The second track on Dusk is I Have Never, which has the unusual claim of being the only track we've ever written (as far as I can remember, anyway), where Simon has told me to write more lyrics. It started with two verses, and ended up with four. Does it feel too drawn out because of that? You decide...
Its other claim to fame is that it contains an entirely unintentional reference to Merry Christmas (War is Over). Can you guess what it is?
Anyway, obviously the name comes from the popular (?) drinking game of the same name, which is a very good tool for getting to know complete strangers very quickly, and in a very short space of time. Hence the introspective lyrics, which I'm probably being much too cagey about here.
And continuing the drinking theme, the sound of the song is built around samples from Absynth. The synth though, not the drink. Which makes you go mad, anyway.
