The Fall Songtext
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?
And the ramblers will say
"It's got a marvelous view"
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?
And the ramblers will say
"It's got a marvelous view"
But we don't know how many lives it took, no
Thеy'll never know what you knew
And wе're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're fucking scared of people like you
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
Oh, it's nice to be around trees
Custom licence plate on our Audi R8
How many grocers does one county need?
And the ramblers will say
"It's still a marvellous view"
But that treadmill still looms
With your hedonic misuse
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 fucking 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...
*exhale*
Thеy'll never know what you knew
And wе're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm, but we're fucking scared of people like you
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
Oh, it's nice to be around trees
Custom licence plate on our Audi R8
How many grocers does one county need?
And the ramblers will say
"It's still a marvellous view"
But that treadmill still looms
With your hedonic misuse
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 fucking 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
