"Homophobia" is a song from Chumbawamba's album Anarchy, concerning the topic of modern homophobia. It has remained a regular part of Chumbawamba's live set since it was first released, usually in an a cappella version, and is still performed by the current five-person acoustic version of the band. The version released as a single is very different to the album and live versions, having an upbeat synthesised backing, altered lyrics, and backing vocals by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

The B-side "Song for Derek Jarman" is a heavily reworked version of "Rage" from Anarchy. It quotes from Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night" and ends with a clip of Derek Jarman himself praising the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
