Notes
In the 1982-01-21 issue of Smash Hits, Andy Fletcher says:
"On the new B-side, 'Reason To Be' [working title, ed.], we tried to sound… really… mean! Didn't work though."
Lyrics
Now, This Is Fun
Here speaks the voice of reason
It's talking to me
Loud and clearly
And obviously
It's something to say
Here comes another sentence
It is relentless
It tries my patience
But nevertheless
It's for our concern
We can't see the benefits
So we'll ignore it
Or disobey it
And then we'll say that
This is fun
This is real fun
This is fun
