Don't really care for this album but 'I Didn't See It Coming' is a favourite, one brilliant track is more than you get on most albums.

"Come On Sister" is as good as any of the good songs on the first 3LP/4EP golden era.
This whole run is some of Stuart at his most melodically daring:
"Don't touch meIf you touch me you could never go backFaithCome on, sister have a drinkHave a seat at the barTell me all about your menAnd your hopesAnd the hours of your life"
When I was on tw@tter ages ago, Stuart tweeted that he forgot how to play the song and he had to watch this youtube cover (the only cover of it on youtube) to relearn it and he was really impressed:
