High Tension Line

The Fall · 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong: 39 Golden Greats [2004]

High tension line, step down



Jeanette Fletcher is strange

But not in a horrible way

And Michelle Spencer is this tight

Come and hear her today



And see forty-year olds

In multicolored shirts

It never used to concern me

But now it's making me say



High tension line, step down



Buying houses and doing them up far far away

Got at my shoulder, CDTI and behind me, TDK

You have to go far for the simple and unadorned

And please excuse my words, wandering



High tension line, step down



At my feet, CDTI breakdown

And I pick up the phone, no-one

And am far too far fast for sampling

Just spend my time avoiding



High tension line, step down



Life is nothing more than a disposable

Facial tissue in a brass bin and spawn

Take it out, I notice face imprint

And please excuse my words, I'm wandering



High tension line, step down
