Repetition
Fall · Other Songs - Fall
We're gonna get real speedy
We're gonna wear black all the time
You're gonna make it on your own.
Cos we dig
Cos we dig
We dig
We dig repetition
We dig repetition
We dig repetition in the music
And we're never going to lose it.
All you daughters and sons
who are sick of fancy music
We dig repetition
Repetition in the drums
and we're never going to lose it.
This is the three R's
The three R's:
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
Oh mental hospitals
Oh mental hospitals
They put electrodes in your brain
And you're never the same
You don't dig repetition
You don't love repetition
Repetition in the music and we're never going to loose it
President Carter loves repetition
Chairman Mao he dug repetition
Repetition in China
Repetition in America
Repetition in West Germany
Simultaneous suicide
We dig it, we dig it,
we dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition
There is no hesitation
This is your situation
Continue a blank generation
Blank generation
Same old blank generation
Grooving blank generation
Swinging blank generation
Repetition, repetition, repetition....
Repetition
Repetition stands as a defining track within the expansive catalogue of The Fall, capturing the band's signature post-punk intensity and Martin Hannett's distinctive production style. The recording exemplifies the group's tendency to explore themes of monotony and cyclical existence through driving rhythms and jagged guitar work. As part of their broader discography, the song reflects the band's commitment to challenging conventional song structures while maintaining a raw, energetic presence. It remains a compelling song point for listeners interested in the unique sonic landscape that defined the Manchester-based group during their most influential years. The track's enduring appeal lies in its ability to balance experimental textures with an accessible, propulsive groove that characterizes much of their celebrated body of work.
