The Mayor Of Simpleton by XTC

Enish’s jam on 26 May ’15 (See all)

“This song may well epitomize what XTC was as a band, combining a full, multilayered production sound with infectious pop melodies and clever lyricism. Certainly a stand-out track on their stunning Oranges and Lemons album. The video for this song is a pleasure to watch as well.”

Classic Pop! Not a huge fan of XTC - but I love this one.

There are several perfect XTC records. This is my favourite and made by the lyrics tho the production is pretty good too. "When their logic gets cold/ and all thinking gets done/ you'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton".   4
