XTC - Collideascope Lyrics
Collideascope
Careful, don't look down the wrong end
You will see ships that fall out of the sky
Who put that nail in your eye
You make me want to cry with your...
Collideascope
Everything looks smashed and broken
You will see fishes that drown in the sea
If you don't alter your mind
I'd hate you to go blind why don't you
Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper
If you doze much longer
Then life turns to dreaming
Little Sleeper
If you doze much longer
Then dreams turn to nightmares
Collideascope
Everything looks topsy turvy
You will see one young girl split into two
One half who's false one half true
You better get your glue ready
Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper
Collideascope
Careful don't look down the wrong end
All the world's colours will crash into one
Monochrome living's no fun
You're staring down a gun with your
Collideascope

XTC Collideascope Comments
cant wait to see this next time im feeling the lucy, gr8 video mane
YT on acid. Nightmare!
A masterpiece John would have loved.
The piano motif at 01:49 MUST have been snaked for the theme music in the great HBO show Succession.
Killer video!! thank you!!!
Mothers of invention all'inizio.... Geniali!
Manchester, 1987. An adolescent male has been listening to some new music.
(dials phone)
"Liam! Liam! It's Noel!....Your brother - 'Noel Gallagher'?...You know that new sound you lookin' for?..Well, listen to this!"
(points phone toward stereo)
The world is begging you to compare this to some mediocre musician from after 1987.
vocals sound like proto-Liam Gallagher
Hahaha, so they do. But we know who Liam was trying to sound like.
Your comment almost pre-spoils the joke I'll be making elsewhere on the comments page.
Done seven years before first Oasis album came out...
lol, hence why I said PROTO-Liam Gallagher!
Great!!! Love this group.........
Anyone wanting new music like this, give The Claypool Lennon Delirium a listen. Now, I have to admit I'm just now discovering the existence of The Dukes and I feel, well, deprived. Soooo gooood.
Totally tripping balls, man....fhjyrdbijgcbnhddnfdc
This song is such an uplifting song, myself and my kids use to sing it all together and sing as loud as possible, we loved the chorus line: "Wakey wakey" I am sure people thought we were mad. They are in their early 30's now lol
Yes ma'am
Andy is a genius
Great Stackridge-style song!
Wakey, Wakey, Wakey, Little Sleeper...
After listening to The Move song "Blackberry Way" I finally understand why Andy has always said this was John Lennon-as-lead-singer-for-The Move.
Brings Oasis to my mind.
You mean Oasis brings Dukes to mind.
This came out in 1987.
First Oasis came out in 1994.
This takes my mind to an oasis...
"When I wake up early in the morning, Lift my head, I'm still yawning..."
No, that would be 'Shiny Cage'.
BRILLIANT! Well Done Sir!
this is dark cold and stark, like a bad flu, genious
Even when Andy does his best Lennon (the verses), his inner McCartney rears its' melodic head (the chorus).
LOL, you're so right!
AHHHH I LOVE THIS F SONG.
mr Kite!!

"Would.have done me proud.!." -John from his grave,.....("don't worry,I'm only sleeping")
+iconicshrubbery ...yep - this sounds alot like much of Lennon's solo stuff
There's a picture of the recording session for this - he's standing there, eyes squinched shut, hands on the phones, looking as if he has a wad of gum in one cheek (even though he didn't). When he saw the picture, it took him a few seconds to realise that he was duplicating a shot of Lennon recording, even though he hadn't meant to.
Easily one of the best Lennon pastiches- on a par with Cheese and Onions. Has the sleepy casualness and finger wagging attitude of a classic Lennon song.
+Steve Carroll I have always felt, in the back of my mind... <3
One of the biggest pscodelic songs ive ever heard
cool video accompaniment to the song as well
I sometimes imagine that XTC is what The Beatles would have sounded like if they were from the 80's.
Nah, the Beatles were never that good.
On par with The Beatles. Just because XTC didn't have the chart success of The Fabs, doesn't mean they aren't in the same ball park musically.
I adore Andy Partridge. Thank you for posting this stellar Dukes track.
