Other singles released from this album were "Animal Army", which reached 17 in the charts, and "The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes", which reached 32.

“Physical love, so unjustly decried, forces everyone to manifest even the smallest bits of kindness he possesses, of selflessness, that they shine in the eyes of all who surround him.”
