White Flags is a pretty good pop song, though what it's doing on a BOC
album is sort of beyond me...  But aren't you forgetting Perfect
Water?  In spite of a couple of godawful verses ("Do you know Jacques
Cousteau?  Well he said on the radio...") I think it's actually the
best and most BOC-ish tune on that album.
