Container Drivers (Bonus Track)

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 »

Net cap. of 58 thousand pounds
They sweat on their way down 
Grey ports with customs bastards 
Hang around like clowns the 
Uh-containers and their drivers 

Bad indigestion
Bad bowel retention
Speed for their wages
Suntan, torn short sleeves 

Look at a car park for two days
Look at a grey port for two days
Train line, stone and grey 

This is not their town
Big cigars come out of the ground
Sweat on their way down 
F. Jack's a distant relation 
Communists are just part time workers
And there's no thanks 
From the loading bay ranks 

Look at a car park for two days
Look at a grey port for two days
Train line, stone and grey 
RO-RO roll on roll off 
The container drivers 
Speed for their wages 
Uh-containers 
Uh-and their drivers
