Song composed by Martyn Bates & Peter Becker ... the track might be said to function as a kind of bridge towards "the next step" - which was Pete & I working together again as EYELESS IN GAZA, after our 5 year hiatus - on the Fabulous Library album, working as a trio with Elizabeth S. ( FABULOUS LIBRARY started life as as collaboration album between Peter Becker & Elizabeth S ...) .
