I've worked in TV as a cameraman for years now..mainly in sport (boxing in particular covering 3000 fights in the past 12 yrs) ..it all started here on this video!!! Phil Tunnicliffe

My friend who was listening to XTC with while driving around the suburban communities of Maryland summed up this band as best as anyone could and he is a novice XTC fan: "There is a lot of music in this music"

@julesplym

I could not have versed this any better! I now have an adult perspective of their art and it is more prescient than I could have imagined. They are in the same league as Dylan, but less prolific, and we can almost understand the lyrics about 70% of the time!

@derektheburster I would like to distance myself from this xenophobic and hate fuelled diatribe. Hopefully youtube will find some way of removing this racist garbage. Visit any "all whote" relatively affluent provincial town or village throughout the UK to find the sort of repulsive, materialistic driven attitudes I am talking about.

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 I would suggest England as we know this once great country, has been degraded, vilified, and raped by the immigrants from east europe, and pakistan/india. These parasites produce nothing, they suck the lifeblood of the country, & breed vermin. If you have to blame someone, then lay the blame at Heath's door, he was in power when the scum from uganda, began arriving here in 1971. great band tho.

@nedison i imagine it represents father time being seduced by a sexual entity hired by the corrupt town planners and property developers to rid the country of its architectural heritage.
