Hypocrite
Track four of Split, written by Miki Berenyi and issued as a single in May 1994.
Lush, from Split (1994)
Miki Berenyi wrote "Hypocrite", the fourth track of Split, 2:53. It was released as a single on May 30, 1994, the same day as "Desire Lines", and reached 52 in the UK. The single (AD 4008, with a 12-inch and CD) added "Love at First Sight" (a cover of the Gist's Stuart Moxham song), "Cat's Chorus" and a Spooky remix of "Undertow". The video was directed by Matthew Amos. Anderson said it could also have been on Lovelife.
Setlist.fm lists it in 100 setlists of 556, against 176 for "Sweetness and Light". They played it fourth at the Roundhouse in London on May 7, 2016, and at Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York on September 13, 2016, their first show in the city in about twenty years. We found no statement from the band on what it is about, and the studio is not documented per track.
