"Free Things For Poor People" is the second single to be culled from Infadels recently released second album "Universe in Reverse" and was, apparently, conceived from a T-shirt slogan spotted by keyboard player Richie Vernon. 

Free Things For Poor People is built around an insistent keyboard pulse with a chorus that is tailor made for a bit of a festival sing a long, and if you think of Sparks and James in a strange sound clash situation then  you've got an idea of how this quirky tune sounds. I much prefer the angular guitar and strident drums of the Gang of Four-esque "Godzilla" and the Placeo like "Like Tomorrow and the Day Before" but "Free Things For Poor People" is a more obvious choice of single for the masses and that's what its all about at the end of the day
