The Fall - WINTER (HOSTEL MAXI) lyrics

rate me

Entrances uncovered

Street signs you never saw

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter

You got Manny in the library

Working off his hangover 3:30

You get the spleen at 3:15

But it's 3:13

The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me

He was about 7

His mother was a cleaning lady

She had a large black dog

And the mad kid said:

"Gimme the lead

Gimme the lead

Gimme the lead"

I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house

The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican

There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside

With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side

...on the inside and they didn't even smoke...

Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me

"I'll take both of you on,

I'll take both of you on"

Then he seemed the young one

He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat

With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones

He'd just got back from the backward kids' party

Anyway then he seemed the young one

But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom

Entrances uncovered

Street signs you never saw

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter

Entrances uncovered

All enquiries too

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter

WINTER #2

On the first floor of the dryout house

Was a replica dartboard

And the man on the floor

Sorta went out of window, over the lawn

And round to the mad kid

"Please take this medallion,

Please wear this medallion.

It's no sign of authority.

Wear the gold and put it on"

(Winter)

So [around the] mad kid

Man on the first floor said

"I just looked round

I just looked round

I just looked round

"And my youth it was sold"

Two white doves cross the sky

There fly krakens

And sometimes, that little.....

Makes me tremble

Courtesy winter

The mad kid had 4 lights, the average is 2.5 lights

The mediocre has 2 lights, the sign of genius is three lights

There's one light left, that's the one light

That's the science law
