I'm a pretty big VDGG fan, as well as a fan of some his solo stuff (Over makes me want to never get married. And This Side of the Looking Glass, which you quoted, has to be one of the most touching songs ever written).
Apparently, Johnny Rotten was also into them as well.
You ask me, their best album is The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome, because of the excellence of the two tracks Lizard Play and Cats Eye/Yellow Fever. Most of their stuff is pretty great, though.
EDIT: Here's a magisterial live rendition of This Side of The Looking Glass. It's pretty awful quality, but if I were in the audience that day, I'd dehydrate myself from bawling so much. What a singer! He has the kind of voice that you could imagine getting a little grating after a while, but, when applied to the right material, it's perfect!
