Great song by Andy Partdige from Fuzzy Warbles: Disk 2:
drank a rainbow but I could not get me drunk
All I could get me was blue,
Red round the eyes where I cried bout how green I'd been
Regarding you
And all the works you do

I took a jet plane but I could not get me gone
All I could get me was here,
Stuck in the terminal, temperatures crashing in our atmosphere
No parachute hangs near

And I don't want to find myself this way again
I don't want to pick the thorny rose
I don't want to let love spoil the day again
But it may again, who knows
I don't wanna be here

I smoked a forest but I could not get me lost
All I could get me was found
Gretel skips home and I roam on my hands and knees upon the ground
Our candy house melts down

And I don't want to find myself this way again
I don't want to pick the thorny rose
I don't want to let love spoil the day again
But it may again, who knows

Swallowed a mountain, but I could not get me high
All I could get me was low
Really marked down in your sale of the century
And we all know
That everything must go

And I don't want to find myself this way again (I don't wanna...)
I don't want to pick the thorny rose
I don't want to let love spoil the day again
But it may again, who knows

(repeat)

I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
(where'd you wanna be, who'd you wanna be with, where'd you wanna be)

  • Pop genius. Artists should be lining up to have Andy produce them.

    WTF ????????????????

    Goodbye Humanosaurus

  • @xnonsuchx Thanx for the background info! :^D

  • @highflyer68 - Yeah, the demo was around since before Nonsuch, but they more professionally recorded it and released it as an online 'single' in 2005.

  • @xnonsuchx That song was conceived around the time of nonsuch but Apple Venus comes after that so I'm not too sure aout that. Any light you can shed would be appreciated.

  • @highflyer68 - I think the last 'official' XTC song was Colin's "Where Did the Ordinary People Go?"

  • Wow this had disappeared from Youtube for a while. So glad it's back!

    Is this the last official XTC song?

  • Ah...the genius that is Andy. Thanks for posting this - it may be my favorite Fuzzy Warble yet.

  • why is my comment "spam"? Been listening to XTC for 30 years..........wanna say, how dare you, sir.

  • I don't Want to Be Here.
