Again...God bless you, Mr. Stripper, for submitting this!!

IMHO it's from Mike Joyce , desperately wanting
to release rare stuff
my apologies if it's not
but it'ss better that a moaning Stephen Street over 20 seconds
thanks.

Makes it more intersting and a gem to have been
found and posted here
Dunno if Morrissey again takes action via his solicitors to David , our devoted legend and
webmaster of this best site about Morrissey and
The Smiths
I hope he sees how people like this sorta unreleased parts, and for 1 time don't act, or 2, 3?

It may spark some "historical" interest in The Smiths recording sessions and practices; I doubt however it will have any impact on their appreciation.

Analysis? (Score:1)
I've never searched but is there a good essay or at least paragraph analysing the lyrics of this song?
It's a classic example of Morrissey combining multiple perspectives and time frames into one narrative, including his own boyhood fascination with pop music. What are the opinions of who the "dead star" is, and is the tale of the young kid visiting the sound check his own or something out of pop lore?

At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags they say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
And it’s too late to tell him
How great he really was
A-list, playlist
"Please them , please them !"
"Please them !"
sadly, THIS was your life
But you could have said no
If you wanted to
Oh, you could have said no
If you wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them ! Please them !"
sadly this was your life
But you could have said no
If you wanted to
You could have walked away
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I bide "Please take me with you
I don't care where you're going..."
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning and boring
A child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
At the record company party
On their hands – at last - a dead star
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track and a tacky badge
And they paint a vulgar picture
Of the way that they say that you were
But they can never really hurt you my darling
They can never touch you now.
Best of ! Most of !
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour ! "media whore"
"Please the Press in Belgium !"
Sadly THIS was your life...
And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
See you're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads you headlong into harm
So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
We will never meet again
And still they paint a vulgar picture
Of how you really were
But they can never change you in my eyes
They can never hurt you now
They can never touch you my darling
Never hurt you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again
