The Fall - DISSOLUTE SINGER lyrics

rate me

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
