Today's entry in the A-Z is this one, the b-side of the "Wedding Bell Blues" single:

It's so odd to have 2 versions of an obscurity like this, when much more desired songs still remain unbooted. Not that I'm complaining too much, as I quite enjoy each iteration.
The b-side version is superior and Boz's music and the production are quite strong. Morrissey is also in very good voice.
The lyrics are ok for what they are, but they are a little slight and certainly not weighty enough to make a 4 and a half minute song. It could easily have been trimmed by 90 seconds or so.
In the poll on the other board it ranked 135 from 264 solo songs.
What's the other version? (apologies if this is widely known/shared)
Yes, I hear that as well. I often hear some Scott in Moz' stuff, to be honest. That fact that he has never(?) mentioned Scott baffles me. Seems right up his alley. The crooning 60s stuff seems like something he would like musically, and and late era Scott should appeal to Mozzers love for outsiders and those who go against the grain.Once again Morrissey consigns a great song to a b-side. I can imagine Scott Walker singing this - it has a late-60s vibe to it, the guitar solo notwithstanding.

On a cold winter evening, in a warm room, the red lantern lit and lying on my back, I can rejoice in the beauty of this song.
