We're falling from XTC

Origin & Inspiration

21 Sept 2013

This pastiché of XTC's Making Plans For Nigel was inspired by the mega-hot Jade, who was complaining about old fogies finding her disgusting for having piercings. Anyhoo, the Facebook discussion ended up about Gio trying to fix me up with Pretties, and him & my Sister Jo's plans for me. Then I remembered me & Jade dancing to this XTC song, and so I penned this. Title inspired by the opening line "We're falling from ecstacy like changelings" from Psychonaut by Fields of the Nephilim.

We're falling from XTC

♪ Gio is making plans, for Xymon

He only wants what's best, for Xym

Gio has got big plans, for Xymon

Xymon just needs a helping hand

And if Xym's harem makes Xym happy

He must be happy

He must be happy... though he'll soon be out of work...

Jo Faircloth's making plans, for Xymon

He has a future with a total babe

Jo Faircloth's got big plans, for Xymon

Xymon's whole future needs to go through Jo

And if Xym's harem makes Xym happy

He must be happy

He must be happy... though he never talks to girls...

Xymon is too outspoken

But to shy to speak

Or to be even spoken to (in his world)

Xymon is happy with his girls

We're only making plans, for Xymon

We only want what's best, for Xym

We're only making plans, for Xymon

His future lies in...

well, not British Steel. A gutter probably... ♪
