| 1. Better Things To Do |
| 2. Leave My Brother Alone |
| 3. The Other Rush Hour |
The single features two exclusive b-sides. 'Leave My Brother Alone' is a moving tribute to the trials of brotherhood whilst 'The Other Rush Hour' is a hard-edged appraisal of modern attitudes to sex and class.
There's also an extensive multi-media section to the CD with lyrics, photographs and an entire extra set of songs in mp3 format. 'Zipcodes' is a 'virtual cassette' featuring six more songs recorded by MJ Hibbett at home. Highlights of this set include a patriotic call to drink ('Sod It, Let's Get Pissed') and the title track, a meditation on a childhood spent reading Marvel comics.
This is the first single from the band's forthcoming album 'WE VALIDATE!', featuring 11 other brand new songs.
