  • Jacob, you've already told us. And still you're coming back to this song. Interesting,

  • Hi Jacob, I accept that you maybe don't like this video. But what's wrong with the song. Think it's one of the strongest ones on Skylarking. And besides I believe the composer (Andy Partridge) himself has this one on his own XTC top 10 list.

  • Why would a band or any artist want to sound like or be like everybody else?!? Its their individuality that makes XTC interesting. Go back to listening to Creed or Nicklecrack, for gods sake.

  • Only thumbing down because the video is lame and a song this amazing deserves better. XTC are the greatest.

  • Nice, Flipron are showing up in the suggestions bar.

  • This song is so well crafted. Listen the the parts apart and then together. The bass line, the drums, the piano, the flute, the brass embellishments, the "secret agent" guitar, topped off by Andy Partridge's flawless vocal work. Listen to it's dynamics, it sneaks it on flute and bogos, it winds itself up with the piano, it keeps a syncopated time with the drums, it gets brassy and loud with the horns, and then it sneaks back out on its flute with bongo feet. Cool Daddy-O!!!

  • The life size chess board was actually a temporary fixture used in the Prisoner. It is not actually there when you visit Portmeirion! When I first heard this track I was gobsmacked. It was a real rabbit from a hat moment - just when you thought XTC couldn't get any better they puttled this little beauty out of the deck. Its like bathing and then submerging in a giant fondu of Woodford Reserve!

  • XTC and The Prisoner together at last.

  • @MusicJew158 Because people seem to fall into 3 categories: 1) Those who get XTC, 2) Those who don't get XTC, 3) Those who REALLY don't get XTC.

  • A contrived video, but a great song, band, album.

  • This sis so COOOOOL! I love this song, neve5r knew there was a video for it! So so so... British! And retro, even for the day...
