[1] The single also includes an exclusive B-side, titled "Crushed Water."

Contents

"Stop the World" was included on the Japanese pressing of A Brief History of Love as a bonus track, as well as being one of two exclusive bonus tracks on the UK iTunes version of the album. The band "disowned" the track shortly after its release: "Ironically, it was because the track was deemed 'too poppy' by Cordell and Furze that it was dropped from the full-length." [2]
