XTC’s Senses Working Overtime

"So we're going to play an XTC song for X, because we didn't have one.  This is 'Senses Working Overtime.'"

Hey, hey, the clouds are whey
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

My, my, sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

[Chorus 1]
And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure, and the church bells softly chime

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, night fights day
There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly
All live slowly

My, my, the sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty ones can all die slowly
All die slowly

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the world is biscuit-shaped
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
And birds might fall from black skies (Whoo-whoo)
And bullies might give you black eyes (Whoo-whoo)
And buses might skid on black ice (Whoo-whoo)
But to me they're very, very beautiful (England's glory)
Beautiful (A striking beauty)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

[Chorus 2]
And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference 'tween the goods and crimes
Dirt and treasure

And there's one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure, and the church bells softly chime
