Ten Houses Of Eve
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
And can you enter the ten houses of Eve?
And will you deny your own treat?
Dare you enter the ten houses of Eve?
Turn around and face the ten houses of Eve
If only
Identity art
If only the shards would relocate back in place
In your blue green and grey heart
For
Bedecked in lace
If only thoust could
In a rap sort of style
Understand
Will those shards relocate
If only...
Can you dig the ten houses of Eve?
Turn around and look at the ten houses of Eve
And will blood flow 'til you see
Do you believe you can enter the houses of Eve
Wake up and see
_____________, yeah
Do you believe?
The ten houses of Eve
Ten Houses Of Eve
Ten Houses Of Eve stands as a distinctive song in The Fall's expansive and often idiosyncratic catalogue. Mark E. Smith's band has long been celebrated for their relentless experimentation and refusal to adhere to conventional pop structures. This recording captures the group's signature post-punk energy, characterized by Smith's distinctive vocal delivery and the band's driving, repetitive rhythms. The track reflects the artistic restlessness that defined much of their output, blending angular guitar work with a sense of narrative urgency. While the song operates within the broader framework of their English post-punk identity, it showcases the unique sonic textures that have kept the band relevant across decades. It remains a compelling example of their ability to craft memorable, if unconventional, musical statements that challenge listeners while maintaining a cohesive artistic vision.
