The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
a nasty habit of scratching my noseMy codename's happy
harryI'm into cbI've had loads of jobsFor very minute
lollyCreation schemesSo I suppose I was luckyAnd the
money it tookTo buy a cb setTook lines off my bellyMy
codename's cedar plankI'm into cbI'm into cbAt 16 I
drank cheap sherryGot plastered in the stations and
swing parksOff my mother I stole some moneyHad a treat
with a bottle of martiniSo sick I couldn't walk or
sitSince then I've not touched itI won't bore you with
tales of being greedyI'm just into cbI'm into cbMy
family's a weird lotMy stepsister's got a horrible
growthListens to all this muzak shitReads smash hits
while she's eating her teaTo me it sounds like bad
cbMy father's not bad reallyHe got me these wires and
bitsApart from that he talks to me hardlyI'm just into
cbThis is happy harry plankFrom the land of waving
palmsCalling out to cedar plank477 ccThere's no code
13In the home of chocolate cityI'm having trouble with
the terminologyBut I'm into cbI've got this letter
before meIt's buff with a confidential sealI'd better
open itIt's a fine and a formal threatI should of listened
to new face in hellThe date expired last weekUp here
I forget what time it isIt says you're going to go
when you goOr else you're for it boyIf that's what
you get for having a hobbyNext mail you get will be
mail in jailIf that's what you get for having a hobbyNext
year mail in jailIt that's what you get for having
a hobbyNext time I'm out I'll join a riotThat's the
last you'll hear for meI'll keep clear of cbKeep clear of cb
I'm Into Cb
The Fall's 'I'm Into Cb' captures the band's signature post-punk intensity and Marc E. Smith's distinctive, often cryptic lyrical delivery. Emerging from a prolific era of experimentation, the track exemplifies the group's ability to blend abrasive rhythms with idiosyncratic themes. While the song stands as a standalone recording, it reflects the broader energy found in their extensive catalogue of singles and album cuts. The Fall consistently challenged conventional rock structures, and this piece serves as a testament to their enduring influence on alternative music. Listeners familiar with the band's work will recognize the characteristic tension and rhythmic drive that defined their sound throughout the decades.
