The Fall - Touch Sensitive music video

[TheMightySalami1]

This and "No Xmas for John Quays" are my favourite Fall songs.

[daylon1240Bloodshot]

3:14 tree

[nolovelost92]

This is a really good pop song.

Should've been in the top 10 at least.

[Mr7Jackal7]

They gotta a bloody cheek...

Lethal MES...

Thank you.

[dexilee]

i love MES-this song should of been a hit-instead of the shite pop-out these days-its criminal-

[patmuck]

feckin tune!!!

[GreatLoverFriendTM]

what about the meek?

[thehayseed]

shoulda been a top 10 hit internationally for them dammit.

[kapujanincs]

MTV - what the fuck happened?!

[ZombCore]

Yeh!! I'm all the 5's. Up The Fall!!

[salmonico]

That bass is fuckin mental

[proliteguy]

@salmonico that bass is Julia Adamson - superstar of Stockport

[proliteguy]

@salmonico oops meant to say the guitarist not the bass player - bit of a difference

[kitsune2323]

@salmonico Their all effin mental!



[coptersoisoi]

Seems Mark will be playing in March (11rh I believe 2011) at Hotel Utah Saloon off of 4th South of slots San Francisco.

[DoctoriOrdi]

Who knows ?

[paul92465]

If Mark E Smith learned an American Tennessee accent he could easily play the life of Johnny Cash. He looks a lot like him. Just agree with me

[heuningdrank]

@paul92465 he looks more like Mick Jagger than Jagger himself

[coptersoisoi]

@heuningdrank lol

[d2777d]

@paul92465 The pic where Cash is flipping everyone off? Yep!

[costellodan]

I never get tired of this fantastic tune. :)

[costellodan]

@costellodan What are the lyrics in the mid-part of the song? "Living in the hard core porn shop lately?" or "Living in the posh part of Blackley?" - no sites seem to have the accurate lyrics....:)

[jjdecani]

Mark E really didn't like that guitarist, did he?

[jonanjello]

@jjdecani

I sense that too!

[louiecostello]

the fall have had so many members that half their fans (it seems from these comments) have actually been in the band haha

[ady10001]

He reminds me of Alex Higgins.

[mspubquiz83]

god bless the person who mixed this

leaving the deep end in on the toms

[pianoman74]

yeah!!! finally one song where I can NEVER forget the lyrics even with lots of booze! hey hey hey hey!

[frankbough1955]

nhs dental work mark?

[CraxiProfessional]

HEY!HEY!HEY!HEY!

[makky123]

its funny watching this when you think that all the other musicians are now in bin bags in marks garage

[deanfwj]

Can anyone tell me where this was filmed? The underpasses look like the ones around the fly over on Old Kent Road in London, and the sky line seems to have Guys Hospital and Nat west Tower further back...it's racking my brains! Maybe on the roof at Driscoll House or the Old deaf and Dumb School... Yes I maybe halucinating this! Any help?

[smithsmoz17]

MES well gives a cheeky smile whilst throwing that bottle and then tries to hide it.

[liamjwolves]

haha what a bloke

[feralpriest]

theres a difference between MES/corsa and Duffy/diet coke.

[tertommy]

MES proves sobriety is over rated.

[jonanjello]

MES has got it out for that guitar actor, huh!

[macchilavel]

hahah was he as wasted for this video as he looks?

[TheZykk]

My english is not that good, still: *****

[LomaxMcGee3]

Why wasn't this a crossover hit man!? The Fall never got theirs. :(

[stevenuuu1212]

Why can't The Fall have a Christmas number 1?

[salmonico]

Cool, lazy, fun video just like all videos should be.

Nothing can top The Fall.

[bphstanley]

best music video of all time.....

[asubjectiveopinion]

They're maaaaaaah favourite group.

[SABushcraft]

They're all touch sensitive when I'm done with them.

[jamesclelland82]

mark e smith what a legend

[bobzillagrr]

@EdWood2006 i think its because hes never sold out in terms of making the music he wants to make - and he needs money just like everyone else so why not have it in a corsa advert. its not like his whole career has been based on writing songs against corsa or anything

[sonetlumiere12345678]

The fall are one of the few bands that seem to get better as their career moves on.

[durruti1936]

It's like they drank themself sober

They get better as they get older

[ralphinio4]

I thought they ate themselves fitter?!

[destructivedandy]

Pefect metaphor!

[KuradiUuserneim]

Superstar Mark E. and His Fabolous Fall-all-mighty

[Jonnyinthebasment]

Blaaaaaaaaaaargh, Anyone know what ablum this is on?

[tremelodios]

The Marshall Suite

[diskochimp]

Bring back Julia Nagle!

[Granty2888]

Without a doubt the worst song I have ever had the mis-fortune to hear.

[eyewoodsay]

p.s they rock live

[wiscsuzski]

They rocked when i saw 'em in Madison back in 1983.

[eyewoodsay]

fecking hate this...like the fall...met mark smith before they played a gig in oldham..i was a bit star struck..he was friendly at first....then he turned into a right cocky bastard...if i ever meet you again mr smith i wont be so polite...your a knob

[Louiseskybunker]

i was born in 1966 and i am grouchy and horrible to every one all the time... imagine being born earlier. is supergrouch factors!!

[theglamkinks]

1962-old and kranky-smith might be difficult,but the tunes are special

[Louiseskybunker]

imagine when our normal soul gets NABBED by the special forces and you must obey the creative URGES, " they got a bloody cheek"!!

[brianwilson49]

he is MES and you are not

[smithmarke]

I actually purchased a Corsa based on this.

[eyewoodsay]

stop watchin tv

[davepx]

You're lucky, I bought a Ford Corsair based on this. Was a bit pissed & had a bit of an earwax buildup at the time, y'see

[asubjectiveopinion]

You think that's bad, I ended up with a Cane Corso, lovely dog though, fucking great in traffic.

[tofupuppy]

Great song & video, and super loon jumping! Thanks for putting this up. God knows The Fall can be disappointing and live you can't be sure what it's going to be, but it's undeniable that unlike many 'solid and reliable' groups you have the chance of something BRILLIANT.

[TennielLaTwarsk]

Thanks so much stefd75 this is F.A.BBBBB!!!!

[willbaird]

this was on some dodgy advert innit, shame that, dont deny mark the money , ... but still... dont give the bastards nuttin' innit... don't vote! it only encourages the bastards.

[Nechepsos]

always brilliant!

[leftygoldblatt55]

Saw ME and co 1982 soton uni, great then and fuckin grate now

[smithmarke]

Julia looks amazing @ 2.55

[Venomous9]

Going to see them live on Sunday. Not sure what it'll be like.

[spurtfather]

in edinburgh? it should be good, judging from the poster!! what's that about?!

[EatMyKnobCheese]

On this evidence it's going to be shit.

[Venomous9]

The most disappointing thing is that John Cooper Clarke didn't show up, meaning we had to wait an extra hour. Was a shame, but they did a good show in the end.

[1apart1]

This is like the second Fall track I have ever heard. I'm hoping to buy some of their stuff in the future :) I'm well digging this lol!

[SonofaReaperMan]

Top song from a top album, I listen to it most weeks.

NH

[CloudStrifeOfficial]

God i fuckin love this band

[airmiami]

Mad! I aint seen this un for a while. I'm on drums in this one! It was bloody cold that day too... Mark, you're a c*nt but a legend too.. hahah!

[MarshallElectric]

awesome - are you in that book that talks about all the ex-members? have you read it?

[bunnee777]

mark e smith, can you do no wrong? brilliant lyrics, hypnotic arrangements, you fit me JUST RIGHT!

[RutgerHK]

The real battle against soberness and ageing in only 3 minutes.

[laticspaul]

Good work, never seen this video before, great song. Shame that he sacked this band, I liked this line up.

[EmmaCharlotteStubbs]

he sacked them because he's foolish

[binstig]

every decision he makes is within good reason. my favourite lineup is the current one. really tight live band.

[getorphan]

but a talented fool. Just happened to be scanning some Fall vids and noticed you were here too. We seem to be watching some of the same vids elsewhere too.

[jonnywotsit]

Ha ha. Bet you felt like throwing yer sticks at the singer (sometimes).

[Msndude07]

theres a singer?

[wicka6]

Cunt!

[yerbafran]

you dont know mark e smith? are you a fucking greenday fan or something? for fucks sake

[jonnywotsit]

Yet another brilliant Fall moment. So many to choose from....

[JohnnyTrotz]

[dividsmythe]

pure genius mes

[paulhobanx]

MARK E LEGEND!

[Kagemusha22]

Christ I didn't realise this was a Fall song, which advert was this used in? I can remeber the first 40 seconds being repeatedly played in my head.

[stefd75]

some corsa ad, the cars play hide and seek

[Kagemusha22]

Ah thanks. :)

[jasonbrown1987]

yes the fall ARE the best

[feardhorcha]

YOU SAY WHAT ABOUT THE MEEK,

I SAY THEY GOT A BLOODY CHEEK!!

[newbigprinz]

magical

[citroenman]

Thanks for this-made my night

[infradig]

great to have this back on utube

[spurtfather]

thats a good video, like the bottle chuck at the end.

[durruti1936]

Remember watching my recording of this for the first time when MTV2 120 Minutes finally played it after..erm..about three years of requesting. Glad to see it here again.

[somepleb]

Fucking brilliance! I hadn't seen this before, thanks for sharing. The Marshall Suite is a stunning record, and this is one of its many highlights.

After that Brownies disaster, this video just proves that The Fall are interminable. J. Cash on the rooftop-ah!

[flobbypeas]

the fall are probably my favourite band ever and this is probably my favourite song

[jjj7477]

good to have this one back again,fine quality....conspicuous by it's absense.

[ammocity2008]

filmed on a roof top and subway on the old kent road, I believe ;-)

[stefd75]

indeed you are right, was you there

[smithmarke]

Typically glamorous Fall location.

[machieaveli]

Fucking finally. Man I love this song.
