Though in all honesty, I could probably survive on just 1, 2, and 3.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

In order starting with my favourite of today:-

1. King Of America
2. Spike
3. Punch The Clock
4. Imperial Bedroom
5. Get Happy

The first three and Get Happy I just remember playing over and over again on their initial release. Imperial Bedroom was more of a grower.
It was as much of the alphabet as I knew how to use.

I've always invisioned the woman I marry to have Blood and Chocolate listed as their alltime favorite album.

It just seems right.

For the desert island just one choice, Punch the Clock, as it contains 'Shipbuiding.' :wink:

I guess there are two good reasons why we'll not be getting married then!

But what about Armed Forces? Couldn't I sneak it in the waistband of my pants, in my shoe, something?
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on
