It is featured over the closing credits.

    Release

    Balls was not a success in terms of chart performance and failed to match the performance of Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins. It did not chart in Germany, UK or US. The album was packaged in a translucent jewel case that came in 4 colours (red, yellow, green, and blue) with a reflective die-cut silver slipcase.

    "More Than A Sex Machine", "The Calm Before The Storm" and "The Angels" were released as singles but did not pick up any significant sales or radio play.

    Re-issue

    In 2008, Sparks' own record label Lil' Beethoven Records reissued the album in a digipak sleeve, featuring different sleeve-art and with two bonus tracks; "The Calm Before the Opera" and "The Calm Before the Storm (Full Length Instrumental)".

    Balls

    by: Elizabeth Cook

    If you don't like the way things are
    You can wish upon a star
    There's always tomorrow
    Things don't work out like you planned
    And you've had all you can stand
    There's always tomorrow
    Oh on your bad days there's always tomorrow
    You got the whole world by the tail
    And it seems like you can't fail
    There's always tomorrow
    Oh on your best days there's always tomorrow
    (Instrumental)
    When you finally leave this place
    This'll be your saving grace
    There's always tomorrow
    Oh on your bad days there's always tomorrow
    And on your best days there's always tomorrow
    Oh and come what may, there's always tomorrow
    (Instrumental)
