'Galilee' and 'Boyfriend' are two tracks that didn't fit into the Babydoll LP and perhaps were a touch cheery for the maudlin content of said 12" disc. 'Galilee' was recorded in an old office near Fremantle and finished in an industrial unit in Bayswater, in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia. It's the tale of a cool rock chick named Mary who lived in the Middle East a very long time ago. 'Boyfriend' is more of a studio confection. It is narrated by a soon to be ex-boyfriend whose mixture of sensitivity, honesty and forwardness is alchemised into a quasi-sadistic poison. Remind you of anybody?
