British People In Hot Weather

Fall · Other Songs - Fall

Fill green envelopes and send them to ya

On train rideread marx tracts

Play walkmans loud behind ya

Demonstrate on oxford street

About what the hell they couldn't tell ya

British people in hot weather

Have a heart-to-heart with your sister

People in shorts drunk before ya

Beached whale in wapping

His armpit hairs are sprouting

Serpentine ah.... serpentine grrr...

British people in hot weather



Press hot houses waste tree statements

Compare your pearls before the king of monks

I'm telling yaoh

Do they know they can get cancer?

Designer tramp goes grrr...

Looking jolly from stoke

As he walks through and makes up

Titles like thisto order

They're well off their trolley

Smoking like a chimney

Bespectacled stare-out

British people in hot weather



I was a candidate for club 18-30

But I've been through all that shit before

British people in hot weather

That's itI'm looking straight for the car

If that's how you feellet's go

British people in hot weather

British People In Hot Weather

Released by the influential post-punk band Fall, this track stands as a quintessential example of their unique fusion of punk energy and art-rock sensibility. The song captures the band's characteristic blend of driving rhythms, atmospheric textures, and lyrical themes rooted in British working-class life and social observation. As part of their broader discography, it exemplifies the group's ability to create dense, layered soundscapes that have cemented their legacy in the post-punk canon. The recording reflects the era's distinct aesthetic, balancing raw aggression with melodic complexity, making it a defining piece of Fall's early work.
