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 ate a monkey breakfast
I eat a skunk for lunch
I living in the bush
I eat with my fingers
I don't use no knife or fork
cause I live in the jungle
I live in jungle

I'm living in the bush
I'm living in the bush
I eating with my fingers
I use no fork or knife
I use no fork or knife
I know elephants and lions
I'm an elephant hotel man

And I eat what I can
I eat what I can
I eat a monkey for breakfast
I ate a skunk for lunch
I'm living in the bush in a hotel
I'm an Ibis hotel man

I'm eating with my fingers
I use no fork or knife
Sometimes things double too slow
And the sky, the sky tremble above me
It looks so great

I eat with my fingers
I use no fork or knife
All I want's a hotel to climb
I'm an Ibis hotel man

I'm living in the bush
A round return, I'm a man
And I do what I can
And I do what I can

I ate a monkey for lunch
And for breakfast I have a snack
I eat a skunk for lunch
I'm an Ibis hotel man
I do elephants and lions
To the children that I provide
I'm an african man
I'm living in a ..

I'm an african man
And I do what I can
I got three minutes
I eat a lunch
I put it on the bill
I eat a skunk, I eat a skunk

[animal screaching]
[lyrics from Race With The Devil]
...my throat was dry
I look around, I looked around
And I always did
Uh uh uh [as in A Past Gone Mad]
I got christmas island
And join the troops
I got christmas island
I'm gonna join a cruise
When you look around, I sit down

A mission
I'm an average computer man
I do what I can, I do what I can
I do what I can, I do what I can, I do what I can
And here's one of my friends
He's gonna sing one of the old songs from trigger hap...
"Hello London, you lucky lucky people - Mark E" [sung by Ed Blaney]

I was walking down the street again and again
[mobile phone interference]
[outro of Birthday for 1 second with crowd cheering]
