Taken from their album English Settlement. For me the best album of XTC (double album in the UK with the amazing track It's nearly Africa. Terry Chambers is a very good drummer).
David and his 12 string are just amazing. Terry hit's the skins so well. Only problem is can hardly hear Colin's Bass. Andy predates the use of voice all through a song, which is the norm now.
The music was just too clever too be understood by the masses , that's why they audience looks like WTF is this shit ! ! ! BETTER THAN THE BEATLES ! ! ! ! BEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF NOISE ! ! ! PERIOD ! .
Genius angry, despairing song. Andy Partridge is one of the finest songwriters this country has produced.
I first heard this when I was 16. (At a gig of theirs!). I thought: "That doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard before".
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with "Welcome" written on it.

GENIUS
👌Angry young men with huge talents! Grew up with their music, which has matured very well!👏👏
I've never heard them called Angry before.
seeing andy doing it live - I'm in awe.
One of the greatest 'pop' songs ever written…Why and how?…Well which other Band could have written it/performed it?!
Wonderful performance!
