We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
The lyrics MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL of XTC is also present in the album Drums and wires (1979)
Gli XTC sono una storica band britannica di rock alternativo formatasi a Swindon nel 1972. Guidati da Andy Partridge (voce, chitarra) e Colin Moulding (basso), i due membri fondatori e principali compositori, hanno attraversato diverse fasi musicali, dal punk alla new wave fino ad un sound più pop orchestrale. Nonostante una certa popolarità negli anni '70, il gruppo non ha mai raggiunto il successo commerciale mainstream, pur guadagnandosi un seguito di culto grazie all'originalità e alla complessità delle loro composizioni. Influenzati dal power pop e dal Britpop, gli XTC sono considerati oggi un punto di riferimento per generi musicali come l'art rock e il progressive pop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: 'Making Plans for Nigel', 'Senses Working Overtime', 'Dear God', 'Generals and Majors'.
