I've listened to this album far more than any other EC album, and for the life of me, I can't remember any song on it named New Lace Sleeves.
For my money, "Big Sister's Clothes" is the standout, followed closely by Strict Time and Lover's Walk.
As a teenaged Squeeze fan, I wanted to love the Glenn Tilbrook duet far more than I ever did.

Update:
Listening now, and "New Lace Sleeves" still feels pretty unmemorable to me.

This is his first and best "grown-up" record.

I like the space -- that bass and organ recall "Ghost Town" -- and the mysterious lyric.
