The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
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

This recording remains a testament to their enduring influence on alternative music, showcasing the raw power that defined their approach to performance and composition.
