Comments

This improvised song got a sequel the next year - perhaps the only improv Robyn Hitchcock song to get one, with the possible exception of "Chain Mary to the Bed", a more finished version of the improv "I Thought I Saw Julian Cope". Robyn followed up the song with a remark that Charles Manson was also good at improvising songs, and that he and Manson were "both cute," but that Robyn was probably more drug-free.

Lyrics

Alien Chuck was my kind of guy
But it didn't last too long
Alien Chuck was my kind of guy
And I found him in this song

Alien Chuck, he looked like you
He dressed like me
And he thought like both of us
Oh, bad luck, it's Alien Chuck

When his mother said "come on in for tea"
He said "I'm out, Mother, I'm out in infinity"
Oh, Alien
