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

NOTE: Regarding the chord C#m7/F in the first two choruses ONLY:
In reality, it's actually the bass that plays the F over C#m7
thus making it sound a bit off.
The song is in 7th chords except for the E but, may play
this using basic chords; and/or open chords.
Key - E [Intro & Verses] , F# [Choruses]
[Intro]
A7 G7 A7 G7
[Verse 1]
A7 G7
Sindy's spending too much money on clothes
A7 G7
Ken is going back to Gay Bob
A7 G7
The Teddy bears swear the neighbourhood's gone
A7 G7
Since the moving in of Golliwog
Bm7 A7
Rag doll gets beaten up by the Action Man
Bm7 A7
The one with the real life hair
A7 G7
He walks and he talks in a commanding voice
A7 G7
But sexually he's not all there.
[Chorus]
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
Oh dear what can the matter be, my children sweet children
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
What gives down in the nursery, my children sweet children
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
Oh dear what if the cradle falls, my children sweet children
E C#m7/F F#m7 B7
Toys are only human after all, who killed 'em we killed 'em
[Bridge]
F#7
If toys are quarreling amongst themselves
B7 D7
What hope is there now for the world?
[Interlude]
A7 G7 A7 G7
[Verse 2]
A7 G7
The smell of smoke hanging thick over funland
A7 G7
As the older toys are pushed down a ramp
A7 G7
The microchip master race are melting them down
A7 G7
In a dolly concentration camp
Bm7 A7
The world's gone mad but in miniature
Bm7 A7
The kids can only do what they feel
A7 G7
See them copy what their parents have done
A7 G7
'Til they're old enough to do it for real
[Chorus]
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
Oh dear what can the matter be, my children sweet children
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
What gives down in the nursery, my children sweet children
