I've loved XTC since 82', but this was a new one on me until I came across your post - thanks so much . It's like hearing a classic new Beatles track when you thought you knew them all. It's my current fave - brilliant stuff! Thank you, thank you, thank you.....

Some of my favourite Partsy lyrics. I Love this song.

"I can only see this wreck with the aid of a drink and a mirror

She may looks scenic from the shore but you don't want to come any nearer"

For him to write this about his own band shows how miserable they were being tied to their one-sided contract with Virgin.

Wouldn't it have been cool if they made videos for these songs. Instead we're stuck looking at cover art :-(

I wonder if this song sounded too happy to be included on Apple Venus Volume 1...

[tronflynn3]

Ya know, that's a very good point.

Considering "Easter Theatre", I doubt it. A much likelier explanation is financial constraints.

@brentjohnpalmer speaking of easter theatre, i actually left my body briefly always at the end it seems with these things called songs. last time was on figure 8's cant make a sound exactly 10 years ago. wondering now if this phenomena can only be put into the universe in a studio with multiple tracks of similar sounds i think that's whats going on here in the easter theatre. like enya with a brain and a soul.

@Watchtower7 It's actually an extremely sad song if you know the meaning behind it
