His heart organ was where it should be
His brain was in his arse
His hand was well out of his pocket
His psyche's in the hearth
Had a beard which was weird
Some time ago heard Ramones in '81
Has a Spanish guitar
Real ale, curry as well - sophisticate!
Spanish guitar doesn't get far
In computer teaching job
His dreamgirl sings adverts for the Weetabix
A fancied wit that's imitation of Rumpole of Bailey
Who's causes and rags were phoenix-like
They were do-do like
They were comfort blanket type
Pho-do in fact
Pho-do in fact
Pho-do in fact
He had a weak pisser
And one night at darts match
Decadent sandwich quaff
He showed he was a big fan of double-entendre
Saw Not the Nine O'Clock News History of the World Part One
Twice each at least
Twice each at least
Twice each at least

Mere Pseud Mag Ed
Mere Pseud Mag Ed stands as a quintessential example of The Fall's idiosyncratic approach to songwriting and performance. Mark E. Smith's distinctive vocal delivery drives the track, weaving through the band's signature post-punk textures with characteristic intensity. The song reflects the group's tendency to embrace obscurity and linguistic playfulness, creating a soundscape that is both abrasive and deeply engaging. Within their extensive discography, this recording captures the raw energy that defined much of their output during this period. It serves as a reminder of the band's ability to craft compelling music that defies conventional categorization, maintaining a unique identity throughout their long career.
