Underground Medicine

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 »

(Your nervous system, your nervous system)
(Underground medicine, underground medicine)

A spark inside
(Traverse up my hide)
And when it clicks
There's no resist

Every time I hear a new baby cry
I thank my spark inside

And you get underground medicine
Underground medicine
I'm but a nervous system
Underground medicine

I found a reason not to die
A reason for the ride
The spark inside
When it hits the mind you get
Underground medicine
Underground medicine
I'm but a nervous system
Underground medicine

I had a psychosomatic voice
And one time it might come back

Underground medicine
Underground medicine
I'm but a nervous system
Underground medicine

On my pants I spilled expectorant
And the colonel shot better with 30 pints
They took his cup away
Take it away, take it away
(Used to 'ground) medicine
(Used to 'ground) medicine
(Used to 'ground) medicine
