Andy: “Actually a song about female masturbation, yay! Let's have more of it. This demo dates from April 91, and along with the ‘Disappointed’, was one of the last two things written for Nonsuch. Oh... How I wanted to record this for that album, or Wasp Star, or any. It's one of my very favourite unrecorded XTC songs, so I guess it'll exist only in this form. If lust equals knowledge, then I side with the snake.”
[Thanks to R. Stevie Moore]
“Wonder Annual” postage stamp |
Hustle, fustle.
Push shove bustle.
So goes the dance of the milling mass.
Work, rent, mortgage.
Magic shortage.
Why queue for milk from their golden ass.
Open up your Wonder Annual.
Turn on the leaves of your private book.
Open up your Wonder Annual
and, if I may, can I lay and look?
At the gold and the silver
that will fly from your hands.
Hands of Ripper pours paint stripper.
Toasting the worms in their shallow graves
Draw your blinds down.
Sketch an unfrown.
Show me the door through which all are saved.
Open up your Wonder Annual.
Turn on the leaves of your private book.
Open up your Wonder Annual
and, if I may, can I lay and look?
At the shells full of pearl
that will float from your gate.
And if lust equals knowledge
then I side with the snake.
Open up your Wonder Annual.
Turn on the leaves of your private book.
Open up your Wonder Annual
and, if I may, can I lay and look?
Open up your Wonder Annual.
Turn on the leaves of your private book.
Open up your Wonder Annual
and, if I may . . .

Hi folks!
There's actually two rhytm-guitar parts on Andy's demo. This is an attempt
to combine the most important parts of each section so that you will be able
to play the song all by yourself. Hope you will enjoy!
