Biografía:
The Dukes of Stratosphear fue el seudónimo usado por la banda británica de rock XTC a mediados de los ochentas, concurrentemente con las actividades musicales continuadas de XTC. El proyecto fue intentado como un homenaje a la música pop y psicodélica de grupos como The Beatles, The Byrds, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, The Pretty Things y el Pink Floyd temprano bajo el liderazgo de Syd Barrett.
La banda realizó dos grabaciones bajo este seudónimo: el EP 25 O'Clock (1985), y el LP Psonic Psunspot (1987).

The Mole from the Ministry
The Dukes of Stratosphear, from the album "25 o'Clock"
[Verse 1]
G Bm
If you think there's something wrong,
F Am
Holes appearing on your lawn,
Eb Gm
Don't you blame the man next door,
A D
It's not him.
G Bm
Flowers walk from place to place,
F Am
Dark spot moves around your face,
Eb Gm
Objects vanish without trace,
A D
It's not you.
[Chorus]
B F#
I'm the mole from the Ministry,
A C#sus4 C#
And you'll all bow down to me.
B F#
I'm the mole in your potting shed,
A C#sus4 C#
I'm the bad thoughts inside your head.
Ab C# D7
And you won't catch me-e...
(Spoken: Fish and visitors smell after three days.)
[Verse 2]
G Bm
If you think there's something strange,

Garden starts to rearrange,

From perfect lawn to mountain range,
A D
It's not you.
[Chorus]

I'm the mole from the Ministry,
A C#sus4 C#
And you'll all bow down to me.

And you won't catch me-e...

I'm the mole in your potting shed,
(BV: Undermine your world)
