Sailing On The Seven Seas was developed from the distinctive drum rhythm that came into Andy's head when he was out walking.

Sugar Tax was originally scheduled to be the title track for the album of the same name. Andy had been working on the track during the same week that he had been working on the track Pandora's Box. Realising that Pandora's Box was potentially a single, he concentrated soley on that track. This meant that Sugar Tax was incomplete at the time of the album's release.
 

The title Sugar Tax refers to everything sweet having a price, particularly in relationships.
