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 »

Why don't you tell me? Next time you ring
Why don't you tell me next time you ring
Why don't you tell me?
All leave's cancelled again

All leave cancelled!

Why don't you tell me the next time you ring
Why don't you tell me the next time you ring
And, why can't you ring and tell me?
Why can't you just ring and tell me?
Disappearing glass disappearing in the glass
(Ba ba ba ba)

Why can't you
Why can't you ring and tell me?
Why can't you ring and tell me?
Why can't you ring and tell me?

(In the garden?) why don't you tell me
The vacuum pack isn't ready
In the holy temple of the Quakers

Welcoming dismenting
Glasses miniscule

All leave cancelled

Who can't be trusted
With a one half bucket of whiskey
Without injecting salad
All leave's cancelled
In eight minutes, fifty seconds
It's really nice (All leave's cancelled)
Gone, til five minutes twenty seconds
(All leave's cancelled) title:
"All leave X" (Wake up)
Going on ten minutes, oh five seconds
(And why can't you ring and tell me?)
Arrow in green as used by the bandmates
(Why can't you ring?) straight on
Resorting back to a seven twenty
(Why can't you just ring and tell me)
To eight fifty
Why can't you wait for nine fifty
Is your art so shallow?
Do you have to abuse the indigenous
Over the borders of M1
With your savage puritan Polishness?
Laughing at you as you go upstairs
With your African friends
To pitch against our goal (I can't)
All leave cancelled (Why?)

Why don't you tell me next time
All leave's cancelled again?
Why don't you tell me next time you ring
All leave's cancelled
All leave's cancelled again?
Why don't you tell me next time you ring?
Why don't you tell me next time you ring?

One day you're gonna be lonely
But I don't know when just now lie-ie-es
