Apple.. I was so enamored by how esoteric her music sounded and her deep vocal delivery and how her lyrics cut deep... just how everything came together so cleverly. I like both versions but the leaked Extraordinary Machine album will always be art in it's rawest form.

Thanks for all the unreleased versions of Fiona Apple songs, Spiddi! :-) Some I like better than the released versions.. Others, like this one, not quite so much... But she rocks nonetheless. I listen to her heaps; especially when I miss my friend who passed away unexpectedly in 2009. She had a similar energy and often spoke in a stentorian voice.

Men are clowns to laugh at.

@AndyWitmyer No.  I love the wierd little quirky noises this one makes. I will say I like the released version of Better Version of Me tho

Does anyone know if the released version is on youtube?

@Phazonin amen to that !

@sorcerer1975 You're forgetting the fact that she did not like this unreleased version. :/

@castorat agreed. fiona should just ditch sony, im very sure there are other record labels who would absolutely love to have her, and then re-release " extraordinary machine " in its original form ... and keep putting out all the wonderful music she makes ...

With this song, the unreleased is more upbeat and jazzy. The official one is the more haunting Fiona. At least what I hear.
