[mhochuli]

High climbs the summer sun
High stands the corn
And tonight when my work is done
We will borrow your father's carriage
We will drink and prepare for marriage
Soon my darling, soon my darling

[Chorus:] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping
How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages?

XTC - Love On A Farmboy's Wages

(this could go on for quite a while and I'm totally ok with that!)

[glokstadt]

See the lovers all gone crazy
looking for romance it seems
many sleepless nights will follow
some may lose but some succeed

Love at first sight
what they want is...
love at first sight

Make a play of lust intention
only just one thing in mind
make a slip could be forever
wedding bells, the shotgun kind

Love at first sight
what they want is...
love at first sight


[b]XTC - Love At First Sight[/b]


(Will go as long as it plays out M [:)]. '82 feel free to post non-XTC or XTC lyrics if you can. [:)])

Anytime you rise, I'm here,
And I'm crazy for you pink thing.
You make me want to laugh,
You make me want to cry,
When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.

I want to take you out and show you round the world,
Pink thing it'll be OK.
If I could only wake you from your slumber curled,
Pink thing what would straight folks say?

That man isn't fit to enter heaven.
That man is a sinner,
Ever burning in disgrace.
Pink thing, spit in my face,
I'd love you for it.

Anytime you call, I'll fall,
Into madness for you pink thing.
You make me want to live.
You make me want to die.
And when I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.

XTC - Pink Thing

caroline is really great
she serves the muck
upon a tray
and little rich boy don't you CRY
you kiss me in the anodyne
see the ceiling raining spit
the beach is backwards isn't it
india don't you cry
india see the ceiling raining tears
you will cry a thousand tears
all the women form a line
put your face upon a line
this is for the discotheque
this is stupid i object
and i love you and i love you
and please me please me please me
please me please me please me
please me please meplease me

"Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive"

[glokstadt]

Dear God,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
'Cause they don't get enough to eat

From God,
I can't believe in you.

Dear God,
sorry to disturb you,
but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
'Cause they can't make opinions meet,
About God,
I can't believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!


[b]XTC - Dear God[/b]

[wherewereuin82]

Must we live in fear,
From those who shed no tears?
Our one and only shelter,
Your games, your helter skelter.
Motorways and office blocks,
They're standing on the spot
Where stood a home,
Crushing on the memories of people,
Who have since turned to stone.
(Ahh)
They've turned to stone,
(Ahh)
They've turned to stone.
Save us from the ball and chain,
Save us from the ball and chain,
Save us from the ball and chain,


XTC - Ball And Chain


"Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive"

[glokstadt]

When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelter
You don't give me love, you give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I wanna be is completely in command

I've been here before, there is not why, no need to try
I thought you had it all, I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more (ask for more and more)
How can I be sure (how can I be)

When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelter
You don't give me love, you give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I wanna be is completely in command
(Completely in command)

You don't give me love, you don't give me love
You don't give me love, you don't give me love
You don't give me love, you don't give me love

[mhochuli]

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
How bright is the medical torch
When it's put in our hand
My microbes and I
Can't wait to lay down and die
We realise that we must be spent
Like the cells that dissolve when a brainwave is sent
How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
My bloodgroup and me
A body of soldiers are we
To the wound we quickly flowed
And we fought with the weapons in our
Chemical code
How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command

XTC - Chain of Command

[wherewereuin82]

So you're on the floor, at 54
Think you can last - at the Palace
Does your body go to the to and fro?
But tonight's the night - or didn't you know
That Ivan meets G.I. Joe

He tried his tricks- that Ruskie bear
The United Nations said it's all fair
He did the radiation - the CHEMICAL plague
But he could not win - with a cossack spin

The Vostok Bomb - the Stalin strike
He tried every move - he tried to hitch hike
He drilled a hole - like a Russian star
He made every move in his repertoire

When Ivan meet G.I. Joe


The Clash - Ivan Meets G.I. Joe


"Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive"

[mhochuli]

Empty hours
Spent combing the street
In daytime showers
They've become my beat;
As I walk from cafe to bar
I wish I knew where you are;
You sort of clouded my mind
And now I'm all out of time
Empty skies say try to forget
Better advice is to have no regrets;
As I tread the boulevard FLOOR
Will I see you once more;
Because you've colored my mind
'Till then I'm biding my time ...

Style Council - The Paris Match

[wherewereuin82]

That's right
When the planet isn't looking
It gets taken by surprise
That's right
What on earth is really happening
Is for you to realise
If the planet doesn't MIND
It must be alright
And if the planet doesn't care
It must be all square
When you live within the scenery
When you're hidden in the crowd
That's right
Doesn't matter what it seems to be
Now that anything's allowed
If the planet doesn't mind
It must be alright
And if the planet doesn't care
It must be all square

Brainiacs Daughter
Made me a suit of bricks and mortar
And a matching stove pipe hat, oh yes
Brainiacs Daughter
Took me on a sleigh ride underwater
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, yes Sir
Three bags full Sir
All across the land the bells ring out
It's night, sun shines bright
So I reach to hold her frozen hand in flight
As we alight in the bottle city of Kandor
Brainiacs Daughter
Talks like a Daily PLANET Reporter
Sitting cross legged there on the mat, oh yes
Brainiacs Daughter
Swallowed the pocket watch I bought her
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, Yes Sir
All fall down Sir
And I love the lights that blink on and off
All around her head
And I love the clothes that she tries on and off
Landing on the bed
Yes Sir, Yes Sir
Three bags full Sir

XTC - Brainiacs Daughter (Psonic Psunspot Version)

[wherewereuin82]

you can't even see now
so you ask me the way
you wonder if it's real
because it couldn't be rain...
through the right doorway
and into the white room
it used to be the dust that would lay here
when i came here alone

but i don't care if you don't
and i don't feel if you don't
and i don't want it if you don't
and i won't say it
if you don't say it first

doo doo doo doo
let's go to BED!
doo doo doo doo
let's go to bed!

"Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive"

[glokstadt]

haven't you ever felt this way before?
(with a perfect stranger?)
the look on her face, it just gives her away, she can't take any more
hoist up your white flag, call for a truce
try separation, we both stand to lose
she looks in your eyes as we say our goodbyes and she says

say you're sorry
say you're sorry (tell me, tell me)
say you're sorry (right from the heart)
say you're sorry
say you're sorry

[mhochuli]

I'm floating over strange land,
It's a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon.
I'm floating over strange land,
And then STRANGER still, there's no balloon.
But I'm getting higher,
Wafted up by fame's fickle fire 'til the...

Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.)
