"A Life Less Ordinary" was a non-album single released by the band Ash on 13 October 1997.

Maybe this makes me sound completely mad, but I have this thing about music coming from a higher place.

The song was remixed in a slightly heavier fashion for the Japanese and US versions of Nu-Clear Sounds.

The first B-side, "What Deaner Was Talking About," is a cover of the song by Ween from the album Chocolate and Cheese.

The (CD only) track, "Halloween" also appears on Cosmic Debris, but is much slower paced, telling a tale of loneliness on Halloween night until the subject finally reunites with their friends at the end of the song.

The directors Hammer & Tongs directed the video for the single, which consists of the band playing on a racetrack inside a heart-shaped area marked with crash barriers.
