ENGLISH SCHEME
O'er grassy dale, and lowland scene
Come see, come hear, the English Scheme.
The lower-class, want brass, bad chests, scrounge fags.
The clever ones tend to emigrate
Like your psychotic big brother, who left home
For jobs in Holland, Munich, Rome
He's thick but he struck it rich, switch
The commune crap, camp bop, middle-class, flip-flop
Guess that's why they end up in bands
He's the green piece in us all
He's the creep-creep in us all
Condescends to black men
Very nice to them
They talk of Chile while driving through Haslingdon
You got sixty hour weeks, and stone stone toilet back-gardens
Peter Cook's jokes, bad dope, check shirts, lousy groups
Point their fingers at America
Down pokey quaint streets in Cambridge
Cycles our distant spastic heritage
Its a gay red, roundhead, army career, grim head
If we was smart we'd emigrate

;D I wonder if Johnnymarr (the young MB poster not the Smiths guitarist!) ever did get round to purchasing a Fall album?
It would have done him the world of good bless him.
I see that "Theme from sparta FC" narrowly missed top spot in Peel's festive fifty. Best Fall tune for years IMO (along with the mighty "Two librans" )

Radio 6 has just played the new single by Preston School of Industry (formed by former Pavement guitarist) and it sounds even more like The Fall than Pavement did (which is a lot.) Thumbs up then  |

Yeah, only digi I'm afraid, but that means you can get it on the net (broadband I suppose) and digital telly. But, um, not in your car, obviously  |
