n.p. c1989-1990. 3 pages of manuscript lyrics written in Idol’s hand with pencil on lined and ruled yellow paper, 8.25” x11”. Some stains blood? , smudges, vertical and horizontal fold lines, else very good. No corrections, but there are a number of differences between this manuscript and the final studio version, i.e. the first stanza, order and many other examples—certainly an early working draft.
