background
This was one of three demos Mick gave to Jim on cassette in early 1981. The first two eventually became Sons And Fascination and Seeing Out The Angel. The third was elusive, and as Jim tried to write lyrics for it, it became known as The Third Track.

It was recorded under the demo title of Dexy's. Most of the session tapes for the album use this title.

It was officially released as Theme For Great Cities.
