NOTES

All the instrumentation in this track – which just appears to be a synth – is played by Spencer.

A promo CD for the single carried the warning: “For promotional use only – abuse it and we will get one of Santa’s helpers to drop a little present on you from a great height”.

A funky little number built around a simple back beat with a basic synth riff over drums with lots of reverb.

This track was never been played live.
