Artist/Band: The Fall
Lyrics for Song: Just Waiting
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Fall



Pensioner's waiting for leap year to come

And the young singer's waiting to sing

And there's a gardener outside a big estate

Waiting for the grass to turn green



The drunk is waiting for an easy mark

The hitchhiker is waiting for a ride

And the prisoner's waiting for a prison break

And the surfer is waiting for the tide



Ah, just waiting



You know everything comes to a standstill

Nothing seems to make a turn

'Cause the worm's still waiting for the early bird

And the early bird's waiting for the worm



And nobody wants to do nothing

Just waiting for a finger in the pie

And waiting for a call from a TV show

Or waiting for her uncle to die 1 2 3



Everybody's waiting for something

And nothing ever turns out right

'Cause the night shift is waiting for the morning

And the burglar is waiting for the nights



Congregation is waiting for the vicar

And the vicar is waiting for the groom

The groom is waiting for his new bride

But the bride is waiting for June



And everybody is just waiting

And nobody wants to settle down

They got their heads in

A holo-video



The cretin' is waiting for U2 to come on

MTV again

But the producer is waiting for the blond bird

And the blond girl's waiting for him



Nobody wants to do nothing

Just waiting for their chips and their pie

Waiting' for a call from a big quiz show

Or waiting for some rich relation to die



You know everything comes to a standstill

Nothing ever makes a turn

And the worm is waiting for the grass to turn green

While the early bird is waiting for the worm



I don't think I can really stand it no more

I don't think I can go through it again



I'm just waiting

I'm just waiting

I'm just waiting

I'm just waiting



Yeah, bees are waiting for honey

And I'm putting it on the back burner for now

'Cause everybody's racing and fawning and skivin'

And honey, I'm waiting for you



Just waiting

Ah, just waiting

Ah, just waiting

Ah, just waiting


Just Waiting - The Fall

Released by The Fall, 'Just Waiting' stands as a quintessential example of the band's post-punk evolution, characterized by its driving rhythms and Melvish's distinctive vocal delivery. The track exemplifies the group's signature blend of angular guitar work and rhythmic precision, capturing the restless energy that defined their sound in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As a standalone recording, it reflects the band's commitment to creating dense, textured soundscapes that pushed the boundaries of traditional punk structures. The song remains a staple of their discography, illustrating their ability to maintain a raw, urgent aesthetic while exploring complex musical arrangements. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey a sense of anticipation and tension through its instrumentation and lyrical themes.
