This unfinished version of "How Soon Is Now" is on the B side of the Italian 12" release of "William It Was Really Nothing" (Virgin VINX71, 1984).
One interesting difference is the bogus fade-out at minute 6:00, with Morrissey asking "OK ?" and then a fade-in of the music starts again.
There are other KZfaq videos for this track, but I wanted to compose a catalogue of the record covers of The Smiths, so this is my version, ripped from my vinyl.

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
Oh ...
Oh ...
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
Oh ...
Oh ...
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
OK ?
