Biografía:
XTC fue banda de rock, pop y new wave, nacida a partir del movimiento punk de finales de los años 70, originaria de la ciudad de Swindon, Inglaterra.
Se mantuvo activa entre 1977 y 2005, caracterizándose por una permanente evolución, desde sus inicios "cuasi punk" hasta sus últimos trabajos caracterizados por los soberbios arreglos instrumentales y vocales, y sus notables letras.
Nunca disfrutó de grandes éxitos comerciales, pese a que tuvo algunos reconocimientos en los rankings del Reino Unido y Canadá

[1st verse]
G
Books are burning
D E/G#
In the main square, and I saw there
Am D7
The fire eating the text
G
Books are burning
D
In the still air
E
And you know where they burn books
Am D7
People are next
[1st Chorus]
Em A F G/F
I believe the printed word should be forgiven
Em A F G
Doesn't matter what it said
Em A F G/F
Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
Bb F C D
Key to the larder for your heart and head
[2nd Verse]
G
Books are burning
D E/G#
In our own town, watch us turn 'round
Am D7
And cast our glances elsewhere
G
Books are burning
D
In the playground
Em Am D7
Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
[2nd Chorus]
Em A F G/F
I believe the printed word is more than sacred
Em A F G
Beyond the gauge of good or bad
Em A F G
The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
Bb F C D
Above the violence of the fearful and sad
[Bridge]
E G
The church of matches
Bb F7 D7
Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
E G
The church of matches
Bb F7 Dsus4
Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
D7
It's quite obscene
[3rd Verse]
G
Books are burning
D E/G#
More each day now, and I pray now
Am D7
You boys will tire of these games
G
Books are burning
D E/G#
I hope somehow, this will allow
Am D7
A phoenix up from the flames
G
Books are burning
D E/G#
In the main square, and I saw there
Am D7
The fire eating the text
G
Books are burning
D
In the still air
E
And you know where they burn books
Am D7
People are next
