After just listening to a few complete duds from outside my era, great to hear a classic again .
This is up there with the best.

Sublime in every way. I imagine this could have been a second single from “On the level” if they had gone for a second one from that album. Shame it didn’t stay in set longer or hasn’t re appeared since..

Bordering on the best thing they ever did. A genuine classic and one of my all time favourites. Easily top 5 and very probably top 3. Lucky enough to see them do it live. And even luckier to see Francis rehearse the riff during a soundcheck in the afternoon. They've always been brilliant but they might well have peaked artistically round about this time. Always up for debate of course but did it get any better? Occasionally but not consistently. I mean, this track is followed immediately by Over And Done. I consider myself very spoilt to have been there

Funny this one has largely passed me by. Just goes to show how differently fans are wired up! It has a great lyric though.

Always saw it as solid and very good, was never a favourite
Over the years it has continued to grow on me,then again so has most of OTL
Francis I think peaked with OTL

A great favourite of mine, I actually find the lyric a little romantic & it always makes me think of my wife.
