Quite an enjoyable song, wherein Dean inevitably fails in love yet again, but hides his pain by pretending he's the king of Spain.
Although this was just originally the b-side to the "Tugboat" single, it has appeared at the end of every re-issue of the Today LP since the early 1990s, and it's really a perfect ending to a near-perfect album. So here's one case of a bonus track that actually doesn't hurt the running order of the original album (my vinyl copy is a 1989 European reissue and unfortunately does not contain "King of Spain.")
