Escape is at hand for Escape is at Hand.
Good song, but I never rated it with those other three, and still don't. "Penguin" is one of the best songs about family and parenting I've ever heard, and the other two are glorious, bona-fide, all-time-classic Hip masterpieces.
I just want to pause a moment and pay respects to "Thompson Girl," which seems to be a sadly overlooked cut even among the die-hards. A charming song with a great conceit - lovers snowed in for the winter - and a lovely, intimate recording of the sort I rather wish the Hip had done more of. It certainly didn't deserve to make the final cut, but it does deserve some sort of eulogy.
