Yeah I think it has to be the phone in Clarke’s pocket rubbing against him. According to Wikipedia- The first is a recording of McCoy during a drug deal. Around the time of recording Sunbather, McCoy was addicted to pharmaceutical opiates and Clarke wanted to record one of his drug deals to include something that was very personal to his fellow band member.

It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world. There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster, no place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing...you see, and, uh, I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and...uh, you know, I feel very bad, but people from all over the world came here...from all over the world...it was the playground they called it the playground of the world...over here. Anyways, you see, I...uh...you know...I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me...on the...on the beach, and we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight..they don't do that anymore. Things changed...you see. They don't sleep anymore on the beach.

The sound of the MUNI bus pulling and it's brakes squealing leaped out at me. Very San Francisco.

GYBE worship or not, I find the atmosphere of this track to be perfect for it's place in the album. It really feels appropriate as the penultimate track to me.

Nice tags [2] Apperantly they recorded the guitarist buying Opiates and a crazy guy in SF and overlapped them for this song.

"Did they record themselves buying weed?" WIkipedia has this to say: "Around the time of recording Sunbather, McCoy was addicted to pharmaceutical opiates and Clarke wanted to record one of his drug deals to include something that was very personal to his fellow band member. Clarke commented on the content of 'Windows,' stating: 'Thematically, it's supposed to be about this guy talking about the evils of hell intermixed with one's own personal hell and the actual realities like addiction and self-worth, not the fire and brimstone. [McCoy] didn't have a lot of money, and he was kind of desperate; he's showcasing the true horrors that are here on earth—one's own personal demons.'"

I walked up to the goddamn bench and I hand him my twenty-five dollars up and I says, "There's my money, now I am leaving." And I left it at that...
