Morrissey - Best Friend On The Payroll (Acoustic Miraval Studio Outtake)

LYRICS
I turn the music down
but I don't know why
This is my house
I turn the music down
but I don't know why
This is my house
The best friend on the payroll
No no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No no no no
The best friend on the payroll
Oh no no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
More breakfast in bed
and I'll bring the paper in later
The best friend on the payroll
Oh no no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No no no no
The best friend on the payroll
Oh no no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
More breakfast in bed
and I'll bring the paper in later
The best friend on the payroll
No no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No no no no
The best friend on the payroll
No no no no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out

The first line in this demo is "I tip-toe around, and I don't know why, this is my house"

[@Peggsworth]

"Touch", I believe I heard

[@Peggsworth]

I blame the first half

[@Justin_Kipper]

This is what a good song sounds like before a producer adds what it might or might not need. Thanks for posting!!!

[@Toni_F]

I absolutely love this song! His voice is incredibly beautiful. This song must be about Jake.

[@AlsatianCousin]

Yeah... I read somewhere it was about Jake

[@osborncox08]

gratitude to Jake for inspiring 'Whatever Happens, I Love You', 'Swallow on my Neck', 'Honey You know Where to Find Me'.. perhaps 'The More You Ignore Me'. He and Morrissey should hang out again.

Boy Racer too! All of SOUTHPAW

[@vacher45]

Who's Jake? excuse me if i'm ignorant

[@vacher45]

@@Toni_F oh really. Some of the songs from this era are really beautiful. My favourite is 'I'd love to'

[@tccxma]

Best version!

[@paulriggall8370]

Amazing to hear this. I love the little changes in the lyrics. The album is unsurpassed, maybe by any solo artist…

[@theboywithathorninhisside.4179]

Perfect as usual. Viva Morrissey.

[@criminally_vulgar]

I find I much prefer the acoustic versions of Southpaw songs. The acoustic version of The Boy Racer is better than the released version too!

[@LifeShortsGaming]

Is there a version like this of Do Your Best And Don't Worry?
