Fat Skeleton
Bear Quartet · Everybody Else [1995]
perfect sunday morning
only slightly hangover
making coffee perfect hot and black
cranking up your favourite record
feels like falling
in it once again
feels like falling
in that for the first time
watching TV for several hours
no commitments that tire you
sunday morning,
perfect summer
sunday morning,
no alarm-clock no telephone
feels like falling
in it once again
feels like falling
in that for the first time
Fat Skeleton
Released in 1995 on the album Everybody Else, "Fat Skeleton" is a defining track by the British punk rock band Bear Quartet. The song exemplifies the group's signature style, blending raw energy with a distinct melodic sensibility that set them apart from the broader post-punk scene. As part of their early discography, the recording captures the band's transition into a more polished yet fiercely independent sound. The track remains a staple of their catalogue, often cited as a key example of their contribution to the 1990s indie rock movement. Its enduring appeal lies in its direct, unadorned approach to songwriting, which resonated deeply with fans of the era and continues to be celebrated for its authenticity.
