Lyrics

sometimes you can fix something by just pounding away
get that thru your cranium

sometimes you can fix something with just a list of names
thank 'em in the dedication

sometimes you can fix something by just using a Vox
the best British amplification

sometimes you can fix something by just dropping in
my front door is always open

sometimes you can fix something by just getting a fix
tho dope is dumb by definition

sometimes you can fix something by just tapping your phone
do it for your own protection

sometimes you can fix something by just having long hair
i grok yer groovy vibrations

sometimes you can fix something by just dropping a frame
get things in synchronization

sometimes you can fix something by just being cute
everybody’s little darlin’

sometimes you can fix something by just changing its shape
they say that form follows function

sometimes you can fix something by just fixing it yourself
consider it a challenge

sometimes you can fix something by just asking for help
here...gimme that before ya break something

sometimes you can fix something by just having the knack
while other's just keep on struggling

sometimes you can fix something by ooking the other way
survive by being a good German

sometimes you can fix something by just saying "nein"
"das ist verboten"

sometimes you can fix something by just being a vamp
oozing decadent corruption

sometimes you can fix something by just falling in love
you'll feel like a virgin

sometimes you can fix something by falling in love again
ya gotta get your head examined

sometimes you can fix something by having a backyard
hang a hammock, plant a garden

sometimes you can fix something by just living in town
my whole backyard is Manhattan

sometimes you can fix something by just knowing the trick
ignore the man behind the curtain

sometimes you can fix something by just knowin' for sure
tho nothing is for certain

sometimes you can fix something by just paying the fine
avoid a lengthy prosecution

sometimes you can fix something by just knocking it down
make more room by demolition

sometimes you can fix something by trying everything you can
run thru all the permutations

sometimes you can fix something if the calla lilies are in bloom
perfect for any occasion

sometimes you can fix something by just wanting the best
I wanna own the Chrysler Building

sometimes you can fix something by just being the best
XTC's the greatest pop band

sometimes you can't fix something by just being the best
XTC's still stuck in Swindon

The Story

using lyrics by Chris Butler.

One day I got a call from Glenn Morrow, owner of Bar/None Records. "Butler...are you moonlighting?", he asked me. Seems one Chris D. Butler had sent him a tape. I wasn't me, but I got to know The Other CB that way. We have shared history in that his music composition professor was my childhood friend, David Koblitz. Ace sound bender, avant garde experimenter, studio owner.
