"Senses Working Overtime" is a song written by Andy Partridge of the English rock band XTC, released as the lead single from their 1982 album English Settlement.

[4][5] At the suggestion of its director, the song's music video was filmed at double-speed and then slowed down, to make the musicians appear "more graceful".

Partridge recalled: "That one was done really quickly, in Shepperton Studios while we were rehearsing for the English Settlement tour.

"[6] On the 12" release, "Egyptian Solution (Thebes in a Box) (Homo Safari #3)" (Partridge) was added to the A-side as track 2; the B-side comprised "Blame the Weather" and "Tissue Tigers" on both 7" and 12".

"Senses Working Overtime" was the third single released from Moore's third studio album Coverage (2003) as its opening track.
