XTC - The Big Express: Wikipedia Album Entry
XTC's seventh album, First album without Terry Chambers on drums. Originally released in 1984, Andy Partridge describes this album as "A loco derailing itself in the rusty goods yard. An altogether more industrial affair. Slashing electric guitars, sheets of steel bass and diesel oil drums. An iron opera, steam powered and brick encased.”

XTC - The Big Express Lyrics
XTC - All You Pretty Girls Lyrics
Do something for me, boys
If I should die at sea, boys
Write a little note, boys
Set it off afloat, saying
XTC - Washaway Lyrics
Mother's in the kitchen steaming up the window panes
Smell of boiling cabbage comes up from an open drain
But no amount of scrubbing could ever shift a gravy stain
XTC - Train Running Low on Soul Coal Lyrics
Me train running low on soul coal
They push pull tactics are driving me loco
They shouldn't do that, no, no, no
They shouldn't do that
XTC - The Everyday Story of Smalltown Lyrics
Smalltown, snoring under blankets
Woken by the clank
It's just the milkman's dawn round
XTC - Shake You Donkey Up Lyrics
Here he come again
Dress in all that skin
Like he was still human being
XTC - Reign of Blows Lyrics
Reign of blows, reign of blows
Reign of blows cascading down upon your shoulders
Far too many men dressed up as soldier
XTC - Red Brick Dream Lyrics
Red brick dream, windows scream
As the rusting North Star shines above
And drops its iron beams
Crashing down upon the roofs of Swindon Town
XTC - I Remember The Sun Lyrics
Hot as golden sand in fields
We whiled away the hours
I'm thinking of the days we had
Enormous super powers
XTC - I Bought Myself a Liarbird Lyrics
I bought myself a liarbird
He came with free drinks just to blur
The lies falling out like rain
On an average English summer's afternoon
XTC - Blue Overall Lyrics
Blue overall
Overall the rooftop's blue birds fly apart
Blue overall
Overall the bones that cage this stupid heart
XTC - Wake Up! Lyrics
You put your cleanest dirty shirt on
Then you stagger down to meet the dawn
You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss
You know it keeps you born
XTC - This World Over Lyrics
Ah well, that's this world over
Ah well, next one begins
Will you smile like any mother
XTC - Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her, Kiss Her Lyrics
It's raining on the beach
She inches close but out of reach
The waves look painted on
Seagulls screaming
XTC - You're The Wish You Are I Had Lyrics
What was I supposed to do?
I turned around with the world and she simply was there
My blood ran like ice right through
She had your face and your lips and your eyes and your hair
