You're Not Supposed To
[edit]The album opener, "You're Not Supposed To", was later released as a single with a video depicting the band performing in a Northern England pub as the patrons form a large conga line and some join in playing instruments with the band. The single features a typographical cover similar to that of the album, but with larger text displaying the lyrics to the song rather than information on the band's history.
- "You're Not Supposed To" – 2:37
- "You're Not Supposed To" (The Matinee Orchestra Remix) – 3:26
- "You're Not Supposed To" (video) – 2:33
