First released 1993
This track started life as a five minutes plus improvisation with trumpets on the 1992 European tour, but was shortened to about two and a half minutes. It includes the kitchen staff from the Real World Studios doing backing vocals. It was slated as a potential single in early 1994 but lost out to Say Something.

LYRICS
I'm a member of an ape-like race
At the arsehole end of the twentieth century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the
Weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive
Low low low, low low low, low low low, low low low
This race to space we're on
To release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind
I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
From slime to ape, we'll learn to fly
Low low low, Low low low, Low low low, Low low low
Oh, we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual, will we ever find peace of mind
Low low low
