The B-side was a concert favorite "£.s.d",[1] the meaning of which was clear when sung as a chorus "yes I need L.S.D." not pounds, shillings and pence.[2] The title was a play on abbreviations by writers Phil May and Dick Taylor, though May would admit later years that the song is about LSD. The song was reissued titled as "LSD" on the CD reissue of the album Get the Picture?. The song was covered by UK garage punk band the Cannibals in 1983.
