The Fall lyrics
by Lovejoy
[Verse 1]
Under the weight of a broken nose
It's not that simple, but he won't seem to notice
There must be more to this
So leave those sink estates, and let's book a holiday
We're painting all the counties in blue
'Cause we're already boring, and we're already hoarding
What else have we got left to accrue?
[Chorus]
And the ramblers will say
"It's got a marvellous view"
But they don't know how many lives it took, no
Thеy'll never know what you knew
[Refrain]
And wе're so calm, but we're f*cking scared, f*cking scared
And we're so calm, but we're f*cking scared, f*cking scared
And we're so calm, but we're f*cking scared, f*cking scared
And we're so calm, but we're f*cking scared of people like you
[Verse 2]
Under the weight of some Sertraline
A couple Prozacs, and now I'm pumping dopamine!
There must be more to this
We've got a country house now, old dog has been put down now
It's nice to be around trees
Custom license plate on our Audi R8
How many grocers does one county need?
[Chorus]
And the ramblers will say
"It's still a marvellous view"
But that treadmill still looms
Of your hedonic misuse
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
So come on, one and all and see the apathy
The reams of grey stencils that fill the tapestry
I look to all of you and see a different f*cking species
Aspiration for a different destination to me
Across the Pennines, there's a thin blue line, a knife and a mall
I would do something, if it wasn't all so effort-full
'Cause I'm so high, my brain can't even look at the fall
And when you've reached the top, there's nowhere else to go but
[Outro]
H-ah
