Sobre el álbum
La existencia de un álbum como Collection, Vol. 2 es la prueba definitiva de que el catálogo de una banda tiene una profundidad que va mucho más allá de sus éxitos más radiados. Este tipo de lanzamiento está claramente diseñado para el seguidor más completista, aquel que ya posee el primer volumen y desea explorar los tesoros menos conocidos. Su valor reside en sacar a la luz canciones de gran calidad que fueron eclipsadas por los sencillos más famosos.
En este disco, uno puede esperar encontrar temas de álbum notables, caras B interesantes o incluso versiones en directo que capturan la energía de la banda sobre el escenario. Es en estas canciones donde a menudo se encuentran los momentos más experimentales o personales de un artista. Un "Volumen 2" es una invitación a sumergirse de lleno en la discografía completa.
Aunque quizás no sea el punto de partida ideal para un nuevo oyente, "Collection, Vol. 2" es un lanzamiento esencial para comprender la verdadera dimensión artística de Spandau Ballet. Demuestra que su talento y su creatividad se extendían mucho más allá de las canciones que todos conocemos.

- Only When You Leave5:05
Letra
Laying in the after glow, I only want to learn what you know, But now you're leaving... How many hearts must you break? How many calls must I make? But now you're leaving... In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable But love is in your touch Ooh, it's killing me so much Only when you leave I need to love you And when the action has all gone I'm just a little fool enough to need you Fool enough too long Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger Oh, I'll make sure that you pay So give a little passion to a stranger And take this soul away I only want to make this things last, So how could this have gone so fast? And now you're leaving... How many times must I learn? It' s only when you've gone that I burn, And now you're leaving... In the end, all that I left has come unbearable It's hard to change your mind, So leave it all behind Only when you leave I need to love you And when the action has all gone I'm just a little fool enough to need you Fool enough too long Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger Oh, I'll make sure that you pay So give a little passion to a stranger And take this soul away - Heaven Is a Secret4:26
Letra
She'll sing a "West-Side" song you could be the boy in the film Heaven is a secret. Where are the "West-Side" boys? Fighting on the scaffold of love Scripted pleasures made forever Easier said then done together Heaven is a secret it's a passion it's a long way over there far from her arms tonight. Here is her model home listen to the call of the wild Heaven is a secret facts are awful shame the shadow of a doubtful affair scripted pleasures made forever easier said than done together Act One's the same as you read in the book could this be the thing that they shout about? No more in distress, now it's rushed through the door and you can't believe that the secret's out scripted pleasures made forever easier said than done together. Heaven is a secret it's a passion it's a long way over there far from her arms tonight. - I'll Fly for You5:34

Cheap bed, in the red Sleep the words out of your head Cold floor, nice and raw Eat the meat that’s on the floor High tide, some disguise Loving makes the cream taste nice New shore, final score On fresh demand, I’m wanting more This might not last too long So always take it This might not last too long So take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction You cry, justify But deep beneath the feelings lie Photo, looking old Memory makes the day feel cold They’ve gone, sing your song Walk the flow, ah, too slow Post boom, second doom Stealing cake to eat the moon This might not last too long So always take it This might not last too long So take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction It’s my instinction, hey Cheap bed, in the red You cry, justify Post boom, second doom Stealing cake to eat the moon Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction It’s my instinction, ohh Stealing cake to eat the moon - Confused4:35

Which way do I follow? I'm coming around Face it, boy; you've had your time to choose Come on now, you’ve got no time to lose All I get is, oh, what the hell it is All the things we say In the papers, read the papers Read them yesterday - Gently4:00
