Since we started

with XTC, I see no reason to change now.

I have the lyrics to several songs painted on the doors in my music room.  I am thinking of going to the doors in the hallway.  I want and XTC song, and I have been going round and round on which song.  This seems to be the one I am drawn to.......one late night/early morning, I am just going to get out the brush and paint and go for it.

Yes, I think this is it

The Last Balloon is one of my favorite tracks from the "Apple" sessions.  (unfortunately, no official videos for this CD)



The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon from fear


The last balloon is leaving, form that line right here



Climb aboard, climb aboard you menfolk

You won't need any bombs or knives

Climb aboard, climb aboard you menfolk

Leave all that, to your former lives

Drop it all



The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon of all

The last balloon is leaving, undress, discard, let fall



Climb aboard, climb aboard you women

You won't need any gems or furs

Climb aboard, climb aboard you women

Leave all that to the bad old years

Drop it all



The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon they'll fly

The last balloon is leaving and we won't qualify



Climb aboard, climb aboard you children

Move aloft, while you're fleet and fast

Climb aboard, climb aboard you children

We're weighed down by our evil past



Drop us all, you should drop us all

Drop us all and free your hand

Drop us all, you should drop us all

Drop us all like so much sand




"drop it all"

three very, very wise words
