Notes: Fast-paced punk track with stripped-down, precision-driven stops and starts, featuring intentional dissonance and serrated guitar textures that create a raw, energetic assault on the senses. Chord changes based on train station names add an unpredictable, fragmented structure amid the high-energy drive.

A punning musing on sex from Wire's debut album Pink Flag, characterized by its short, furious punk energy, key changes defying band rules, and minimalist art-punk deconstruction.
