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

No Thugs In Our House by XTC
From 1982 English Settlement
Esus4/F# 2*2*2*2*0*0
Bbdim x*0*2*3*2*x
[Intro]
E Esus4/F# x10 (repeats throughout verse)
[Verse 1]
E
The insect-headed worker wife
E
Will hang her waspies on the line
E
The husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe
E
While studying their cushion-floor
E
His viscous poly-paste breath comes out
E
Their wall-paper world is shattered by his shout
E
A boy in blue is busy banging out a headache On the kitchen door
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
And all the while Graham slept on
B E
Dreaming of a world where he could do
B E B E
Just what he wanted to
[Chorus]
A A/G F
No thugs in our house, are there dear?
B
We made that clear
D A
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy
A A/G F
No thugs in our house, are there dear?
B
We made that clear
D A
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy
E Esus4/F# x4
[Verse 2]
E
The young policeman who just can't grow a moustache
E
Will open up his book
E
And spoil their breakfast with reports of Asians Who have been so badly kicked
E
Is this your son's wallet I've got here?
E
He must have dropped it after too much beer!
E
Oh, officer, we can't believe our little angel Is the one you've picked!
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
And all the while Graham slept on
B E
Dreaming of a world where he could do
B E B E
Just what he wanted to
[Chorus]
A A/G F
No thugs in our house, are there dear?
B
We made that clear
D A
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy
A A/G F
No thugs in our house, are there dear?
B
We made that clear
D A
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy
[Bridge]
A Amaj7
They never read those pamphlets in his bottom drawer
Bm Bbdim
They never read that tattoo on his arm
A Amaj7
They thought that it was just a boys club badge he wore
Bm Bbdim A
They never thought he'd cause folks any harm
E Esus4/F#
[Verse 3]
E
The insect-headed worker-wife
E
Will hang her waspies on the line
E
She's singing something stale and simple
E
Now this business has fizzled out
E
Her little tune is such a happy song
E
Her son is innocent, he can't do wrong
E
'Cos Dad's a judge and knows exactly What the job of judging's all about
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
And all the while Graham slept on
B E
Dreaming of a world where he could do
B E B E
Just what he wanted to
[Chorus]
A A/G F
No thugs in our house, are there dear?

We made that clear
