This Nation's Saving Grace

The Fall This Nation's Saving Grace Lyrics
1.Mansion


2.Bombast

All those whose mind entitles themselves,
And whose main entitle is themselves,
Shall feel the wrath of my bombast!

Clanging in my heart.
Bastard! idiot!

Feel the wrath of my bombast!

Bastard idiot!
Feel the wrath.
Those who dare mix real life with politics
And go on regardless of the..of the discoveries
Will feel the wrath of bombast
Clanging in my heart

All those whose mind entitles themselves
And whose main entitle is themselves
Shall feel the wrath of my bombast!


3.Barmy

Out of england, i dream of its creamery
When i'm there i dwell on saxony.
In turkey when i've been due to world war i
Istanbul is the place 'cos of my birthday.

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy

I got everything
I got everything i want except for hungry
I got everything i want except for money.

I've got the best round set aside for parties
They'll have one when i've gone
In fact, they said so, good one.

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy

Friends disintegrate within circles of cash
Residue after years of fab genius
Is a pension for the jews
And a medal from the company which i wiped my butt on
And hung on a laburnum tree.

I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy

Just call me the first

I lay waiting hopefully on sloped grass green
I am barmy, bleedin' barmy

A dramatic verse

The programs lot
We break into tune
Take and bring a word
Ring a buzzer
Take and bring a word ( ' )

A dramatic verse


4.What You Need

How can i? how can i? how can i?
Get up, make a buck
Get up, make a buck
My race was bred on hash
My race was bred on hash
Get up, make a buck,
Get up, make a buck.
The stolen dark

How can i?
How can i?

Turn down a corner i
Been bleeding some itch
How can i?
An oven mitt
What you need for your verbose kitchen
Present notebook for you
A bit of iggy stooge.
Reduced smoking habit
Sex but not having it
One face
Two face new
Slippery shoes for your horrible feet
What you need is to love her so much
What you need is us as pressure group
Out of reach
On this we're all agreed
One: face with girl past
What you need
Two: a profile that is low-key
And to meet your horrible new dad
With a grudge against me
Is a censor for pals like these.
What you need is
One. what face?
Two: face new
Three. face mag for arse
Four. three rules of audience
Five. mug of geoff travis, framed
Six. the book theft is vision by the brothers copeland.
Finance luck
Out of reach
Get up, make a buck
How can i?
How can i?
How can i?
What you need


5.Spoilt Victorian Child

Past trees the fairies are flyin
Past trees with rose bushes in
The child was spoilt victorian
The child was spoilt victorian

Spoilt victorian child

Sugar and cakes appear mean
Sitting at the table
Tigers pop-up from books

Spoilt victorian child

Let's take it ten years on
You're looking back from then
Under rough grey blankets
Thread loose stained grey blanket

Spoilt victorian child

C.l.o. - pedia
E.n.c.y.c.l.o. - pedia

Musical chairs rouge cheeks he remembers
Thru' the aqueduct of five years
Spoilt victorian child shall avoid reflection
The child was spoilt victorian

Spoilt victorian child

Mirrors can't hid the toxic of disfigured poxes

Spoilt victorian child

Past trees the fairies are flyin
Past trees with rose bushes in
The butterfly shrugs to fly in
Sugar and iced cakes appear mean

The child was spoilt victorian
The child was spoilt victorian

Spoilt victorian child
C.l.o. - pedia

And you know that servants keep their order knowledge
And as you walk in on the footsteps steed babe
In the encrusted green unwild
You know you are a spoilt victorian child


6.L.a.

Odeon
Sky
Uncanny
Bushes are in disagreement with the heat

L.a.

Uncanny
Person
They have filled boulevards with white snow, scum-ball

L.a.

This is my happening and it freaks me out


7.Vixen

It had taken her a long time
Suddenly back on its own
To sit, friendless & alone
She is friendless and alone
I'm a vixen on its own

The triple gang & the throng
Did not feel helpless or alone

The vixen got no friends
She needs a poison pen
Even in switzerland
The people cry 'vixen'

Silver cross, all alone
The bird had flown
With their omen they'll fly
Had flown, silver cross
All alone
(so millions were broken hearted)
All alone, with no home
It's all alone

And some night, wind moves the leaves
They pick themselves up & run
Perhaps all that night possessed no way of telling time

It had taken her a long time
Suddenly back on its own
To sit, friendless & alone
She is friendless and alone
To sit friendless and alone
With no home, with no home
Vixen's got no home
She is friendless and alone
A long time on its own
It shone around her
Triple gang


8.Couldn't Get Ahead

Couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead

Come out of pub, the shop is closed
Come out of pub, harry wants to know
When the next bus is
I said five or ten minutes
I had my change in my hands
The bus flashes past.
My hands are caught

Couldn't get ahead. i just couldn't get ahead.

In a week, earned money for month
Got all my jobs done
My eyelids were sick of it
Gist was i could sleep for a day?
But bad bills have no respect for a decent man's rest
Flopping on the doorstep
Outlined in color red

Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead.

On an asiatic plane with wings not of the grain
Toilet queue was endless
Couldn't get a beer
The hostesses were muslims
When i get in toilet,
Light flashes: 'return to seat.'
I feared withdrawal
And i feared beer was making sludge of my head.

Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead.

Now my problems are solved
It's a remedy of old
I pretend i'm blind you see
Put on some armani clothes
And act like et
Where i'm at is a cabbage patch,
No longer strewn with weeds
Have a ghandi at me
Colour mags wish me well
No more, no get ahead.

Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead.


9.Gut Of The Quantifier

I'm telling you now and i'm telling you this
Life can be an onward, downward
Chip-chit-chip-chit-chip

I'm not saying they're really thick
But all the groups who've hit it big
Make the kane gang look like
An einstein chip
Chip
Nyc
Chip
A place to live
Chip
This is the thule group.
This is the cool group.
I'm telling you now and i'm telling you this.

Here are your wedding pictures
They are black
Stick it in the gut
Stick in the mud.
Boffins bray
Boffins brag
Stick it in the gut
Stick in the mud.

They take from the medium poor to
Give to the needy poor
Via the government poor
Give it to the poor poor
They're knocking on my door
Entrance
Entranced

Stick it in the mud
Stick it in the gut

Cheap fog
Cheap fog
Rotting scout-belt
Stick it in the gut

Who are the riff-makers.
Who are they really?
How old are the stars really?
Half-wit philanthropist, cosy charity gig
If god could see this
He'd stick it
They stick it in the gut
Cheap fog
Rotting scout-belt

Stick it in the gut
Stay in the mud
They take it from the medium poor
To give it to the medium poor
Via the government poor
And give it to the poor poor
Stick it in the gut
Red composite
Wealthy philanthropist
You son of a bitch

Entranced
Entrance
Entranced

Stick in the mud
Stick it in the gut

I'm telling you now
And i'm telling you this,
Life can be a downward chip.


10.My New House

My new house
You should see my house
My new house
You should see my new house

No rabbit hutch about it
I bought it off the baptists
I get the bills
And i get miffed
At the damn polyester fills
The interior is a prison unconscious

My new house
Keep away from my new house

Wash the drawers of pills
It's got window sills
With lead centred in the middle of them

My new house
Is no beatnik hang-out

That halifax copter
Sure dropped me a cropper

Sometimes i think i'll ring swine-tax
And go back to my flat

But my new house
I do love the mad things about it

According to the postman
It's like the bleeding bank of england

Creosote tar fence surrounds it
Those razor blades eject when i press eject

My new house
Could easily crack a mortal, it

The spare room is fine
Though a little haunted
By mr. reagan who had hung himself at number 13
Mr. reagan hung himself at number 13

It'll be great when it's decorated
My new house


11.Paint Work

We go two, twice all the way round those things
Two high ones, two low ones, yeah
Right man

Man stopped us at corner
He had a bloody nose
And then he opened his denim jacket
It was under his vest made out of tracing paper
Chest scars portrayed aztec life in his horrible...

...formation really late. main sequence stars were no good for
making carbon in this way. red giant stars...

Disfigured in a lady, tedious
Was over accountant's and on business
Then i woke up and i decided to recommence my diary
Then i read paula yates on vision cokeheads
Then i found out we were not going to italy
Later mam said 'those continentals are little monkeys'
And yesterday we has liver and sausage over

And sometimes they say 'hey mark you're spoiling all the
paintwork'
And sometimes they say 'your thumbprints are on the paintwork'

Distractors, post-doctors behind come in
Dressed in suits, grow talons
Everyone clenched plaits horror

And sometimes they say...

And sometimes i feel like saying
This is bloody newark
Or some drive-in slap place
In breda and in cologne
Sun in vicinity
As if i hadn't done 10 month's service
In the usa
On media guts

And sometimes they say...

And i think
If i'd wanted to live in holland
And if i'd wanted to be lived in
I'd have packed up and pissed off
When i was 16
Was the last thing i was ever imagining

Hey mark, why can't i live in england?

[the end of shoes, all warehouse shoe/you've got
Cheap new one, the target is too yahoo
And take over all the desparate
I'll take over discussion and
....humanely regular colours over...
...engineered oxidate zeppelin
Old world style, old man only juke box caught
All power jets on....spectacular facets]

And sometimes they say....
Hey, you're fucking up the paintwork

What is this thing they're so hard-assed about?

I thought i lived in england


12.I Am Damo Suzuki

Generous, valeric, jehovah's witness
Stands in cologne marktplatz
Drums come in
When the drums come in fast
Drums to shock, into brass evil

What have you got in that paper bag?
Is it a dose of vitamin c?
Ain't got no time for western medicine
I am damo suzuki

The fuck-up like red acid rain
Give it to me daki every day
Who is mr. karlheinz stockhausen?
Introduce me
I'm damo suzuki

Soundtracks, soundtracks
Melched together, the lights
The lights above you

Listener was in cahoots with fritz lieber
And read him every day
Recipe for fear gas, amount of salt ash
I have no time for western medicine
I am damo suzuki

May we go back to days pre-virgin
Cannot get on clear vinyl
The handle that was brass, is now brass evil
The rock that was an egg, is in wrong cradle
The hand that cradles the rock, makes egg gooey
I am damo suzuki

Is this west latent pattern?
Run it, says damo's spirit
Is this lesser european?
Speak it, says damo's spirit
I am damo suzuki


13.To Nkroachment: Yarbles

Full credit
Everyday you have to die some
Everyday you have to cry some
For the rumour
All the good times are past and gone
Wipe the tears from your eyes son

On the landing
They found
Full credit
In the bathroom the presence was luminous

Everyday you have to die some
Everyday you have to cry some
All the good times are past and gone....

On the landing they found full credit
In the bathroom the presence was illuminous


14.Petty (thief) Lout(Thief)

Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
Tv documentary that it produced

When he whistled in the street
The men would turn around in fear
Of being thought effete

Petty thief lout

Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
Crime

Hides records in his drawer at home
Especially when they are rare
Never gives 'em out to every tom dick & harry
Who stole before from petty thief lout

Un the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout

Suburbia holds
More than you care for

One must make sure
When leaving the house
Never to have white powder on the nose about

F-prints
F-prints on the fingers
Sprout

Great tempus onus
Suburbia holds more than you care for

Petty thief lout


15.Rollin' Dany

Well everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' dany
Rollin' dany
He was the rollin' man

Well dan walked into the old dancehall
Told the woman he loved 'em all
Two six women did a dance and crawl
And i'm-a telling ya man
This cat'd fool 'em all

Rollin' dany
He was the rollin' man
Go!

And three four five six cats linked up against the wall
And m..m..m..mothers you dared the girls
But if you loved ya women and ya loved 'em right
Well i'm-a telling ya man
They were in for a fight

From rollin' dany
He was the rollin' man
Go!

Well everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' dany
Rollin' dany
He was the rollin' man


16.Cruiser's Creek

What really went on there?
We only have this excerpt:

There's a party going on down around here
Cruiser's creek yeah
Watch the shirt-tails flapping in the wind
Sidewalk running
See the people holding from the back
Hat-boaters tilting
There's a party going down around here
Cruiser's creek now

Uh cruiser's creek yea (5x)

Got nice pink bubbles in my mouth
From what i've taken
There's a party come around annual
Cruiser's creek now
And bianco on the breath guaranteed
Cruiser's creek yeah
Cruiser's creek now
Cruiser's creek

Cruiser's creek yeah (3x)

See the street-litter twisting in the wind
Crisp bags turning
See b&h cartons laughing in the wind
Road-litter turning
Spent forty-five minutes last night
Parallel crease, pow!
There's a good mid-afternoon breeze
In the air now
Welcome treats from party
My brain is clear now
No more red wedge in the pub or ztt stuff
At cruiser's creek now
Cruiser's creek yeah

Cruiser's creek
(rambling chorus by brix et al)

There's a party going down around here
Next to freedom street
Get the last of the poison off my chest
Cruiser's creek

I crave sex behind steel cabinets
It's for what i'm yearning
And there's a dim chance it's what i'm gonna get
At cruiser's creek yeah
At cruiser's creek now
At cruiser's creek

Workforce! limited!
Cruiser's creek yeah!

Somebody went and left on the gas
Checkpoint, main gate
As i lit a number 6 cigarette
Like a wick, burning
Cruiser's creek.

Stamp it out just before it's too late
Turn the tap off.
My name is big hero, mate
Cruiser's creek
Avoid disaster
And i imagine
The sound of its blast, yeah.

There's a party going down around here
Cruiser's creek now

Watch the shirt-tails flapping in the wind
Sidewalk running
See the people holding from the back
Hat-boaters tilting
There's a party going on around here
Cruiser's creek now
Cruiser's creek yeah
Cruiser's creek

Nuptial!
Annual!
Freaks limited!
Cruiser's creek!
