one of the best hangover songs

XTC come out of hibernation on Letterman circa ‘89

every time I see some stray redneck wanting to start a staring competition on public transport I think of this song

A big string section and big guitars try and catch that exuberant feeling of falling for someone 

A big dumb powerpop song I recorded just for fun 

the last drink always tastes the best

Primal Scream kill their inner hippies with this call to arms

no-one carried the velvet bow tie look quite as well as Curtis

a gorgeous dreamy lullaby from one of the most criminally forgotten albums of the past 20 years

Curtis’ bongo player has to really focus here as all the whitey fans’ out-of-time clapping threatens to distract
