Lyrics:Then She Appeared

by XTC

Album version:

Then she appeared, Apple Venus on a half open shell Then she appeared, the first photograph on Fox Talbot's gel I was a little frightened Flying with my senses heightened Cherubim cheered Then she appeared Then she appeared, as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste Then she appeared, pale Atlantis rising out of the west I was a little dazzled Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled Know it sounds weird Then she appeared And the sun which formerly shone In the clearest summer sky Suddenly just changed address Now shines from her blue eyes Then she appeared, brittle shooting star that dropped in my lap Then she appeared, dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap I was a little troubled Hookah with my senses bubbled All Edward leared Then she appeared And the moon which formerly shone On the marbled midnight mile Suddenly just packed its bags Now shines from her bright smile Then she appeared Out of nowhere

Demo version:

Then she appeared Like a note struck from the Liberty Bell Then she appeared Like a wish from out of somebody's well I was a little frightened Looking with my senses heightened Cherubim cheered Then she appeared

And the sun which normally hung In the clearest summer sky Suddenly just changed address And shone from her blue eyes

When she appeared With a smiling lamb that sat on her lap When she appeared With a moa feather stuck in her cap I was a little dazzled melting with my senses frazzled know it sounds weird then she appeared

And the sun which normally hung In the clearest summer sky Suddenly just changed address And shone from her blue eyes

Then she appeared Then she appeared
