I used to believe everything I read, but that's all changed 'cause now I'm stepping out.

OMG if it's got only two notes then it's not music :fuckyou::rolleyes::mad::eek:

I think my favorite Fall song is Hexen Definitive / Strife Knot

Go back to your grower thread, dude ;)

I'm Joe Totale!!!!
The yet-unborn son!
The north will rise again!

Their absolute best lyrics:

Three days
Three months
Three days
Three months
A treatise
A treatise
To explain these
First was cash 'n' carry house dance
In Lancashire they're A
In King Nat Ltd. empire
Kwik Save is there
The scene started here
Then was America
Then was America
We went there
Big A&M Herb was there**
His offices had fresh air
But his rota was mediocre
US purge, rock 'n' pop filth
Their material's filched
And the secret of their lives
Is...
All the English groups
Act like peasants with free milk
On a route
On a route to the loot
To candy mountain
Five wacky English proletariat idiots
Californians always think of sex
Or think of death
Five hundred girl deaths
A Mexico revenge, it's stolen land
They really get it off on
"Don't hurt me please"
Rapist fill the TVs
And the secret of their lives
Is S.E.X..
I have dreams, I can see
Carloads of negro Nazis
Like Faust with beards
Hydrochloric shaved weirds
[Applause from audience at Cyprus Tavern ]
This was going to be called crap rap fourteen,
but it's now Stop Mithering.
The things that drain you off and drive you off the hinge.
Boils, dirty socks, the ceilings collapse.
The Sunday morning loud lawn mower,
the upstairs Jewish girl damn hoovering, with valium cig
withdrawal.
She wants communal, fluent flat household.
I want privacy.
The bastard dentist doctors surgery,
Clip, clop, ring, knock, ring
Stop mithering***
The estates stick up like stacks
The estates stick up like stacks
The residents keep wild dogs
And on that father's bedroom closet top,
electric blanket boxes
Surplus jonnies, demob pictures
To their children they sing
Stop mithering
You think you've got it bad with thin ties,
miserable songs synthesized, or circles with A in the middle.
Make joke records, hang out with Gary Bushell,
Join round table. "I like your single yer great!"
A circle of low IQ's.
There are three rules of audience.
My journalist acquaintances, go soft, go places,
on record company expenses.
I lose humor, manners become bog writers, don't know it.
The smart hedonists, same as last verse, allusions with
H in electronics, on stage false histrionics,
Corpse mauling dicks, pose to a good film, him, him
Stop mithering
I'm not joining conventional rock band.
The conventional is experimental, the conventional is now
experimental,
And is no way noble, and I'm no chock stock thing.
So stop mithering.
Engineers save up for cars.
I try to let down their tyres with matches to make them molten.
Ouch! Ouch!
They say I rip off Johnny Rotten
They always strike for more pay.
They say "See yer mate..Yeh...see yer mate"
To their mothers they sing
Stop mithering
Even the drowned penile tissue test.
He hangs out for sex.
He enters magazine contest.
White tan horror in the mirror.
Spotty exterior hides a spotty interior.
He's not your enemy.
He's not your enemy, his name is not Harry.
The secret of Cash and Carry.



...That song actually got me into this band. Just too brilliant. I'd listen to it on repeat for days. Dunno why it's not on my top 10..

and how could I have forgotten about Who Makes the Nazis?

I can't wait for pauly to reply to this.

He'll say "Who makes the nazis [PEEL SESSION VERSION]", guranteed.

NWRA ---- but then again, I don't really like The Fall so much.

maybe I'm doin' it wrong. :confused:

I don't really like the Fall much either.


I really LOVE those fuckers.

Gotta say, they have the worst fans ever though. I lurked their board for a while. Fuck. You think this place is bad sometimes? (You know, the "HOW CAN YOU INSULT PANTY LIES? THAT SONG SPEAKS TO ME! FUCK YOU!@") The Fall message board is like... you know what it's like? It's like EVERY SINGLE PERSON POSTING TO IT is atari 2600.

ahah, i was refering to that "hip hop isn't argument" where someone said that because there was only one or two notes it wasn't music. something like that...

1. Spoilt Victorian Child
2. Industrial Estate
3. There's a Ghost in my House
4. The Classical
5. Living Too Late

I've visited the Fall message board a few times. It wasn't too bad, really. Hardly what I'd call "the worst fans ever." I've still yet to meet anyone that's even heard of The Fall irl, haha.

Anyway, I s'pose my top five Fall songs would go like this:

1. Garden
2. Middle Mass
3. Leave the Capitol
4. The NWRA
5. Spoilt Victorian Child

iunno. It constantly changes.

Yest, Leave the Capitol is a great track too indeed. This thread made me go through some of my Fall albums yesterday after quite a time.

Ah, well, the times I've lurked, everyone was pompous and talking about how beautiful Mark's lyrics are, and everyone was comparing their obscure record collections, and the whole thing was just this big condescending mess of egos... from what I saw.

Container Drivers or Words Of Expectation.

Fave LP is Hex.

some of my favourite tracks:

Garden
Eat Y'self Fitter
Who Makes The Nazis?
The Classical
Mother Sister
Industrial Estate
15 Ways
Middle Class Revolt
An Older Lover
Leave The Capitol
Totally Wired
No Xmas For John Quays
In My Area
Telephone Thing
