Info from the liner notes of the 1990 'Two Crabs Universal' CD reissue of A Can of Bees (Don't know if the Egyptians song really dates from the Soft Boys days, or maybe Robyn recycled the title?)

I have included what details I can remember of the 'missing' second SB's album. This is not the 'legendary' Radar album ('legendary' only because it was too bad to release) but a series of songs recorded between "A Can of Bees" and "Invisible Hits" that for various reasons never came out, tracks as follows.

SO YOU THINK YOU'RE IN LOVE - One of the best things I wrote. It was a bit personal at the time, so I over-dubbed it all myself and didn't play it to anybody. It was erased by a horde of bass drum tracks in early '79.

Lyrics

So you think you're in love
Yes, you probably are
But you wanna be straight about it
Oh, you wanna be straight about it now

So you think you're in love
Yes, you probably are
But you wanna be straight about it
Oh, you wanna be straight about it now

Can you imagine what the people say?  Can you?
But the silent majority is the crime of the century
You know it

Are you sure that it's wise?
No, you probably ain't
You don't wanna be faint about it
Oh, you shouldn't be faint about it now

By the look in your eyes
No, you probably ain't
But you shouldn't be faint about it
Oh, you gotta be faint about it now

What is love made of?
Nobody knows
What are you afraid of?
Everyone knows
It's love
It's love

So you think you're in love
Yes, you probably are
But you wanna be straight about it
Oh, you gotta be straight about it now

So you think you're in love
Yes, you probably are
But you wanna be straight about it
Oh, you gotta be straight about it now

So you think you're in love
Yeah
