Putta Block
Fall · Other Songs - Fall
Put a block on the words
This I hear on a train
We had salmon on a bus
At Epsom no races lost
We don't bet we just take ['tec]
Put a block on the words
Got no check on the world
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
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
Here's an independent chart moneyspinner
For all you people who've come a long way
Me and the guys played it for charity for spastics
We played it 10000 times
And raised 5 shillings and 7 and a half pence for charity
Cary Grant's wedding
Hail new puritan, righteous maelstrom
Have you ever heard a Bill Haley LP
What is this shit?
Everybody go Cary Grant's wedding
Putta Block
Fall's 'Putta Block' stands as a defining track within the band's influential post-punk and noise rock catalogue. Released during the group's prolific 1980s era, the song exemplifies their signature approach, blending aggressive guitar work with a driving, industrial rhythm that pushed the boundaries of traditional punk structures. The recording captures the raw energy and chaotic intensity characteristic of Fall's live performances, particularly those associated with their early British underground scene. As a key component of their discography, the track highlights the band's ability to fuse melodic sensibilities with abrasive textures, creating a sonic landscape that has deeply influenced subsequent generations of alternative and industrial music. Its enduring presence in the band's body of work underscores its status as a critical piece of post-punk history.
