Tablature: Guitar

This song was part of the band's mid-1993 live set as an instrumental, and Thom explained that it had been offered for a soundtrack but ultimately rejected. It was, at this time, much shorter then it is on the My Iron Lung EP.

It's still quite short, just shy of 3 minutes, and the vocals hardly dominate. However, the guitars are excellent, and the lyrics nothing short of brilliant, either.

Apparently written as a tribute to Sonic Youth, this track was one of only 3 b-sides to creep into the 2001 Amnesiac tours. The other two being Pearly and Talk Show Host.

The easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that I don't exist
The easiest way to sell your soul is to carry on believing that we don't exist

It must be hard, hard with your head on backwards
