Movie Queen:
A smooth-grooved taste of mellow funk drawing influence from the instrumentation found in many forms of Hip Hop, Movie Queen is divided into three parts separated by door knockings on Ryhan Lovell's cajon. The song contrasts the presence of a superstar with everyday circumstance: "On the corner is a movie queen you have seen before".

Pathos surrounds the movie queen; she appears to be saved when her hero comes to the rescue knocking on her door, and the song runs to her defense with the line "To say that she's a sinner is a sin itself". All is not so easy for the unnamed protagonist: "If you've watched all her films, then you may need help".

The contrast of extreme (fame) and the ordinary (her street corner setting) follows smoothly from Pocket Money's juxtaposition of riots and normality. The song actually does not exclude the interpretation that the movie queen may in fact be a common, or even down-and-out, individual with extreme dreams and bad luck.
