Treated by MES as one of his more throwaway efforts, despite its being the title track of the LP. The lyrics are, to say the least, minimalistic, there has been some conjecture that they refer obliquely to MES’s split from Brix Smith. Ironically she would go on to form a band called Brix and The Extricated. There’s karma for you!
