'What do you see in him'? /' Wonderful Women' info required please

[Sandie's Sure]

When in Dublin seeing Moz, I came across a record shop selling bootlegs and one Smiths bootleg was 'Reel around the fountain' that contained the song 'What do you see in him?'
The description said it was at The Smiths 3rd gig ever, at the Hacienda and this song became 'Wonderful Women'.
Sadly I didnt buy it, but regret it now! How different are the two songs?
Anyone heard 'What do you see in him'? and is it worth getting?
Thanks

According to the It May All End Tomorrow site,
"What Do You See In Him" has alternate lyrics and was eventually rewritten to contain the lyrics that appear in "Wonderful Woman".

As far as how different it actually sounds from Wonderful Woman, I can't confirm -- as I have only heard the song once in my youth and can't remember too well.

Oh, the nights are too long
When the questions are long
I tried, but I will never understand
What Do You See In Him ?
What Do You See In Him ?
Oh ...

She's the lifeblood of me
As you walk hand in hand
And I try, and I try, and I try
But I will never understand
Oh, What Do You See In Him ?
I ask myself :-
What Do You See In Him ?
Oh ...

But she will plague you and I will be glad
Yes, he will leave you and I will be clean
Oh ...
Oh ...

The @kiraware site ( www.akiraware.com ) has just finished posting all of the tracks on 'Reel Around The Fountain' including that one (they've all been taken down now, he's doing 'Thank Your Lucky Stars' at the moment.) I downloaded 'What do you see in him?' and could e-mail it to you if you're interested (3.2 MB MP3 @128kbps) (I don't have anywhere to post it.)

"what do you see in him?" is a great song. i found it by pure luck on LimeWire of all things! it sounds a lot like "wonderful woman" obviously. the tune is more or less the same. if anything, i prefer the lyrics to "what do you see in him?" to the other! moz sounds very young and passionate in the recording.
