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 »

Two hours!
With four left wing kids
I spent time in Nazi Fortress
Much discussion in room see-H-1-O-see-H-11

I did not understand why
I could not accept the fact
that I'd accepted the contract
Much discussion in this institution
Much discussion in boiled beef and carrots
Room see-H-1-O-see-H-2-O-11

It was clear in the window eye
The brick outlined the blue sky
And I had to go round the gay graduates in the toilets
And Good King Harry was there

Much discussion in room see-H-1-O-see-H-2-O-11
Much discussion in room see-H-1-O-see-H-2-O-11

I took a walk down West 11
I had to wade through 500 European punks
In an off-license I rubbed up with some oiks
Who threw some change on the Asian counter
And asked polite if that covered two lagers
A hospital discharge asked me where he could crash 

Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type artist ranch
This is where see Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park? 

Spare a thought for the sleeping promo dept.
They haven't had an idea in two years
Dollars and deutchmarks keep the company on its feet
Say have you ever have a chance to meet
Fat Captain Beefheart imitators with zits?
Who is the King Shag Corpse? 

Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where see Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park? 

The young blackies get screwed up the worst
They've gone over to the Hampstead house suss
In the English system they implicitly trust
See the A&R civil servants
They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of Moroccan
They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of Moroccan 

Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type artist ranch
This is where see Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park? 

Yes, dear chap, it hasn't changed that much
It's still a subculture art-dealer jerk-off
Yes, dear chap, it hasn't changed that much
It's still a subculture art-dealer jerk-off 

Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where see Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park? 

Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where loads of punks congregate in the dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?

Hey tourist it wasn't quite like what you thought
