Wow...I think the author of this song didn't think like this.

It's very simple. Their music is intelligent, made by intelligent people FOR intelligent people. Now, list to what's chosen to be played on the radio. Imbecilic music for imbecilic people! The greater amount of the masses are stupid and wouldn't be able to understand this stuff, so, they get stupid music and are too stupid to realize there's something MUCH better out there than, "Gimmie Three Steps" or "Free Bird"!! Case closed!! Check out another of Andy's songs, "Funk Pop-A-Roll".

genius retribution song, only joe jackson's 'on your radio' was better. i regularly say Andy is better than the beatles, he is, but he did build off of them, so this is no slight against JPG&R, but a legacy tribute. seriously poetic genius- 3rd or 4th sigma

Listened to this track a thousand times and still shiver every time I hear it. Just how the hell does a musician become this talented and still not get the attention they deserve? It defies belief! It's nothing less than heartbreaking. I love XTC - I'd put Ball and Chain as my contender for one of the best tracks ever written - but this is even better. Such a great song, passed unnoticed, left for the very few. Enjoy it!

H-A-T-E Is that how you spell love in your dictionary K-I-C-K Pronounced as kind F-U-C-K Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary Black on black A guidebook for the blind Well now that I can see my eyes won't weep Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap Now that I can talk all your corn I'll reap I'm not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary There are no words for me inside your dictionary S-L-A-P Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary C-O-L-DPronounced as care S-H-I-TIs that how you spelt me in your dictionary Four-eyed fool You led 'round everywhere Now that I can see it's the queens new clothes Now that I can hear all your poison prose Now that I can talk with my tongue unfrozeI'm not so sure of Santa or the buck-tooth fairy There are no words for me inside your dictionary Now your laughter has a hollow ring But the hollow ring has no finger in So let's close the book and let the day begin And our marriage be undone
