MD: [laughs] I really don’t know. I actually don’t feel like it was part of the concept at all. It seemed like a throw-back from The Family Jewels… We’ll see what we can do with it.
It was recorded post-TFJ but she felt it didn't match the concept. Like she didn't feel the song was an example of her moving forward with her writing and sound.

Makes me wonder if Like The Other Girls came into existence before or after S&P

PN: There’s no title track on Electra Heart but does such a song exist, in the same vein as The Family Jewels, which was left off the first album?
MD: Yes! It’s weird because I consider Electra Heart to be a multi-media project so there are songs and videos that won’t be to the mainstream liking but they are still part of the overall endeavour. Maybe I’ll do a CD at the end of the project, which will have everything on it. I think the track Electra Heart will probably be an opener for my final live tour.
PN: So out of the 22 songs you wrote for this album, how did you whittle it down to just 12?
MD: It was really tough. I managed to get it down to about 14, I’d say, but my label said that 11 tracks would be much stronger and would review better. And I was, like, “I don’t give a shit”. It has to make sense to the people listening to it. So in the end I got it down to a 12-track album but it was hard

 Did you get signed deluxe or standard deluxe? Perhaps only signed editions have been dispatched today.

Found this back in the thread for you.
I wanna be a bottle blonde,
I don't know how but I feel conned.
I wanna be an idle teen, I wish I hadn't been so clean.
I wanna stay inside all day,
I want the world to go away.
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake,
I wanna be a real fake.
Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle,
I wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title,
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible,
Feeling super! super! super! suicidal.
The wasted years,
The wasted youth,
The pretty lies,
The ugly truth.
And the day has come where I have died,
Only to find I've come alive.
I wanna be a virgin pure,
A 21st century *****.
I want back my virginity, so I can feel infinity.
I wanna drink until I ache,
I wanna make a big mistake.
I want blood, guts and angel cake,
I'm gonna puke it anyway.
Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle,
I wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title,
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible,
Feeling super! super! super! suicidal.
The wasted years,
The wasted youth,
The pretty lies,
The ugly truth.
And the day has come where I have died,
Only to find I've come alive.
Come alive.
I've come alive.
I wish I wasn't such a narcissist,
I wish I didn't really kiss, the mirror when I'm on my own,
Oh god, I'm going to die alone.
Adolescence didn't make sense,
A little loss of innocence.
The ugly years of being a fool,
Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?
Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle,
I wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title,
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible,
Feeling super! super! super! suicidal.
The wasted years,

Feeling super! super! super!
Feeling super! super! super!
Feeling super! super! super!

She said she went into the studio March 2010 to start on the 2nd album. I can't help but think Scab & Plaster was recorded maybe after Living Dead, the first song she recorded for the album, or around that time.
I've not listened to Like The Other Girls, I'll look that up.

I just got the standard deluxe... I thought the signed copies were only the standard versions!  That's the reason I didn't order it. 
I guess I'll be getting mine on Monday, I was really hoping to have it for Saturday to be honest.

No, the deluxe is the signed one. £11 bargain tbh.  Don't worry, atleast you've got the leak to tide you over for a few days!

It is! I'm so stupid sometimes!
That's true. The iTunes quality (with deluxe tracks) in a few hours anyway.
