In the middle eight, the band sings 'bizarre', which seems to sum up the initial impact of the first listens to the album. "Bitters End" was not performed live often, however Roxy Music did perform it on 23rd June 1972 for John Peel on the BBC sessions.

Two cover versions of this song are on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack: one by Venus In Furs and one by Andy Mackay and Paul Kimble.
