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 »

Clear skin, clear head
Clear smile, dead style
Designer beach clothes
A little bit of a paunch.

This beach-boy Achilles,
A former leading light of radio
Drowned in suntan lotion
Makes a bold declaration:

'We drove the Moors back into the sea and now we ride their waves!'
And a little bit of something about the positive vibes of the sea
'I feel at one with the waves!'
He said: 'Let's get a Big Mac, tune into happening sounds, check out the chicks on the beach and 
chill out,

Chill out,
Chill out.'

'We all crawled out of the sea'--and then he winked--'didn't we?'
'We drove the Moors back into the sea and now we ride their waves!'
(Mark Smith)
Bountiful in the cities...
I am the fire in your lungs
I am the fire in your dead lungs
I am the fire in the airwaves

A & R man's dream!
