Biography:
XTC were a rock band from Swindon, England led by Andy Partridge (guitars, vocals) and Colin Moulding (bass, vocals). Active between the late 1970s and the mid 2000s, XTC's music ranged from jerky new wave/punk riffs to lushly-arranged progressive pop. They also drew heavily from vintage pop rock and psychedelia from the 1960s, genres which they began to explore more deeply after creating The Dukes of Stratosphear side-project. While XTC failed to maintain significant commercial success after the 1980s

Some folks see the world as a stone
Gm/D# Fsus/C# Gm/D# Fsus/C# Gm/D# Fsus/C# Dm7
Con crete daubed in dull mono tone

Your heart is the big box of paints

And others, the canvas we're dealt

Your heart is the big box of paints

How coloured the flowers all smelled
D#/C# D#
As they huddled there, in petalled prayer
D#/B D#/Bb A F Gm/D# Fsus/C# F#
They told me this, as I knelt there

Awaken you dreamers, adrift in your beds
G G/F# G/E D#
Balloons and streamers decorate the inside of your heads

Please let some out, Do it today

But don't let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey
Gm/D# Fsus/C# Gm/D# Fsus/C# D
Some folks pull this life like a weight
Drab and dragging dreams made of slate
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints…
…Just think how the old masters felt! They called…
Awaken you dreamers, asleep at your desks
Parrots and lemurs, populate your unconscious grotesques
Please let some out, Do it today,
Don't let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey
F#/D# G#/F A#/F#
And in the very least you can stand up naked and grin!
