How did lifeguard and I know very well not end up on the record is my question. And is I don't mind if you forget me in the top 5 worst songs?

Just don't get the hate for IDMIYFM, it's great!

Agreed - it's a really catchy little tune! It's not hugely profound, but I enjoy it in the same way I like Ask.

I guess the released Safe Warm Lancaster Home version is from the same tape(?)

Yep, ya probably right.
Don't seem like Moz sang them songs
to many times.

How cool would it be to finally hear
“I Don’t want us to Finish”

There's just somethin' in the feelin' of the
Viva Hate stuff that's unique.
Maybe it's 'cause S Street was used to workin'
with Moz and he had a certain understandin'
on how to record Moz.
Maybe it was the times.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

Other possibilities: Alsatian Cousin, Break Up The Family, I Don't Mind If You Forget Me, Dial-a-Cliche, Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness or I Don't Want Us To Finish, which heretofore has never been heard but I believe was mentioned in Street's Viva Hate era journal several years ago (edit: and also in Mozipedia).

I dont want us to finish, naked civil servant, I'm not worth hitting and Teresa Teresa (Alain's Track) are .....

This is quite interesting to read so thanks for posting. But actually it's nothing to do with Street. More that Vinny Reilly (Musician) was involved and he's talented and unique and weird and lots of other things too. But HE is why Viva Hate is superb sounding today in 2022, just as it was when it was released.

I do appreciate Producers Clanger and Winstanley and Street have/had ability. They are just not superb musicians like Vinny is. Or was.

It's too bad Morrissey wouldn't pay Vini what he wanted to work on a second album. That was a serious miscalculation.

Believe we only have Tony Wilson’s side of the story on that. And Tony and Morrissey didn’t really get along, it seems.
