the two answers here are actually "Happiness" and "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" though

"Clowns" would be in contention were it not impossible to take serious a floaty meditative pastoral song whose central lyric is "only clowns would play with those balloons"

I loved their stage presentation during this era.

The swirls and swipes around "Cologne Cerrone Houdini"'s chorus gets my vote.

In a video interview with Blender, Alison Goldfrapp explained the lyrics (for Clowns):
Its about tits, basically. Fake tits. (…) I just happened to be watching a lot of trashy TV at the time and it seemed like every programme had a lady with huge, fake tits, and it’s slightly disturbing.
On Vanity Fair, she clarified:
It’s not a criticism. It’s just an observation.
