 The lengthy "A Louse is not a Home" is a song about the nature of identity.It was originally written for Van der Graaf Generator's album following "Pawn Hearts", an album that because of the band's split never came to be.It features all of Van der Graaf Generator's ex-members and was (just like "In the Black Room" from the previous album) played live by the group already in mid 1972 (just before the split) and again with the reformed band in 1975.
