What lost tracks would you have on an album of Moz rarities?

[Billy A]

So, let's pretend Moz has an album or b-sides and rarities coming out. You get to choose the track listing, the album title and artwork.

For me it would be:

1. You've had her
2. Brow of my beloved
3. People are the same everywhere
4. Blue dreamer's eyes
5. Noise is the best revenge
6. By the time I get to wherever I'm going
7. Action is my middle name
8. Slum mums
9. Kit
10. It happens every time (Tim Buckley cover)
11. I couldn't understand why people laughed

Here, with me

Good tracklist and interesting choice of cover. I really dislike this picture for some reason but it reminded me of this mysterious "artwork" that appeared on TTY in 2016.
Wondering what that was all about with the supposed original/alternate title for Jack The Ripper and this quote of unknown origin
"as we return to wherever we feel certain we'll end up"

‘No Room For Oscar’

Is a song about Oscar just released from prison and no friend or hotel would take him in, so seeing this, Morrissey takes Wilde into his home, but of course Oscar being Oscar he quickly overstays his welcome and becomes a nuisance
which leaves Morrissey not knowing what to do with poor Oscar.


The song was eventually scrapped, and what was left of any lyrics became the song ‘You’re The One For Me Fatty’.


You heard it here first, folks!

Great selection and a reminder just how wonderful some of those songs left on the cutting room floor are. I know most of these were added to deluxe editions, but having them all on one album would be quite nice.

I've also liked that photo of him - as well as the others from that shoot.

 

[Billy A]

I've just listened to I thought you were dead again - great track!

I'm shocked nobody included this absolute banger in their rarities compilation

It's a good song but it's missing something for me. Maybe it's the production. What era is it from Viva Hate?

Another one for me would be the cover of 'A song from under the floorboards', the Magazine song.

I have in my head another compilation with rare tracks from 90's and this song has its place there
