Battery Brides Lyrics

Cover art for Battery Brides lyrics by XTC

I think this one is fairly clear "battery brides" as in "battery hens". An unkind reference to the young women of his town; all the same and lacking in imagination.

The live version of this song is very impressive and quite a bold choice as it's not an obvious crowd-pleaser.
