How many singles from "YOR"?

Vauxhall95 said:
I thought so too and just surfing around the past few minutes it is listed with a group of tracks which ended up being the bulk of the new songs from YOR:

Have a peek at this wiki page:
http://www.bebo.com/Link.jsp?Url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_of_Refusal

Confirmed tracks
* Action Man (Morrissey/Whyte)
* Teresa, Teresa (Morrissey/Whyte)
* When I Was Young (Morrissey/Whyte)
* When Last I Spoke To Carol (Morrissey/Whyte)
* You Were Good In Your Time (Morrissey/Whyte)
* Because Of My Poor Education (Morrissey/Whyte)
* I Was Bully, Do Not Forget Me (Morrissey/Whyte)
* It's Not Your Birthday Anymore (Morrissey/Whyte)
* I'm Looking Forward To Going Back (Morrissey/Whyte)
* Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed (Morrissey/Whyte)
* Something Is Squeezing My Skull (Morrissey/Whyte)
* I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris (Morrissey/Boorer)
* One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell (Morrissey/Boorer)

Unconfirmed tracks:

* The Longer I Live (Morrissey/?)
According to Matt Walker's blog, it was recorded in Texas with Jerry Finn during the same sessions that produced "That's How People Grow Up".

* Livings (Morrissey/Whyte)
Supposedly mentioned by Alain Whyte in an interview as a song he had recently written for the upcoming album. However, "Livings" may have only been a temporary title and the song titled "The Longer I Live" and "Livings" could be one in the same. The song has yet to be posted on Warner-Chappell with the rest of the Alain Whyte compositions.

* Black Cloud (Morrissey/Boorer)
Supposedly listed on a music royalties website.

* Football Giveaway (Morrissey/Boorer)
Supposedly listed on a music royalties website.

In additin,album keyboardist Roger Manning had this to say:

I've spent over six weeks recording with Morrissey and his incredible band for what will hopefully become his latest solo effort later this year. Producer Jerry Finn and I have had a long fun filled history together in Punk Pop heaven with group's like Blink 182 and found ourselves both being invited back for our second Morrissey album. I think fans will be pleasantly surprised by this new solo offering. It was all tracked live which added a great punk, garage, DIY urgency to the tracks. I am so used to recording keyboards in the more traditional overdub scenario that being asked to invent parts "on the fly" and track with the band while Morrissey sang live was a very refreshing and challenging experience.

Football Giveaway was a Boz tune written for a football documentary, as I recall from an interview.

"Something is Squeezing My Skull" would probably be the second single, but to those who are saying three to four what songs are you thinking for the remaining singles?

I ask because nothing jumps out at me as another single, unless Decca is going to reach with something like "One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell." Which strikes me as on par with "I Just Want to See the Boy Happy."
 
Let's face it, apart from Skull there really is nothing on there that would work as a single as such. He will probably release another non-single as single like he did with Boy Happy, just to get the remaining b-sides released.

5 single-releases off this album will be more than enough.
This is hardly Thriller.
 
Why has he even included the 2 singles from last year? It seems like a real rip-off.

Unless the record label wanted a couple of hits already on there, he should have just included 2 new songs.

I just googled ''Football Giveaway'' and here are the lyrics:

Fergie, oh Fergie
You have the lergie
You sit there chewing your gum
with Ronaldo screwing your bum

Fergie oh Fergie
Just listen to me
Raffa is the new man to beat
he has the world at his feet

it's the football, football giveaway
the trophies you won was yesterday
it's the football, football giveaway
and you'll win nothing, nothing this May

Fergie, oh Fergie
Have you heard of City?
Plenty of cash
Ronaldo's had a crash

Fergie, oh Fergie
You wont talk to the BBC
you stupid old knob
In May you will sob
As The Scousers will rob
the trophies, to finish their job

it's the football, football giveaway
the trophies you won was yesterday
it's the football, football giveaway
and you'll win nothing, nothing this May

Jukebox 'quite pissed up' Jury:D

I think you should start a new thread for this. Personally, I'm eager to find out what fans think. Are the tracks so important to the overall message of: I've lived my life searching for love but now I'm okay by myself, and I've stopped searching for love (because there are things in life worse than never being someone's sweetie)? Or is this a record company maneuver? Or did Morrissey feel he didn't have album ready material in his b-sides?

I think I'm leaning to the overall "theme" idea.

Dont forget the cover of the Buzzcocks ''You say you don't love me'', can't believe he played it live so much and then will discard it.
