XTC - Easter Theatre Lyrics

XTC should be on the school curriculum....

Breathtakingly beautiful and sacred song, my favourite XTC song....

My favourite song ever...

Lyrics: Copied from Genius.com
Gold sun rolls around
Chocolate nipple brown
Tumble from your arms
Like the ground, your breasts swell
Land awake from sleep
Hares will kick and leap
Flowers climb erect
Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth

Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(We'd applaud a new life)

Odin mounts the tree
Bleeds for you and me
Splashing on the lamb
Gamboling with spring's step
Buds will laugh and burst
Racing to be first
Turning all the soil
As the promptress' fingers through her spinning script

Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(We'd applaud a new life)

Easter in her bonnet
Easter in her hair
Easter are the ribbons
She tied everywhere

Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(Hey)
Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)

In her bonnet
(Easter )
Everywhere
Easter
Easter
Easter
Easter

Gives me chills every time

xtc gold.

people who don't know about xtc really don't know what they are missing!

F....k what's up .where did this emerge.

Welcome to XTC. I'm new too!

Greatest thing they ever recorded. Everything is ok when I listen tot his.

: Will there be a 2nd-Coming ? With what we know today in 2019!?-

Brilliant song ,has a wicker man soundtrack feel to it (and that was brilliant too ).rip Paul Giovanni.

One amazing song, a watershed finish. Precious.

At least it's upbeat. At least. Always is every time. Always a Good song.

I love it. It sounds like Martha my dear.

Like a slightly more subversive Paul McCartney

Epic poetry! Just beautiful.

bass at 3:25 always gets me

Colin is a master of his art.

Ditto. His bass and vocals are beautiful on this track.

Listening to 'Easter Theatre' on a White Easter Monday.

Happy Easter! Enjoy the bonfires, make love, have a great time!

This is inspired

great song!
