November 2010, I come home from a record store with XTC's legendary concept album Skylarking in my hand, I listen to Skylarking for an hour, I go out to another record store, and buy the 12" Grass single for twenty dollars and this was on the b-side.
And of course, this was played all night at full volume.
@yankeekane I like this one too - it's not heard very much. I like it because it's very autobiographical by Andy. I can also relate to feeling this way!

Those are some wicked unusual guitar chords that open this number. That has to be some unusual tuning, I would guess.
I read Andy sang this while drunk. Apparently, he had to drink himself into extroversion. Whatever the case, the results are a thrill to hear.

Underrated band. I think this is their best song.
