I’ve just listened to “Oh marie” demo, when was that written? is it an outtake from any cd?

here is the lyrics for those who don’t know the song:

OH MARIE

Here she comes, she’s all dressed up in daisies.
Half the time you’d swear that she is crazy.
A fancy smile, a fancy dress - that’s the way we
know her best. She says she is busy - we don’t
mind. ’Cos every night she works overtime

Oh Marie, we sure hope you’re happy.
Oh Marie, what would life be without Marie

She likes to drive those cars you find in movies.
And every song she hears, she thinks is groovy.
One day she’ll buy some coats of fur, instead of
spending time with Blur.
She says that Rolf is hard to please. Knowing her,
he’s on his knees

Oh Marie...

Here she comes, she tries to make connections.
The management is asking for perfection. Her
mobile phone goes overload, she’s busy dialin’
some country code. She speaks fluent French,
forget therest. ’Cos it’s the small unsound, we love
the best

Oh Marie...

Oh Marie is outaken form Sheryl Crows album Sheryl Crow, year 1996. Written by Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott/Bill Bottrell.

Roxette’s rcover isn’t demo. As RJ1976 wrote, its just a birthdaysong to Marie D.
