Secondary Waltz
Unreleased track...recorded during the Golden Heart sessions, the track is available
on the CD Golden Demos. The recording technology wasn't good, the pitch is very strange,
but the songs are perfect, typical MK.

On the big final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to the deep thing
This time we'll do it with girls
In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old girl for a bride
The matches were fixed, somehow we mixed
And the fat girl got left on the side
The fat girl got left on the side.
