- Black Planet with Wayne Hussey singing the lyrics to Dance On Glass.
Credits:
- Music: Wayne Hussey
- Lyrics: Wayne Hussey
- Roll of the thunder
Kiss and the scream
Hold out my arms and scars start to show
Howling for the glory of the innocent
But don't despair for the shame I know
The taste of ash on my tongue
Faith and prayers, wanton dust
Chanting strangers, blood on their cheeks
Haunt my dreams all covered in blood
CHORUS [x2]
Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged
For the love of god, my dreams look dim
So...
CHORUS
A whisper and a promise lit on fire
Kiss the hand where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So...
CHORUS
Tarnish, taint, and punish me softly
Hold out the heat and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged
For the love of god, my dreams look dim
A whisper and a promise lit on fire
Kiss the hands where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So...
CHORUS
Dance,
Dance on glass

- Body Politic is an early version of Fix. The whole sound has an odd sound to it, and the falsetto voice is very much different.

- Burn It Down is an unreleased track. It's possibly just an early version of Burn.
The drumbeat is slightly different (the characteristic Burn drumbeat does play once or twice at the end), and the only part of this song officially released was a few lines, recycled as the backwards part of Burn).

- Driver was recorded around 1982-83 era.
Though Driver was never officially released, it has come to light on many bootlegs, such as Acoustics From The Beehive. It has been speculated at that this would perhaps have been a Sisters single.
The lyrics are mostly concerned with how the band will pile into a car, wind the windows down, and fly along the public highway, yeilding reason to speed and power.
The first two lines later became the first two lines of Heartland.
The music is original, as opposed to Dance On Glass.
An instrumental version of this song has surfaced on some bootlegs, named "Candle". This version is far superior to the recording quality of Driver.

- Lights is an early version of the Reptile House song, the guitar sounding more distorted. The demo seems to originate from the Floorshow EP bootleg. Lyrically it is the same, though near the end, Eldritch seems to lose it a little, and screams "In the rain, I'm happy happy happy happy here!" and his voice seems worn out.

- Three different versions of Untitled exist, one being from the Dominion single - a sax solo from Dominion, the second can be called Long Version and it's the first version followed by an uncredited Ozymandias and the third one is a 7 minute almost acoustic-sounding guitar and drum instrumental. It has been rumoured parts were used for quieter guitar parts in This Corrosion or that it is even an early version of I Was Wrong (despite sounding completely different!)
Thanks for the information about the second version stufarq!
