Fall · Other Songs - Fall
Where's the sixty quid you borrowed off me
for the gas? I will give you a kiss
Hillary
Hey Hillary
'New Faces' on Saturday at six
Brought you back to me
Hillary
I'm sure it was you in the new Audi
Outside Sainsbury's
Hillary
Remember when you needed three caps of speed
To get out of bed
And now you're on ecstasy
Hillary
With your daft African pop
And that wine you call bull's blood
Hillary
I thank the lord that you still don't live next to me

The song stands as a testament to the band's prolific output and their enduring influence on alternative rock. Without relying on specific lyrical references, the composition showcases the dynamic interplay between the band members, highlighting their unique approach to songwriting and performance. 'Hillary' remains a compelling song in The Fall's discography, reflecting their commitment to experimentalism and their refusal to conform to conventional pop structures.
