The Fall - No Xmas for John Quays

[ArcadePerfect]

I refuse to live like a cursed hermit this Xmas.

:D*

[LondonDada]

@ArcadePerfect Xmas is for lovers (young) , for the rest its terminally tedious family or crucifying isolation.

Life sucks, but afterdeath is probably worse.

You gotta admire God's blindingly sadistic humour :-)

"he thinks he is more interesting than the world"

[MegaKevorkian]

@raahead Who does reeheed?. Please enlighten us all, or are you just repeating Fall lyrics verbatim, for no specific reason.

[PieRCiNK]

no christmas for junkies

[MegaKevorkian]

@PieRCiNK Aha, someone got it straight away!. Its not hard to suss out the multy latered lyrics of M.E.S, n his mushy penned lyrics.Im perturbed that its taken so many Fall fans to catch on to the fact that it is Junkies. Fuck me John Cleese, u cant be serious, better call on Manuele, from Barcelona.What a sorry n sad state of affairs.

@gothiccokeboi fuck frank skinner 

[madcapoperator]

@cubanzombie You're not the only one :)

[MegaKevorkian]

@cubanzombie Cant believe no one can differentiate between John Quays and JUNKIES!. Shit, what are Fall Fans I.Qs at the mo?

[KaYotheAwesome]

@cubanzombie You never sussed that one, man I bought this album when I was around 17 & still got it within a few listens. What else were you expecting from Mr Smith?

[cubanzombie]

@KaYotheAwesome really i was paying attention to the music.

i usually do, because you know...its music, not just lyrics.

[MegaKevorkian]

@cubanzombie Too right you are a bumbling dumb ass even to think about Googling John Quays! Im stunned and surprised that anyone into the Falls, multi layered lyrics, cannot make the connection with Junkies.As 4 being one step ahead of M.ES, you surely are a sad, deluded no Mark!. See ya mate, yeah cu mate

[vcny45]

always sang - no xmas for junkies

[j244dav]

used to think the lyrics were no xmas for john cleese.

It is a classic fall song

[MrWitchtrials]

''Found talking to the cigarette machine''. MES-wordsmith extraordinaire!

[snapkat]

Nowadays it refers to NZ's prime minister John Key, a right wing, US and Warner Brother sycophant. Luckily they didn't play it at their recent NZ gig, he might have though it was a homage.

3:42 and 3:48 ..... he mentions Midge Ure, when he wasn't still in Ultravox. Lol....probably hated Slik or had something against The Rich Kids

[manumaker]

There is no Christmas for junkies

No girls

No curls

Just the traffic passing by

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

[RachyCrazySpice]

Remember this on John Peel, I thought they were singing "No Christmas for John Cleese " .......... Well it was the late 70s

[j244dav]

@RachyCrazySpice I thought exactly the same.mark e smith is a legend

[frankbough1955]
