Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
This I hear on a train
This I hear on a train
We had salmon on a bus
At Epsom, no races lost
We don't bet, we just take
We don't bet, we just take
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Got a check from the worlds
Go and put a block on the works
Listen boys and girls
Just closer
On the clommererds
Just close off the words
Put a block on the words
The nine unknown men knew this
The nine unknown men knew this
Three sorts, the first along Louie's life
The second, the complete restructure of your pretentious life
Three, the only reason you know this
Is that it was well documented, but I say
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Put a block on the words
Putta Block
The Fall's 'Putta Block' stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of post-punk energy and absurdist humor. Released during the group's prolific late-1970s and early-1980s period, the track exemplifies Ian MacDonald's ability to fuse driving rhythms with surreal, often nonsensical lyrics that challenge conventional narrative structures. As a staple of their discography, the song captures the band's unique voice, characterized by a distinct blend of aggression and wit that defined the genre of English punk and influenced countless subsequent acts. Its enduring presence in their catalog highlights the band's commitment to creating music that is both intellectually stimulating and rhythmically compelling, cementing their legacy as pioneers of the genre.
