hey, hey the clouds are whey
there's straw for the tinkers and
the innocents can all sleep safely
all sleep safely
my, my,sun is pie
there's fodder for the cannons and
the guilty one's can all sleep safely
all sleep safely
and all the world is football-shaped
it's just for me to kick in space
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
trying to taste the difference
between a lemon and a lime
pain and the pleasure and
the church bells softly chime
hey, hey, night fights day
there's food for the tinkers and
the innocents can all live slowly
all live slowly
my, my, the sky will cry
jewels for the thirsty and
the guilty one's can all die slowly
all die slowly
and all the world is biscuit-shaped
it's just for me to feed my face
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
and birds might fall from black skies
and bullies might give you black eyes
but to me they're very very beautiful (englands glory)
beautiful (a striking beauty)
and all the world is football shaped
it's just for me to kick in space
and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
and I've got one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime
trying to take all this in
I've got one, two, three, four five
senses working overtime
try to tell the difference
between the goods and crimes
dirt and treasure and there's
one, two, three, four, five
senses working overtime.......

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official XTC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
