A Reason Man egy Vince Clarke-szerzemény, ami engem kissé a Puppets-re emlékeztet. 1980-ban játszották néhányszor, ám 1981-re nem maradt a repertoárban és nem került fel sem a Speak And Spell nagylemezre, sem pedig B-oldalasként nem látott napvilágot. A DM Live Wiki oldalnak köszönhetően megvan a dal kissé politikus beütésű szövege is:
Not now, pressing tight
Children run, the mothers cry
All my dreams are wasting now
No more reason, I see this now
As I watch you from the road
My mind did open, the reason man
My mind did open, reason man
Government amusement, there's something to say
Propaganda, only today
They need someone known to hear
Manipulation is all to fear
Things were edging to the rise
See him laughing, the reason man
See him laughing, reason man
Everyone infected is paranoid
Old before the time
Blessed with the feeling we'll go grey
Shadow monsters will feed the flame
They're just calling, it's a rise
Now he's sending, the reason man
Now he's sending, reason man
