Tim wrote "Pink Flag: Three Girl Rhumba, Strange, Feeling Call Love"
I'm quite amused by the fact that Tim has chosen two of my four least favourite Pink Flag songs there (er, not the one Elastica made a short career out of). Actually deciding which songs are the best on that album is nigh on impossible except that I reckon REUTERS is the best due to the ominous apocalyptic truthfulness of its vision.

I’ll not bother interpreting; just lay out the basic facts! Though some results may be ‘odd’ due to some people owning CD versions with bonus tracks & others the original vinyl.
