66. XTC - Dear God

Found On: Skylarking (1986)

A lyrical smart bomb that was never intended for official release. The band put it on a b-side and college stations started playing it, forcing Geffen to re-press the album and include the song. It asks the age-old question: If God is so great why does he let horrible things happen? Never before has spiritual doubt sounded so sweet, courtesy of the usual XTC harmonies and lush Todd Rundgren production.
