Today's song is this Morrissey/Cobrin composition from Maladjusted.
What do we think?
According to Simon Goddard, this song replaced I Can Have Both late on.Curious that this piece should not have been on the record, but in the end replaced "I know who I love". Wonderful wordplay with the name of his favorite poet, again everything sounds like late summer and the splendor of bygone days and quite honestly: how much more delicate is " I am lying here wide to receive" compared to "Wrap your legs around my face just to greet me". Decide for yourselves how much he changed as a poet. Maladjusted forever!!!
In my memory he sings "Wilde" not "Wide", maybe because It wanted it to be that way.

Well obviously I Know Who I Love was considered early on. Goddard seemed fairly certain that I Can Have Both was pulled at the last minute and replaced with this.
