XTC: Love On A Farmboy's Wages

Another pastoral song from "Mummer" with lead vocals by Andy Partridge: 



There's a nice write-up on XTC in Wikipedia. Ah, the memories but also the information that's new to me. Looking back, I've really got quite a few of their albums - none of which I've listened to for many years since I haven't made use of my turntable for that long. 

I didn't quite realize that both R.E.M.'s album "Murmur" and XTC's "Mummer" were released in 1983. Both great albums.
