The Secret Life of the Waterboys 81–85 is an album of outtakes, live tracks and demos by the Waterboys, released by Chrysalis on 24 October 1994.
The tracks on the album were picked by Mike Scott himself. He told Melody Maker in 1994, "Working on the selection with Chrysalis has helped me come to terms with who I was in those days, to learn to accept and appreciate this young man, singing his heart out. I'm reminded how much I love the musicians who passed in and out of the band."
