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

Lyrics:
The nickel dropped
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do

And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do

I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do

Oooh, after all the folderol,
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do

Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
Where did I learn

I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn

I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn

Oh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face

Oh, mister, wait until you see
What I'm gonna be

I've got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree

Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me

  • But the other version says it's better. Then I go listen to that and then this one says it's better. It's an endless cycle. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

  • so, it's my firm belief, the only reason why we like these unreleased versions of these songs so much, is because we've been desperatly fiending for more Fiona songs. This is the closest we have to something new yet genuine. I don't know, but personally, I need more Fiona, still! Nothing is better therapy than this! I was fortunate to see her live once, it was amazing!

  • @MrXipetotec79 Yeah. According to an article online, Fiona has said herself that the album has been done for a year now. Her record label hasn't released it so far for some reason, though. :\

  • i love the unreleased songs because they're better...

  • ARE WE ALL WORKING IN A BETTER VERSION OF US???

  • I like this version...but I think a lot of it has to do with me craving something new from Fiona. Does anyone know if she's working on anothe studio album?

  • @negativepositive A year late to respond to this, but it's just as (if not even more) relevant now. You are 100% right about why we love the unreleased versions-- it's "new" Fiona. I need a new album like I need oxygen.
