Notes

Martin Gore in Bong issue no. 37, 1998:

"It has been one of my all time favourite songs that we’ve ever recorded. I really like the words to it and the whole concept of having to lie to keep up appearances – maybe it’s better to do that. I just really like the whole subject matter of the song. I like the Terry Hoax version or the one by Dishwalla from the tribute album, which is another rock version. I just like the fact that, sometimes the potential of the songs is seen when they are performed in a more conventional format. I think a lot of the time, the songs are overlooked, disregarded or not taken seriously because of the instrumentation we’ve used."

Alan Wilder says on Shunt:

"With 'Policy [Of Truth]' it took forever to find a lead riff sound which worked. We even tried a flute at one point!"
