There's also this less rocking version, which works for me!
I think it is much better.

Great lyrics, minimum effort, maximum effect, typical Morrissey.
It's a decent tune, too. A good single.
However, this...
is entirely superior and deserving of its own release. Suppose Morrissey thought so too but then he went "Ah no, we're gonna kill this pretty thing" and buried it deep in the vault.
Well, they changed all the acoustic arrangements they did at first because Morrissey apparently wanted a heavier sound. And that's fine.Regarding the acoustic version..
don’t know if it’s superior, has it’s moments though. The lyrics are more driving and the music could have been changed to fit the mood of the lyric, or they tried an electric version and that won everyone over. Also those first chords on this acoustic version remind me of the first cords on ‘Why don’t you find out for yourself’
so maybe it sounded too much like a Vauxhall track so they changed it too (?).
agree.Well, the production of Vauxhall drove the songs from electric to more acoustic/moody, while it was the opposite on Southpaw, Morrissey's choice as far as I understand,
don’t know, thought the album and the heavy bombastic vibe of the Arsenalbut I always thought that his band was never really good in sounding loud/heavy.
Me and my wife done the Scottish tour and it's a great song to hear liveI’ve liked this on first hearing it and remain to do so to this day. It’s criminal that a Perth outing in 2011 aside, it’s not had a live run our since 99. - a modern day tragedy
That's not my favorite tour at all and I am one of the few that believe they butchered Kill Uncle (and Street compositions) during the 1991 tour.agree.
don’t know, thought the album and the heavy bombastic vibe of the Arsenal
tour proved that they could play loud/heavy.
You’re right. It’s a pity the last great ‘small venue’ tour didn’t see a repeat, be it in the UK/Ireland, Europe or anywhere else and it was reduced to that Perth Cameo.Me and my wife done the Scottish tour and it's a great song to hear live
I WASN’T ASKING FOR YOUR PERMISSION!I will not allow you or anyone to like the acoustic version of this or any song !

Liked how his backing vocals worked with Morrissey's here.
Not the best audio as a whole, but one of the better Jools appearances.
FWD.
The suits are awful.that rocked. Wonder what made M
choose matching suits.
That's true up to a point, but I think the warning signs were there back in 1992. I felt that - with the exception of The More You Ignore Me - Morrissey almost forgot how to write singles at this point and over that 5 year period you had the likes of We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful, Fatty, Dagenham Dave, Alma Matters and this one. All very repetitive and none of them with much lyrical substance.
2004 brought a big improvement, thankfully.
i was at the perth gig in 2011,think it was the first song,it was never heard again,maybe it stretched his vocal too much.Me and my wife done the Scottish tour and it's a great song to hear live

For me the Arsenal shows were legendary and Morrissey in his prime and band at their very best ever.
