Things I love Thursday (Music Edition!)

One of my top feel good songs, comes from XTC – Statue of Liberty. I always have to turn this one up a bit, dance or sing-a-long. It’s genius.

“A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt.”

It came out in 1978, and got banned by the BBC due to the lyrics “sail beneath your skirt” – how times have changed!!

XTC – Statue of Liberty

Statue of Liberty Lyrics Artist: XTC// (Buy XTC CDs) Album: White Music// // // Send “Statue of Liberty” Ringtone to your Cell The first time I saw you standing in the water You must have been all of a thousand feet tall Nearly naked – unashamed like Herod’s daughter Your love was so big It made New York look small You’ve been the subject of so many dreams Since I climbed your torso Oh! My statue of Liberty Boo Boo Impaled on your hair What do you do Do Do to me Boo Boo I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt A billion lovers with their cameras Snap to look and in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt // Send “Statue of Liberty” Ringtone to your Cell // Comments/Interpretations no comments yet Name: Comment: // advertisement Related: XTC Lyrics XTC White Music Lyrics More XTC Music Lyrics: XTC – Another Satellite Lyrics XTC – Cynical Days Lyrics XTC – Fruit Nut Lyrics XTC – I Can’t Own Her Lyrics XTC – Love on a Farmboy’s Wages Lyrics XTC – Omnibus Lyrics XTC – The Last Balloon Lyrics XTC – War Dance Lyrics
