Boring?! boring?! You're obviously using a sense of the word "boring" I
wasn't previously aware of (to paraphrase Arthur Dent...)

Quite.

Arrrggghhhh! IMHO, TBS is by far the *best* thing on side A. Of course,
the video makes it even better (wish they didn't fade it out so soon
on TWS though). Ok, so the chant "Rolling over like a big, big
cloud!/Walking out in the Big Sky!" (which is what I hear, but isn't
what IED has in his lyrics - anybody have other variations?) could
possibly be described as repetitive, but if you're not in a kind of
euphoric stupor by that point in the track, it's obviously just me,
