Lyrics:
Aaah aaah etc...

(Screaming) Get back... get back!

Notes:
The first single from Dead Cities, My Kingdom's album version (on the back cover as My Kingdom+) is a darker and more sinister mix than the EP version, but also seems a lot messier and less refined too. Lacking most of the synths and the stunning breakdown-structure of the single mix, the track is more immediate but confusing on the album. The track was formed simply by collaging a number of the band's favourite samples - the Ozric Tentacles guitar sample was swapped with the band for a copy of Cubase. Gaz explains:
"Brian and I used to survey the rolling park that lay under our gaze as we sat on a small hillock in the park round the corner from the studio - it became a tradition to sweep a hand across the rolling vista like a roman emperor mounted on a beautiful white stallion and announce "My kingdom". I was working at home having just set up The Womb, and began sampling a bit of Morriconen ozric tentacles, etc. The essence of a track emerged, the elements were taken to Earthbeat and suddenly with drums taken from another track played on by Richie from Dif Juz (a band we loved on 4AD) and some vocals snatched by Brian from a VHS of Dladerunner the track was complete". The track first appeared in the 1995 Peel Session with a faster, more drum'n'bass-like breakbeat behind it.
The mix of My Kingdom that appears on ISDN Show is a mix of the album version and the EP version. It features elements of different mixes of the song, but most obviously it features the synth breakdown that the EP version has. At five minutes, many believe it should have been the mix on Dead Cities. The track on ISDN Show is incorrectly titled "Womb" due to the out of sync tracklist.
On the band's best of compilation, Teachings From The Electronic Brain, the version featured was an exclusive five minute edit of My Kingdom (Part 1).
