Senses Working Overtime is a single by XTC released in 1982. It is at once the apogee of their early-eighties British popularity as well as their last gasp of mainstream success in their homeland. While it hit the Top Ten and helped English Settlement reach #5 on the album charts, it would also be their last Top Forty entry for a decade.
It has subsequently been covered by both Spacehog on the XTC tribute album Testimonial Dinner and by Mandy Moore on Coverage.
