Wrote for luck or fondly known as just WFL, is arguably the best song they ever wrote. Thumping bass backed by howling loutish vocals make this a winner in my book:

Reportedly high on E's, they recorded their next album,
'Bummed' and released probably their best ever single, “Wrote For
Luck”. It was produced by Mancunian legend Martin Hannett, it featured
Shaun's football fan loutish singing style. They were apparently readily
taking ecstasy openly and are widely credited for introducing it to
the UK dance scene after a trip over to Ibiza. Handing it out at the
door of their gigs, soon helped establish them among hard core party
goers.

Some Cunt From Preston has to be one of the funniest
names for a song you are ever going to come across - everyone knows
some sad cunt from Preston - goes with the territory as they say.
