I didn't get where I am today

Most time I agree with their choice of singles but I think "Shameless" should have been a single, "For your own good" and "I didn' t get where I am today". Shameless is such powerful song and I can`t understand why it`s really hidden on the flipside of "Go West". "Fyog" should have been a single because it`s unusual for the the boys. It`s such a strong and powerful song and they have no one which is comparable. And the last one should have been a single because the public never expected them to do it.

For me, the only one I think really, really should have been a single was 'The Theatre' - would've appealed to the people who liked the big productions like 'It's A Sin'. A lost classic.

Yeah... "Two Divided by Zero" would probably have made a good single, at the time. Not only is it catchy, but it's (in my opinion) the best produced track on "Please".

Also, "It Always Comes as a Surprise" seems to have broad appeal among even non-PSB fans I have played the track to. It certainly would have been a way better single choice than "Single".
