Go Ahead Lyrics
Forensic evidence proves
By the profile of the grooves
A serious intent
For the incident
Length and context betwixt
Start events, eventual exit
Advertising communicates
Radio players hesitate
Critical acclaim cannot explain
The extent of the sales
Or why this one pales
In comparison
In comparison with what?
You may well ask
Go ahead
The new single after entering the chart at 75 and in receipt of increased marketing activity plus the few daytime plays on national radio has responded with increasing sales in the chart return shops reflected by next week's chart entry into the top 40 at 27 thus there has been increased daytime play which is coupled with the fact that the promotional video has been well received by all local TV producers guarantees us greater media coverage not to mention what we are doing with the publications. Are there any questions?
Gentlemen the sales force is to be congratulated on its efforts. Is there any other business? No?

Genius Annotation
“Go Ahead” is the B-side to the 1979 single Map Ref. 41°N 93°W.
It was released only on the 1989 reissue. It, along with all other bonus tracks, were removed from the 2006 reissue of Chairs Missing because the band felt it diluted the “conceptual clarity of the original statements”. The track was engineered by Daniel Priest, produced by Wire, and composed by Robert Gotobed, the band’s drummer.
