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 »

Out of England, I dream of its creamery
When I'm there I dwell on Saxony.
In Turkey when I've been due to World War I
Istanbul is the place 'cause of my birthday. 

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy 

I got everything
I got everything I want except for hungry
I got everything I want except for money. 

I've got the best round set aside for parties
They'll have one when I've gone 
In fact, they said so, good one. 

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy 

Friends disintegrate within circles of cash 
Residue after years of fab genius 
Is a pension for the jews 
and a medal from the company which I wiped my butt on
and hung on a laburnum tree. 

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
I am barmy 
Bleedin' barmy 

Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first
Just call me the first

I lay waiting hopefully on sloped grass green
I am barmy, bleedin' barmy 

A dramatic verse
A dramatic verse
A dramatic verse

The programs lot
We break into tune
Take and bring a word 
Ring a buzzer 
Take and bring a word 

A dramatic verse
