Lonely (for Julyan)

Love And The Single Psychopath 3:27

This song nearly didn't make it onto the album. Michael and Stu had to cajole Brendan until he saw the magic in it's simplicity... 4 chords and a message is all you need for a great pop song. Helped out by a few of the guys special musical pals in the chorus. Check the credits.

Lonely (For Julyan) is a beautiful lullaby written by Stu for his son Julyan, crooned beautifully by Mr. Gallagher and featuring a rare and stunning chromatic harmonica solo (like Stevie Wonder) performed exquisitely by Christian Marsh.

Psychopath is a cranking, mad tune about wierdo magnets... those people who attract the odd ones.

The Men Who Ran Away From The Circus
4:17

This single was released for radio only... a regrettable situation. The song received a lot of airplay from Triple J and is still a live favourite.

Stu was told by someone in the know that denim was going to be big for that season...

No B-sides. A rare collectors item if you can find it, as it was not on sale for the public.

This was the cover for Lasso, the single that never was. (It was never released) It's just as well, cause Elvgren (cheescake pinup artist) would have been pretty pissed off to find Stu had ripped off his art.

Turns out, it was a great idea that didn't quite make the shops. Although the musical director of Triple J said it was the only song he would play on first hearing the album.

A great song... about a subject close to many male hearts.
