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 »

I'm telling you now and I'm telling you this
Life can be an onward, downward
Chip-chit-chip-chit-chip 

I'm not saying they're really thick
But all the groups who've hit it big
Make the Kane Gang look like
An Einstein chip, chip
NYC, chip, a place to live
Chip, this is the Thule group.
This is the cool group.
I'm telling you now and I'm telling you this. 

Shawn and (the Chewer/Petula), macabre
Here are your wedding pictures
They are black
Stick it in the gut
Stick in the mud.
Boffins bray, boffins brag
Stick it in the gut
Stick in the mud. 

They take from the medium poor to
Give to the needy poor
Via the government poor
Give it to the poor poor
They're knocking on my door
Entrance, entranced 

Stick it in the mud
Stick it in the gut

Cheap fog, cheap fog
Rotting scout-belt
Stick it in the gut 

Who are the riff-makers.
Who are they really?
How old are the stars really?
Half-wit philanthropist, cozy charity gig
If God could see this
He'd stick it, they stick it in the gut
Cheap fog, rotting scout-belt 

Stick it in the gut
Stay in the mud
They take it from the medium poor
To give it to the medium poor
Via the government poor
And give it to the poor poor
Stick it in the gut
Red composite
Wealthy philanthropist
You son of a bitch

Entranced, entrance, entranced

Stick in the mud
Stick it in the gut

I'm telling you now
And I'm telling you this,
Life can be a downward chip.
