Yes - I know it's getting slightly ridiculous - but the penultimate track is an interesting one, as it's often where some of the weakest songs are buried.
Your choices are:
  • Dial-A-Cliché
  • (I'm) The End Of The Family Line
  • I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
  • The Lazy Sunbathers
  • Best Friend On The Payroll
  • He Cried (taking the UK tracklisting as the 'official' one)
  • I Like You
  • I Just Want To See The Boy Happy
  • Sorry Doesn't Help
  • Mountjoy
  • Who Will Protect Us From The Police?
  • Lenny's Tune
  • The Secret Of Music

Apart from WWPUFTP, which is a truly horrendous song, this is a very strong collection of songs. Sure, Mountjoy and ILY aren’t among his best stuff, but they’re definitely ok. And the rest is really great.
 
I like how the only peeps replying to this thread are the ones that are edoukated enuff to know straight off what "penultimate" means... :cool:
