This was born after meeting a special person who challenged me to write about my beliefs for the first time.
lyrics
You're red and white stuff in a tight pink suit
You look like an ape but you're still cute
You got one tongue, two lungs and a heart full of loving blood
And I can't believe that you truly are
the product of an exploding star you're the
best dressed collection of atoms and DNA
You're a ball of light born of the hand of Aphrodite
Boy I got it bad, you're the best accident I never had
You, you are dust
You're heat and light and lust
and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you
You, you are dust
and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are
is heat and dust
You're a tiger then a slave
You're a teardrop in a crescent wave, you fade
Back into the roaring blue
The big lost plane
You are only temporary
A speck on a spot on a map of infinity
A fleeting flutter of a strangers eye on a passing train
I'm just a bag of skin holding my beating heart in
Boy I got it bad, you're the best accident I never had
You, you are dust
You're heat and light and lust
and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you
You, you are dust
and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are
is heat and dust
Nothing upon the past has power
Don't waste sand in your hourglass fretting
Nobody had a crystal but it's all water over the -
damn the man I'm who I am
You, you are dust
You're heat and light and lust
and atoms and matter and I'm loving looking at you
You, you are dust
and we should timewarp thrust whilst robots rust coz all we are
is heat and dust x 3
Nothing upon the past has power
Don't waste sand in your hourglass fretting
Nobody had a crystal but it's all water over the -
damn the man I'm who I am

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
This album has been a constant daily companion to me since this past summer. I almost feel guilty waiting this long to purchase the CD itself.
This is a new classic in my collection, something that I will probably go back to for the rest of my life. Darren Douglas Danahy

Somehow I missed this one when it came out. Better late than never. Everything Martin releases is a gem including this one. Strong melodies,very good lyrics,and of course Martin's playing and singing! norm tandberg
