From their 1992 album Nonsuch
Lyrics:
Fine art never moved my soul
No vintage wine designer clothes
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
A different kind of tinsel
Decorates my tree
Yes my bird performs
A thousand Cheshire cats
Grin inside of me
Yes my bird performs
There she goes
Shakespeare's sonnets leave me cold
The drama stage and the high brow prose
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
The brightest fireworks
Are lighting up my sky
Yes my bird performs
The cage is open
But she's no desire to fly
'Cause my bird performs
There she goes
And you keep saying what you got
You keep saying what you got
Look out!

Erm, no. Bit of a weird thing to say on here! Anyway, I'll humour you...did you mean flashing my headlights or flashing a particular part of my anatomy?? Or, is it a particular line featured in this song?? Am I missing something? Pray tell!

@hufclufc And why not?

@UchronianKing were you the guy who was flashing in his car on the way to Shrewsbury?
-
@hufclufc There are over 500! Check out the Chalkhillsdotrorg site (slash reelbyreal, links not allowed?)
I've just re-discovered them after over 20 years in the wilderness! I feel like Alexander Selkirk!

Another great Moulding Classic!! Nonsuch was actually the first XTC album I bought, on a whim, before heading to Shropshire for a brief holiday. Whenever I listen to Nonsuch, it reminds me of that particular time - and Shrewsbury. I'm going to go back there again and take some XTC with me!

How humbling their music is. A trip to the Lovre.

Such a perfect song! I always think of Springtime when I hear this.
