I believe "Song To The Siren", "Kangaroo", "Drugs" and "Come Here My
Love" from their respective singles/EPs are the same versions on 'It'll
End In Tears' and 'Filigree & Shadow'.  "Something Borrowed" is simply
the final 7 seconds of "With Tomorrow" cut into a 30 second loop of the
final 9 seconds of "Baby Ray Baby" -- A nice segue between 'Baked Beans'
and 'Scheer' on the 'Joyride' Soundtrack, but nothing to write home
about, as they say.
 
But I'd definitely settle for just an EP of "Sixteen Days-Gathering
Dust", "Sixteen Days Reprise", "It'll End In Tears" (which is the
instrumental/vocal-less version of "A Single Wish") and heck, why not
just throw "Acid, Bitter And Sad" on there for good measure.
 
I never did understand why they just didn't add all the extra stuff to
'It'll End In Tears' when they initially put out the UK CD (three years
after it's first vinyl issue) or any following re-issue (US Box, US
individual release, current re-release) or just put it with that promo
CD they put out and made THAT a "hits" package or something...
