The Fall - Prole Art Threat

[dadaproletariat]

UMBRRRRRRTZAP THE SUBJECT = greatest moment in music ever

[LondonDada]

"Travelling 3rd class on a 1 class train, I'm cranked at nought like a Wimpy crane".

- unsurpassable essence of street wise genius.

[danielhintz]

stunning track

[enterprise1954]

The Fall and the Clash saw me through my lasy year at college. Remember buying Slates and Black Market Clash. Both ten inch EPs of perfection.

[rcm2680]

"proles and animals are free"

[SuperVoodooguru]

the best era for The Fall - just about managing to play - before the useless Brix/Michael Clark shit

[nath909]

Awesome drums.

[atf487]

the fall = best band in the history of music. no contest.

[gwugluud]

@atf487 There's no way I can blame anyone for saying it. There's nothing I can even compare them to. Their music is fascinating; particularly their 70s/early 80s material. What few lyrix I can make out are amazing....It's BRUTAL to try to decipher Brit street slang if you're from Texas...lol

[MetroidFan621]

Check that epic bass!

[antihostile]

Sheer bloody brilliance.

[rgonko]

a rush of the fall

[TS50ER]

Slow those drums down and lo and behold Adam and the Ants. As good as the Ants were, The Fall are the Kings Of The Wild Frontier!

[CameraPrincipis]

My fave fall track.

Mark E Smith has got away with 108 years of sheer brilliance.....

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

Pink press threat!

MAN WITH CHIP: I'm riding third class on a one-class train.

I'm cranked at nought like a wimpey crane.

I'm a pink prole threat.

GENT IN SAFE-HOUSE: Get out the pink press threat file

and Brrrptzzap* the subject. (* = scrambled)

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

MAN WITH CHIP: It's de-louse, safe-house time

(now v. bitter) When I get to the safe house

Hanging rhyme

Hang this crummy blitz trad. by its neck

Pink press threat

I escaped the pink prole effect

GENT IN SAFE-HOUSE: It's a new prole art threat

It's recluse, safehouse time

NARRATOR: Then the clan began

Agenda Item One

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

Scene: Safe-house Give them nail files, soon

GENT AND STAFF- And looking at this agenda, we have a bit of

now revealed a problem here

to be m.i.9 Get out the pink press threat file

New prole art threat the subject

It's safehouse, safehouse time

(ALL: Everybody hears the hum at 3:00 a.m.)

But in the safehouse, it's not around

Pink press threat

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

GENT: Get out and apply the wet lib file

Vs. this new prole art threat

Safehouse, safehouse tone

[rpaxon]

One of their best

[sinexag]

This song is mental. I can't get over it, every time I hear it I get into the groove. The drums they're hypnotic. Prole Art Threat!

[pynchon42]

Yes yes yes. Galloping and stumbling and mesmeric.

[MrAnus]

The first Fall song I ever heard; I think I was 14. Did something to me.
