“Mocked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the playground, never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world” just brilliant. 🎶🎸👍

XTC were one of the best pop bands to come out of the 70s. When they music scene was desceding into slimey lounge lizardly new romantics, XTC provided interesting words and clever music. They stood the test of time for that reason.

What a way to take a fantastic song and turn it into an overblown swindle of noise. Drums especially sound horrible and the bridge is ruined. Travesty.

Kid, Stay and snip your cord off, Talk and let your mind loose, Can't all think like Chekov, But you'll be o.k. Kid, Is this your first time here? Some can't stand the beauty, So they cut off one ear, But you'll be o.k. Welcome to the garden of earthly delights. Welcome to a billion Arabian Nights. This is your life and you do what you want to do, This is your life and you spend it all. This is your life and you do what you want to do, Just don't hurt nobody, And the big reward's here, In the garden of earthly delights. Kid, Pick up with another, Some will even drop you, But hearts are built like rubber, So you'll be alright. Kid, Swallow but believe us, You won't die of boredom, Should you have to leave us, It'll be alright. Welcome to the garden of earthly delights. Welcome to a billion Arabian Nights. This is your life and you do what you want to do, This is your life and you spend it all. This is your life and you do what you want to do, Just don't hurt nobody, 'less of course they ask you, In the garden of earthly delights. Welcome to the garden of earthly delights. Welcome to a billion Arabian Nights. This is your life and you do what you want to do, This is your life and you spend it all. This is your life and you do what you want to do, Just don't hurt nobody, Welcome to the garden of earthly delights. Welcome to a billion Arabian Nights. This is your life and you do what you want to do, This is your life and you spend it all. This is your life and you do what you want to do, Just don't hurt nobody, Less of course they ask you, In the garden of earthly delights

This song is a serious lesson in songwriting. The doom of feeling let down by something that may or may not exist. Its the feeling of being human distilled into a pop song.

Panoramica Testo Ascolta Drowning here in summer's cauldron Under mats of flower lava Please, don't pull me out This is how I would want to go Breathing in the boiling butter Fruit of sweating golden Inca Please, don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow When Miss Moon lays down And Sir Sun stands up Me, I'm found floating 'round and 'round Like a bug in brandy in this big bronze cup Drowning here in summer's cauldron Trees are dancing drunk with nectar Grass is waving underwater Please, don't pull me out This is how I would want to go Insect bomber Buddhist droning Copper chord of August's organ Please, don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow When Miss Moon lays down (in her hilltop bed) And Sir Sun stands up (raise his regal head) Me, I'm found floating 'round and 'round Like a bug in brandy in this big bronze cup Drowning here in summer's cauldron drowning here (Drowning here in summer's cauldron) in summer's cauldron Drowning here in summer's cauldron (Drowning here in summer's cauldron) please, don't pull me out

Apparently this was recorded in the middle of a Swindon winter, according to the liner notes. It still has a hot summer vibe, though at a quicker tempo than the final album cut.

Awhile ago I checked this out hoping more of xtc’s songs would sound like making plans for Nigel, but this song annoyed me so much. I went on my Xbox a few weeks after and heard this song on the radio in sleeping dogs, and I was still pissed but couldn’t bring myself to turn it off. The next few days later I was walking up the hill singing to myself “1-2-3-4-5 senses working overtime”

Love the story about McCartney & Ringo & Japan. So funny. You never feel like a rock star, I guess. If you’re not a jerk, that is 😂
