Comment:

Made for this situation:

It's sunny and I'm about to make pasta in the kitchen upstairs. I can see mountains out the window... OK, they're just the Blue Mountains in Oz, so they're just big hills. I boil the water and add the stuff (ususally Mushroom & Wine) and stir it a bit. Then I have a smoke on the balcony, keeping an eye on the pasta through the window. When it's done I pour myself a drink and sit outside waiting for it to cool. After I've eaten, I sit back with a cigarette or two and enjoy the rest of the tunes, revelling in the joy of being a sheltered middle class white kid.

My fave track of Bill's is Permanent Smile (also off Dongs) which is kinda stupid because it's so different to his other stuff i.e. the only song without even a drop of cynicism/tongue in cheekiness.
