Bungalow
By the sea
Bungalow
In the sea air
Climbing rose
Time to spare
Luxury accommodation traps the sun
So we're working every hour that God made
So we can fly away
Saving it all up for you

Bungalow
Silver shore line
In the gorse
You can be mine
Standing prime position for the town
Working for a vision through this lives
So we can fly away
Saving it all up for you

Bungalow
You wait and see

Bungalow stands as a vibrant example of XTC's eclectic songwriting during their later creative period. Featured on the 2002 compilation Coat Of Many Cupboards, the track showcases the band's signature blend of melodic pop and intricate arrangements. Known for their witty lyrics and complex harmonies, XTC maintained a distinct voice throughout their discography, often exploring themes of domestic life and social observation with a touch of surrealism. This recording captures the group's enduring ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners. As part of a broader catalogue that spans decades of innovation, the song reflects the band's commitment to artistic evolution while retaining the core elements that defined their sound in the post-punk and new wave eras.
