The Fall - DISSOLUTE SINGER lyrics
Dissolute singer
As far as they are concerned you live on 17 Fairy Lane
People relate to you
What you told them
18 months back then
Tall and frail but you're pale for real
In a [] of steel
And down west to east broadway
Same route as last week when couldn't find where he was due to play
That seemed eons away
Oh how he complained about doing a show that Friday
Backstage was doorless, brimming with rider
The Rolling Rocks you sneered at seemed like nectar at Canal St subway
Canal sets you pining only name familiar
Jail pumps me something, blots out all outside America
Canal Street's near Victoria, Bridge St connects Dalton
Damn can't remember
You, dissolute singer
Up and down west to east broadway
Same route as last week when couldn't find where he was due to play
That seemed eons away
Oh how he complained
(Tyne) Gibson, comedian teams up with so and so and so and so at Brownies
tonight
While owner (Timmy.. knee dee pop) is looking for three figures at
Brownies tonight
In both senses of the (whirl world)
Never before have I disliked the rain
I soaks, the long drips discarded
By now blessed office no smo- <cuts in one stereo channel>
<other channel> blots out all outside America
Canal Street's near Victoria, Bridge St connects Dalton
Damn can't remember
You, dissolute singer, right
<bits of the next bit occur at different times in each stereo channel>
Canal to Lexington no that is in Boston -- composer stays in groups
Alice is location wanton -- c
Never before have I disliked the rain
It soaks the long drips discarded -- zee
By now blessed office no smoking policy -- I give thanks and apologies to my constitution
Distorted soft on discarded
Is it England brittania newspaper
Artisan composer stays in groups
C programmer is b major
Disssolute singer down to social group zee
I give thanks and apologies to my constitution
Bless grandadddy
Teeth moans, brain moans and worries
This thing is amazing
Take beaten thrice daily then once fortnightly
Then soak in chromosome laced bud sub beer colon stretchy ersatz coffe and liquor
Twist neck with dough boy throttle a bread
Do not sleep for five days
Then return to street
Well bloody nora says my dead dad
Grandad says too much weight on you anyroad
You and your father
Their respected faces appear gigantic left and right above the city
skyline
Like Hawkman or Lex Luthor
In an embarrassment they see dissolute singer taping, tapping away at the vast stamina bank
Built up digging endless trenches lugging iron baths
Sweet sweat pain on lead water tank
Dissolute singer as you live for an s on 17 <cut>
<sung>And embarrassed they see dissolute singer
