My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind You took me behind a disused railway line Tripped into blinding fire and wrestled with surf and sand Oh I’m saved, I’m saved you took my hand But I can't believe that you'd ever care And this is why you will never care But these things take time And I know that I'm The most inept that ever stepped I'm spellbound, but a woman divides And the hills are alive with celibate cries But you know where you came from You know where you're going And you know where you belong You said I was ill and you were not wrong But I can't believe that you'd ever care And so you never care But these things take time And I know that I'm The most inept that ever stepped Oh, the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your rooms They meant more to me than any Than any living thing on earth It had more worth Than any living thing on earth On earth, on earth Vivid and in your prime You will leave me behind You will leave me behind

Woah this sounds great I’ll listen to more of their music

I absolutely love this song, even though I can’t relate at all I like to pretend as if I can relate. I wish I had more friends and a lover so that i could be miserable AND relate to lyrics more

I like these lyrics more

The search for Alvin Dean's story is far more exciting than the Mysterious Song itself. Is he alive or dead? What happened to him? Why is he so darn mysterious!?!?

Love the tremolo/reverb on the guitar.

I absolutely love this song, I don’t quite know how to describe it but feels as if I got some kind of deep connection with it

Woah, a blaring resemblance…

love this version <3

I believe that knowing the name of the chorus members (children at 01:24) or some women at "Autumn in Paris" can lead us into knowing the real singer of TMS.

A very special band at a very special time. Thankyou for uploading

Máster piece!!! I love Johnny Marr ❤️

This song must be in th B3313 Mario 64 romhack

You have corrupted my innoncent mind... not once but twice...

You have corrupted my innocent mind... Not once but twice...

I like it!

It is done.

Alvin Dean himself is the man in black now...

Grossartig!

czcams.com/video/eg_3B4rFBxw/video.htmlsi=EYOYEDmhizQ0CqcL THEIR DEBUT ALBUM IS ON STREAMING IM CRYINGGG

I know they are different persons but... The singer sounds really similar to the Alvin Dean's voice in his & Yannis' "Ghosts" demo...

The raw emotion Of This track is unmatched

I love all of the Tate recordings

I prefer all the Tate recordings

How can you call this A home when you know it’s A grave🥀

Oh wow...

Gorgeous. I could listen to this all day.

I really burst into tears

You are a genius Johnny, really impressive stuff

Did these guys record anything that wasn’t great? lol

His voice is so clear in this version. I just can’t understand why it never made the cut. I think it’s phenomenal. Thank you for posting this.

super!!!

Addicted to this. That’s bass lines for you 😊

Not it

Very raw. . & good! 🎵

Flipped into writhing fire

Весь альбом просто шедевр 🎉❤🙏

Too underrated for a demo album

Pinky Complex doesn't sound like it's a part of the original album. I hear instruments that are in a 2000's Yamaha keyboard. The voice is also different.

"Era Of The Rats" is similar to "Bella Lugosi is Dead"

Super ok

Super re ok

who made strange affair and the basement?

One of my favourite songs of The Smiths.

its soo chill oml

Maybe this version is why they ditched Troy?

THE DRUMS AT THE BEGINNING OMGOGMGOGM

Myfavorite Smith song！！

Closer to the Peel Sessions version. The The final Troy Tate version is more lacklustre.

Been a Smiths fan for 12 years and never heard the Tate versions till now. Thank you for posting these songs mate!
