The Fall

The Fall are an English post-punk band, formed in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, in 1976. With an ever-changing line up, the group essentially consists of its founder and only constant member, Mark E. Smith, who has said "If it's me and your granny on bongos, then it's [the] Fall". First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the band's music has evolved through numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group's membership. The Fall's music is characterised by repetition, an abrasive guitar-driven sound, and is always underpinned by Smith's often cryptic lyrics, described by critic Steve Huey as "abstract poetry filled with complicated wordplay, bone-dry wit, cutting social observations, and general misanthropy." more »

When I'm walking down the street
It's always you I seem to meet
Car coat on and steel boots on your feet
And write your letters to the Evening News
I pick up a knife and sing this tune

It goes
Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head
I said Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head
I said wah wah

When walking to work it's always
You I seem to meet
In your hair, smelly in the heat
And you kick the shit out of some poor kid
I pick up a knife, I flip my lid

It goes
Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head
I said Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head

I said I woka-to ma, woka-to ma
Woka-to ma, wah wah wah
I said I woka-to ma, woka-to ma
Woka-to ma, wah wah wah

The dead director of the BBC
I'll show you what I'd love to see
Swastikas and swimming pools
I pick up a knife I sing this tune:

It goes
Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head
I said Hey fascist! Hey fascist! Hey fascist!
You're gonna get it through the head

I said I woka-to ma, woka-to ma
Woka-to ma, wah wah wah
I said I woka-to ma, woka-to ma
Woka-to ma, wah wah wah

I said-a fascist oh
