Music Scene

The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall

Oh-arr you're a good lad

Here is a pound note

The stupid bitch

They were made for each other

You should have met his brother

His mother was deaf and dumb

Well that stupid git

Played games with names

And the place he worked

And the women he fucked

He thought he were envy of the music scene

Part of the [choosy set]

Envy of the music [scam]

There comes long hair for the fair

No painters, take them away

Those bastards stripped me bare

In front of all those people

Stuck peanuts in my hair

And all the leaves are brown

I'll be part of the music scene

Envy of the choosy set

Part of the music scare

And arr you're a good lad

Oh here is a new flat

That stupid twat

Made for each other



You should have met his brothers

Real [fuckers]

That stupid kid

Played games with names

All the gigs he'd worked

And the women he'd fucked

He was part of the music scene

Envy of the choosy set

Part of the music scene

Leave a mark on the city

I'll smash your doors down

I'm a demolition worker

A metal construction worker

And behind our cultured vibes

Our affections are turning grey

Yeah, we're part of the music scene

Envy of the choosy scene

Part of the music scene

Part of the music scene

Part of the choosy scene

6 minutes!

6:40!

OK, studio, that's plenty

The Fall's 'Music Scene' captures the band's signature post-punk intensity, driven by Mark E. Smith's distinctive vocal delivery and the group's relentless rhythmic propulsion. Emerging from a prolific era of experimentation, the track exemplifies the Manchester-based outfit's ability to blend abrasive energy with lyrical obscurity. While the song stands as a standalone recording, it reflects the broader sonic landscape of the band's extensive catalogue, characterized by jagged guitar work and a cynical worldview. The Fall maintained a unique position within the English rock scene, consistently challenging conventional song structures and maintaining an uncompromising artistic vision throughout their long career. This recording remains a testament to their enduring influence on alternative music, showcasing the raw power that defined their approach to performance and composition.
