In Purgatory [unknown] notes: Released in 1985 as McCarthy's first (unofficial) single. A studio version is said to be included on A La Guillotine and a 1987 compilation disc. Malcolm: The thing I like best about this is the opening and the end, during which Tim ran a violin bow across the strings of his guitar. The subject of the song is marriage as a trap. See here.
