I think there's been a progression on every album and I think we've done it again. It's a strange mixture of songs. There's one about divorce, a song about schizophrenia, a song about wanting to rule the world, the inevitable money song, and an instrumental."[2] Reception[edit] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic 4/5 stars[3] Track listing[edit] Side One[edit] 01 "How Dare You" (Lol Creme, Kevin Godley) – 4:14 Eric – Steel guitar, lead guitar Kevin – Drums, congas, cow bell, bongos Graham – Bass, rizo-rizo Lol – Rhythm guitars, 12 string, lead guitar, clavinet, moog, marracas, sleigh bells 02 "Lazy Ways" (Lol Creme, Eric Stewart) – 4:20 Eric – Lead vocal, lead guitar, six string bass Graham – Acoustic guitars, tambourine, backup vocals Lol – Piano, clavinet, moog, tambourine, backup vocals Kevin – Drums, triangle, backup vocals 03 "I Wanna Rule The World" (Lol Creme, Kevin Godley, Graham Gouldman) – 3:57 Lol – Organ, piano, backup vocals, lead vocals Kevin – Drums, timpani, marracas, backup vocals Eric – Lead guitars, backup vocals Graham – Bass, backup vocals 04 "I'm Mandy Fly Me" (Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme) – 5:24 Eric – Lead vocal, lead guitar, piano, whistle, backup vocals Graham – Bass, zithers, double bass, six string bass, backup vocals Kevin – Drums, backup vocals Lol – Lead guitar, moog, vibes, backup vocals 05 "Iceberg" (Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley) – 3:43 Graham – Lead vocal, electric guitars, bass, backup vocals Kevin – 2nd lead vocal, congas, timpani, backup vocals Eric – Lead guitars, Levi zip Lol – Organ, gizmo, backup vocals Side Two[edit] 06 "Art for Art's Sake" (Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman) – 5:59 Eric – Lead vocal, piano, electric piano, six string bass, fuzz bass, lead guitar Graham – Electric guitars, cow bell, tambourine, backup vocals Lol – 2nd lead vocal, electric guitars, maracas, moog, recorder, backup vocals Kevin – Drums temple, blocks, backup vocals 07 "Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby" (Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart) – 3:58 Kevin – Lead vocals, drums, backup vocals Eric – 2nd lead vocal, lead guitar, pedal steel guitar, piano Lol – Electric guitars, backup vocals Graham – Bass, dobro, slide steel guitar, glockenspiel 08 "Head Room" (Kevin Godley
