XTC - 08. Paper and iron.mpg

What truth in this song; their lyrics are always so full of truth; love the church connections; so conditioned to turn the other cheek, the meek shall inherit the earth. Humm go figure; invented to keep us passive + slaves. YEP!! . Love talking with the older generation + how their story is a repeat of our life now. WHAT a hoot. Time to have fun doing our passions; these guys should be top paid performers without the Entertainment controllers but ON their own.. Thanks for sharing these Gems. XTC

This is stunningly good.

Constant comparisons to The Beatles is not oranges and lemons, it's apples and oranges.

[becanshrman]

i feel like the audience is confused right now.

[collideascope]

Best rock band ever,after the Beatles

[SleepyTymeT]

Brilliant song, and well rendered here

[mannderzwiebel]

One of the most powerful songs I've heard.

[bandcouver]

This band has so much more to say than 99.9 percent of the overhyped bands out now.

[Fatimus]

I'm not the biggest fan of XTC, but I have to agree with you there. I don't think I've actually seen a band with more masterfully crafted lyrics.

[futuremason4301]

thats true man, before every show he freaked.

[maida1982a]

when I saw them in NYC in 1980, andy was a whirling dervish; when i heard that he had stage fright, i couldn't believe it. seemed to be anything but.

[fuckamericanidiot]

i think i love him even more for actually being terrified but not showing it. that takes guts

[punnypicycs]

This song is 1 of the " triumvirate " of XTC songs -- Paper & Iron...Love on a Farmboys Wages, & Earn Enough for Us ... which I feel , as a working Union man, truly speaks for anyone, like me, who struggles to raise a family...these 3 songs capture what a lot of people deal with

[bradbla]

did i mention that i care for this song and all of xtc songs

[bradbla]

capitalism is evil and carries its truck loads of made up currancy across the backs of the working masses no one should be payed simply for pushing a pencil

[bradbla]

working for the right to keep my tie on says it all

[bradbla]

i love this song people should really have more pride and not just be brown nosing suck asses trying to impress just for a few bits of change while the rich get richer

[blatspanner]

[leomcculloch]

fcking awesome. It gives me an adrenaline rush just watching this. Imagine being there. even better, imagine being on that stage. This looks like a classic gig.

[VonRichter]

I wish I could hear Terry's awesome drumming better on these vids... that guy was something else, freaking powerful like a steam engine

[scipio123]
