Thank you very much for the upload!

Terry's drumming is just amazing, propulsive.

So fucking cool

Back in the 80s I bought the EP with Sences Working Overtime and this song which I loved. What happened to this song ? It doesn't seem to be available anywhere except maybe vintage vinyl . I've also tried looking on Spotify and Amazon Music. But no luck.

I would also hate to be stuck in Greta Britain, good song!

Take This Town Called Malice

A jewel

"if you want to know what nothing looks like, well just pull back my chest and take a look inside heeerreee" tell me another band can be so genius

I'm unbecome, I cease to be You are the mirror reflecting me I'm unbecome, I atomise You are the warm air 'neath my lark rise Oh what's to be done? I'm now a cinder where once I was the sun Now you're not here, I'm unbecome I'm unbecome, I melt away You are the morning of everyday Oh what's to be done? I'm now a stumbler where once I'd skip and run Now you're not here, I'm unbecome I've forgotten how to smile and laugh and I won't show up on your photograph I'm unbecome, I dissipate You are the fresh bread upon my plate Oh what's to be done? My heart was cloud light but now it weighs a ton Now you're not here I'm unbecome Now you're not here I'm unbecome

This song was clearly the foundation for "Merely a man" on Oranges and Lemons

Bought the Senses Working Overtime EP when it first came out and ended up enjoying this almost as much. Hypnotic chorus has stayed with me all these decades.

I remember this from Trouser Press. My brother use to get the magazine when I was young

Great English group very different lyrics but great!

i would have loved africa to join XTC's set, such a rhythmic song

Shudda been a Number One Song.

Colin was overall the best member of XTC

Is this the right tempo were at?

One of the best earworms ever…

Bought the "Mayor of Simpleton" 12" in high school and loved this B-side, as well as the bonkers Captain Beefheart cover "Ella Guru."

Xtc is the greatest band in the 🌎

Do do do do do do do

This may be the greatest song ever

Even XTC's B-sides or outtakes are better than most bands songs !! 👍

I’m living in my smokeless zone My house is not a happy home I got to do something ‘fore I kick the bucket I’m living in this smokeless zone I clean my dusty windowsills Everything I grow it kills I don’t want to stay in this street any longer Living in this smokeless zone England’s green, once so pleasant land Living on a time bomb yeah The whole damn place is going to turn to sand Bah bah I cough upon my wheezy chest My penicillin does it best There’s only 1 cure for an unhealthy body Get out of this smokeless zone

Times Square was the first movie I saw. I remember that this song of the insert song was very shocking.😊

should have gone on english settlement instead of leisure

Beautiful song. Sadly lost on a B side.

Dear God is a 'banger' check it out.

1:47 wheel and maypole?

Apple Venus Vol 1 is unimprovable. But I wish this could somehow have been on it too! Love, love, love.

more acoustic and XTC-sounding, less generic

The drumming is better on this version but i much prefer the guitar stuff on the Final album version

I bought this at Virgin Marble Arch. I got really pissed off and Frisbee the 12 inch from my balcony. Teen angst 🤧

Great Find, ....Thank You!

Reminds me of Pokémon Snap

"...splinters scraped from the bottom of the barrel," says Colin. AND I LOVE IT

One of my all-time favorite XTC songs. The fact that it is the final bonus track on their least popular LP and thus forever relegated to obscurity is an absolute crime.

Wow! That's really really poor man.

Nice indeed

Really great!!! Never heard this. Easier to understand the vocals, but quality of instrumentation better in actual album. It’s great to enjoy the differences between the two. I am so sad that this was their last!

Had this disc in 82 where were you when I was there?

My god, my kingdom for any service to stream this song. I've been waiting for years for this song or the Times Square soundtrack to become available on Spotify, Apple or Amazon and it just. will. not. happen. I mean, it's not even on any available XTC comp. Thank god I have it on vinyl.

Friday 's heaven gives releave.

".............................is this the right tempo we're at at the moment" (if you know, you know).

It's impossible to 1) be an XTC fan, and 2) have a cat, without 3) singing this at them from time to time. (see also Tissue Tigers).

I'd forgotten just how good this one was. Quintessential early-DG-era XTC.
