back, and I don't know if he was embarrassed or whether he really didn't hear the lyrics". "Pink Thing" is a comedic pivot point of the album, being a song that Partridge wrote about his penis. The title was also a nickname he had for his children as infants. Partridge intended the two meanings to be ambiguous: "The entire song centres on these two themes at the same time ... The first of the two you see, prevents seeing the other one." It has been compared to the style of Paul McCartney. "Miniature Sun" is a jazz fusion song that invokes the sun as a metaphor for love and betrayal. It was written on the same budget sampler synthesizer as Skylarkings "Another Satellite". Richard Walls said that it resembled "the Beach Boys playing fusion, a kind of number that's becoming an XTC staple". "Chalkhills and Children" is the album's closing track and is its mellowest song. Partridge wrote it as a rumination on his life and career. He summarized: "Show business is all fake. Being a father is not fake, and the hills around [my home] are not fake." It was composed on a Roland D-50 with a second oscillator tuned a fifth above. The lyric imagery came afterward, since he associated the sounds of organs with dreams. He acknowledged that the song bears a resemblance to the Beach Boys and decided to pay homage to their 1967 song "Wind Chimes" by including the use of wind chimes. Beach Boy Brian Wilson was played the track during an appearance on Rodney Bingenheimer's Rodney on the ROQ. When the song was over, Bingenheimer mentioned that Partridge was a big fan of Wilson's, to which Wilson tersely replied "Yeah." Leftover A couple of Partridge's rejected Skylarking songs were offered for Oranges & Lemons, but were again rejected. He said: "Maybe it was fate that they wouldn't rise up. They are probably too weak and best left to die." "The Good Things", a Pet Sounds-influenced Moulding song demoed for Oranges & Lemons, was passed for inclusion. Moulding: "If you can imagine a father reading from a book called The Good Things in Life to his children at bedtime, that just about sums it up." In 1995, the band recorded the song for the tribute album A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC. Similarly, his "In Another Life" was recorded and released for Wasp
