The Associates - Party Fears Two

I hope you are sitting uncomfortably.

This song, which has all the calming effects of drinking five espresso in a confined space with people you don't trust, may be some of the brilliant neuroticism ever committed to record. Unbelievably, it's magnificent descending break was used as the introduction to Radio 4's bellicose "Week Ending".

The rather lovely Billy MacKenzie who wrote and sang "Party Fears Two" inspired the devotions of fellow neurotic Morrissey, who, in a rare state of passion, wrote "William It Was Really Nothing" for Billy. But Morrissey never created anything as mole hill paranoid and magnificent as this.
