XTC Outside World

From their 1979 album Drums and Wires

Lyrics:

She has six swans singing in her sauna
So she can't hear what's going on
No she can't hear what's going on
In the outside world
In the outside world
In the outside
Bad black and white men
Standing in their pigpen
Selling guns to simpletons
To shoot 'em in the abdomen
And she's not interested in that
And she's not interested in that
She has six swans singing in her sauna
Outside - world - outside

She has eleven lions laughing at her lakeside
So she can't hear what's going on
No she can't hear what's going on
In the outside world
In the outside world
In the outside
Bad brown and yellow men
Splitting on their fellow men
Drape her in a newspaper
And stab her with a poison pen
She's not interested in that
She's not interested in that
She has eleven lions laughing at her lakeside
Outside - world - outside

You can keep your animals
All the noise and the din
Just make a little space for me
I'm coming in

@ibates1616

Back away from the rap...get your hands on all the XTC you can...You will not regret it..

[rintintin7529]

actually Obama and james Cameron regularly do this at Karaoke

[papuanewguineapunkjr]

Goddamn, if there is anybody who has ever karaoke'd this song, I bet it would be at least a four star difficultly level.

[DJFucc1]

@32INCHSTRIPER Only half of that advice is good. Old rap is amazing. Listen to TRU, DJ Screw, Spice 1, A Tribe Called Quest

[Dave45582]

Classic 2 minute pop song-I've forgotten how good XTC are

[BagpipeHustler]

whoever says that Lennon was the first, knows Partridge was the second.

[MusicWriter1965]

@oldmusicrevisited Or, "She had six swans swimming in her sauna...."

[HollyUpOnPoppy]

Drums and Wires my first XTC well, cassette..........LOL. I was a convert and a fan of everything Partridge and Moulding to this day. A.P. is genius writer...............how he can sing the way he does floors me.................not to mention his guitar skills..........and now his own label. Just get him and Moulding together again, please!
