Released:1990
Highest Chart Position:2
Tonight I Fancy Myself:
Starts with bagpipes and a sample of a war speech, but soon develops into a catchy bouncy duet between Paul and Briana, although the tinny keyboards sound a bit dated.
My Book:
An autobiographical song by Paul, was released as a single, but didnt fair too well in the charts, and the band were later sued as the coda apparently 'stole' lyrics from a Soul II Soul song.
Let Love Speak Up Itself:
A moving ballad sung by Paul, meant to mimic a best man's speech.Released as a single, didn't do well, but its still very good.
Should've Kept My Eyes Shut:
A solo from Briana, about domestic violence. Good, but never seems to really get going
I've Come For My Award:
A fast, upbeat song. Possibly the only song ever to feature 'The Awards for Industry and Free Enterprise'
Lips:
Originally the coda for 'A Little Time', for some reason this was deemed good enough to merit becoming a separate song. Wistful, and well sung, but nothing special.
I Think The Answer's Yes:
Dave and Paul both sing on this excellent song about the loss of innocence in war, amongst other things. The 'Aaahs' will send shivers down your spine the first time you hear it...
A Little Time:
The band's first and only Number One. A catchy duet between Briana and Dave, that plays on the classic excuse 'I need some time'. Well worth it's high chart position.
Mother's Pride:
A filler track, but upbeat and good fun.
I Hate You (But You're Interesting):
The 'sequel' to I Love You (But You're Boring) on 'Welcome To', this is slow and a bit depressing, especially being about suicide, but there's some excellent lyrics: 'I wrote a Will for my friends and this is how it read: Me, me, me, me, me.'
The Rising Of Grafton Street:
A bouncy instrumental rounds off this album. Was originally intended to have lyrics (An acoustic version, titled 'Runner's Up', was recorded) but they were left out. A stronger finish than 'Welcome To'
