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).
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Alright. I absolutely love the Dukes of Stratosphear, so I just decided to try and play this amazing track for a bit, and I believe this sounds about right. Hope y'all enjoy. (If I'm wrong at any part, feel free to correct me.)
Verse 1 AD Someone's knocking in the distance AE But I'm deaf and blind AD She's not expected home this evening AE So I leave the world behind
Chorus F#mA For the vanishing girl F#mE The vanishing girl F#mA Yes she'd give you a twirl F#m But she vanishes from my world GD So burn my letters and you'd better leave A Just one pint a day G The whole street's talking about my DA White shirts looking so grey
Verse 2 AD People gossip on the doorstep AE Think they know the score AD She's giving him the runaround AE The man from number four
Chorus F#mA Has a vanishing girl F#mE A vanishing girl F#mA Yes she'd give you a twirl F#m But she vanishes from my world G Yes the paint is peeling and my DA Garden is overgrown GDA I got no enthusiasm to even answer the phone
Verse 3
ADA When she's here it makes up for the time she's E Not and it's all forgotten ADDEEA But when she goes I'm putting on the pose
Chorus
F#mA For the vanishing girl F#mE The vanishing girl F#mA Yes she'd give you a twirl F#m But she vanishes from my world so GD So burn my letters and you'd better leave A Just one pint a day (The vanishing girl) G The whole street's talking about my DA White shirts looking so grey GDAAD (The vanishing) Girl (Bar/full chords) DDEEA
