- "Dear God" is a song by Andy Partridge. It originally appeared as a B-side to the "Grass" 12" single in 1986, but some radio stations began playing "Dear God" instead, making it an unexpected hit. It was then made into its own single and placed on a quick re-release of the Skylarking album, replacing "Mermaid Smiled". Recent re-releases include both tracks, with "Dear God" indicated as the bonus. The single reached No. 15 on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart. The band demo appeared on the 2002 Coat of Many Cupboards box set. A skiffle version appeared on Andy's Fuzzy Warbles Volume 5 in 2004.
