From their 1992 album Nonsuch

Lyrics:

Then she appeared, apple Venus on a half open shell
Then she appeared, the first photograph on Fox Talbot's gel
I was a little frightened
Flying with my senses heightened
Cherubim cheered
When she appeared


Then she appeared, as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste
Then she appeared, pale Atlantis rising out of the west
I was a little dazzled
Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled
Know it sounds weird
Then she appeared


And the sun which formerly shone
In the clearest summer sky
Suddenly just changed address
Now shines from her blue eyes
Then she appeared, brittle shooting star that dropped in my lap
Then she appeared, dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap
I was a little troubled
Hookah with my senses bubbled
All Edward leared
Then she appeared


And the moon which formerly shone
On the marbled midnight mile
Suddenly just packed its bags
Now shines from her bright smile
Then she appeared
Out of nowhere

  • i've loved XTC since 1979 but i've never heard of the gilmore girls - i feel like the odd one out after reading all the comments.

    at least the younger generation are being exposed to the genius that is andy partridge. you all really need to check out fuzzy warbles.

  • @hejafish from Gilmore Girls

  • Who are Rory and Jess?

  • Proof once again that the writers of Gilmore Girls were enthusiasts of great music. The fact that they used this song and "Thirteen" by Big Star kinda blew my mind.

    This is a masterpiece of a song. XTC = the modern Beatles. Genius stuff.

  • Do you people even realize that the Gilmore Girls weren't real? Jeezus.... Enjoy the song for what it is, a masterpiece...

  • Rory and Jess are so good together. I just watched the episode when he left Stars Hollow without telling her :(  So sad. I love Gilmore Girls!

  • OK, let's cut out all the Gilmore Girls BS for a minute and talk about the actual f'n song. This is one of my favorite XTC tunes, and just another example of how consistently awesome these guys were throughout their entire existence.

  • they are talking about Rory Leigh Gilmore(aka rory from gilmore girls!) love gilmore girls!!!
