Or, "I" within the context of the song.

kkvgz OTM

Actually, Andy Partridge answers the question in the first song. He is the only one who talks about himself in first person as the one who murdered love. We have a confession from the murderer himself. Elementary, my dear Watson!

well done for bringing XTC to the wider attention with one of their perhaps 3 or 4 worst ever songs

― Cap.Obv (acoleuthic), Monday, 6 December 2010 22:25 (fifteen years ago)

Their 3-4 worst ever songs are largely on "Go 2" although that one is hardly my favourite either.

― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Monday, 6 December 2010 22:26 (fifteen years ago)

Nah, White Music and Wasp Star are their worst, although the latter has redemptions (first 2 + last 2 tracks + Boarded Up)

(Imagine that, the book-ends being the worst ones!)

A lot of people would say the same about Genesis, for instance.

Does XTC really need to be brought to the attention of ILM? I'm pretty sure we all know about this band. Dukes of the Stratosphear are the ones that need big-upping IMO.

If everyone knows about XTC how come they did so terribly in that poll?

Dukes of Stratosphear are awesome yes - the compilation album is one of XTC's better records

If everyone knows about XTC how come they did so terribly in that poll?

I consider myself an XTC fan and yet I didn't nominate one single XTC track. I think I voted for one or two in my top 100. Why? Because I love them largely for their lack of really bad songs than for the killer one's. "Skylarking" is one of my favourite albums ever, but not one single track is in my Top 100 tracks ever. However, they may all, more or less, be in my Top 1000 tracks.
