I too was initiated into the cult of XTC by the Gilmore Girls, they use quite a few of their songs on there.
I love the alliteration in this song, "cherubim cheered" rolls off the tongue ever so nicely.
As a whole I think the song and lyrics capture the feeling of wonder one experiences when catching sight of someone striking, or that "love at first sight" experience.
