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 »

Hail the new puritan
Maelstrom, cook one 
And all hard-core fiends
Will die by me 

And all decadent sins 
Will reap discipline 
New puritan 
This is the grim reefer

The snap at the end of the straw
With a high grim quota 
Your star karma gin 
New puritan 

In LA the window opener switch
Is like a dinosaur cackle 
A pterodactyl cackle 
Jet plane circle 

Over imported trees 
All the film ghosts will rise up 
With the sexually abused and the new youth 
In Britain the scream of electric pumps in a renovated pub

Your stomach swells up before you get drunk 
Don't call me Peter I can't go 
Salem's just up the road 
I've got work to do 

Hail the new puritan
Out of hovel-cum-coven-cum-oven 

(right you go back to that riff) 
Hail the new puritan
Out of hovel, cum-coven, cum-oven 
And all hard-core fiends

Will die by me 
And all decadent sins 
Will reap discipline 
New puritan 

I curse your preoccupation
With your record collection
New puritan has no time 
It's only music, John 

New puritan 
Ungodly mass 
Thick ass
