This is amazing, another rare, unreleased mp3 courtesy of the Ambitious-Outsiders. TonyS writes:
A Morrissey recording of the song "Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness" is available @ Ambitious-Outsiders. The song was released by Sandie Shaw but written by Morrissey/Street, this recording is said to be taken from Viva Hate sessions. The quality isn't great, certainly not top studio quality, my personal recollection was that Morrissey recorded this song as part of a session for the BBCs John Peel show. Maybe this is that recording.

Pretty Good Song (Score:2, Informative)
I've listened to it about four times so far. The first few measures remind me of "Footloose". I suppose my expectations may have been too high but I was a little disappointed. I enjoyed "Striptease" much more. But I'll take this over 90% of what is on the radio anyday.
If someone could post the lyrics, that would be great.

Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like to note my home address ?
Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you kindly note my inside leg ?
Oh, I don't mind what time you come round
If it's the daytime then I might be in bed - oh
I'm so very young
I am so really, really young ... oh, oh
Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like a list of my dislikes ?
There are people with problems
I know this ... I've know this for years
There are paupers and peers
Who have problems, oh
I don't mind what time you come round
If it's the weekend then I have to be dead, oh
I'm so very young
I'm so really, really young ... oh, oh
I'm so young - really, really (yeah yeah yeah)
I am so young
I am so young
I am so really, really young
I am so young
So young

And so it's a pleasure to hear this. David writes that the recording isn't very good, but in fact it sounds more like a rough, unifinished mix. The vocals may indeed be nothing more than a scratch track, meant to be rerecorded at a later date. I'd guess two possibilities: 1) The song was abandoned early on in the recording process, and someone just dumped a rough mix down to 1/4" tape for the sake of posterity, or 2) The song was mixed properly, and there is a more "final" version out there.
In any case, I like it. It's charming. But it's clearly not a finished product. More than likely a final version would have a cleaner, Stephen Street-style production, along the lines of "Sister I'm a Poet." But, alas, it probably never made it that far.

It really is too bad that Chris catches so much shit for merely for being a die-hard fan (Most likely born out fo some warped sense of jealousy or the usual, juvenile bitterness that pervades the Moz scene) and yet, he still has the kindness to share rarities that he ocassionally obtains.
And no, I don't know him, nor have I ever met or spoken with him.

I would love to hear some interesting alternate versions and, sure, perhaps there are some unearthed gems etc...
but this is awful, and so were the unreleased tracks that saw the light of day..striptease, born to hang, etc.
