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 »

Mister Blairstowe and Mister Partridge
They said to me
"To get a mortgage
You need an income lid"
I thought it was free

Dolly Parton and Lord Byron
They said "patriotism is the last refuge"
But now it's me 

And water's flowing
Down the mountain
But a tree is blocking 
The water flowing

So I went fishing
A note from a fish said
"Dear dope
If you wanna catch us
You need a rod and a line
Signed, the fish" 

Water is flowing
Down the mountain
But a tree is blocking
The water flowing

Went to the car rental
They said to me
"You need a log book
And a licence, son"

Water's flowing
Down the mountain
But a tree is blocking
The water coming
Mountain energei

And water's flowing
Down the mountain
