Kirk wrote Felicity. An early version, taken from a tape of a Teviot Row House gig in Edinburgh that Malcolm Ross had recorded, became the flexi-disc given away with the first 963 copies of Falling and Laughing. The band played it in a Richard Skinner Radio 1 session on 19 January 1981, and it appears on You Can't Hide Your Love Forever at 2:34.
The Wedding Present covered it. When Kirk and Daly joined Collins on stage in Glasgow on 27 September 2025, Felicity and Blue Boy were the encore.
