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 »

So many people it is the same
The valleys open up it is the same
Get a potato out it is the same
When I open the mail it's the same game
Lyrics on TV sound like this to me
When I get a potato out it is the same
When I open the mail it is the same
Nothing you can do surrounding the
When I get a potato out it is the same
Get it excited it is the same
When I walk up the hill it is the same

When I cross the roundabout it was the same
