I think he does use both in the song, but it's interesting to see it listed here as "What Do You See In Her?" because for years we've all assumed the title was "Him" - apparently we all had it wrong.
Always nice to learn new things about those early days.
Fantastic stuff, thank you!
I've now found the European version of "Stop Me" buried on Smithstorrents, so it's just the longer live version of Meat Is Murder to go!
Hi all, I'm trying to fill some gaps in my collection, and there are just three versions of Smiths songs I'm missing (according to passionsjustlikemine). I've been through the NHS, Extra Track and Smithstorrents and can't find them on there. Would be really grateful if anyone does have them.

Average score of 7.55 for the 12 album songs. Looking at the other thread, that put it 5th in Morrissey's solo career, after Vauxhall and I, Your Arsenal, Viva Hate and You Are the Quarry. Not bad.
Great to see two new songs in the top 100, and I think they're the right two. Shame Smiler with Knife is so low - for me it's up there with his very best - but I can understand why it's a bit marmite.
And The Kid's a Looker is now his worst song ever. To be fair, I think that's probably right...
I love this. It has so much energy, and there's a raw urgency to Moz's vocals - and such a great falsetto! The last minute or so is incredible. Most exciting song he's put out for years.
Not even close - my fourth favourite after Vauxhall and I, Your Arsenal and Viva Hate, and certainly a better album than Quarry. Lyrically, Smiler With Knife, Mountjoy and Oboe Concerto are his best work for many years - love those songs.
WPINOYB for me. Quarry has four good singles and Camden, but three or four very weak tracks. World Peace is a more interesting and consistent work, if less accessible.
Several tracks on this album are "growers", but this more than any other. Possibly the best lyric on the album, and the most interesting piece of music. A strange, threatening 10.
