The Fall - Leave The Capitol

[PeeyanoKeys]

reminds me of the feel of older Stones songs, except this feels like the track that inspired the older Stones songs

[ivycompton]

This song is so goddamn satisfying.

[g7txu]

This just caps it all

[Scitzowicz]

@g7txu yeah - it can suddenly hit you that way!... brilliant +*

[triumphadelic]

apparently HRH Prince William the Duke of Cambridge is a MASSIVE Fall fan & plays the Slates E.P. on a fuck off old skool ghetto blaster on his Air Sea Rescue 'elicopter . He was inspired by the track 'Leave the Capitol' and hence why he and Catherine are based in Anglesey. It is also rumoured that his mother Lady Diana may have had an affair with Mark E. Smith and was about to join the Fall on keyboards until MI6 stepped in....

[djw1964jdiv]

@triumphadelic I heard that rumour too

[mondopb]

Back in the early 80s we were convinced he said 'Hey look - there's a group called Japan' - a dig at David Sylvian. Disapointed when we found out he was saying 'I laughed at the great God Pan'

[pbrick6301]

you know in your brain-uh

[armandsdamanhoo]

is this a song about leaving capitol records or what?

[averilleX]

@armandsdamanhoo No he didn't like London! Could only afford "one room" .... in the chorus ....

[TheMagmagoblin]

@averilleX It's more about leaving Rough Trade records.

[pbrick6301]

Pretty good drumming.

Are there two singers on this track?

[pbrick6301]

Pretty good drumming.

[23angelful]

leave the capital,exit this roman shell.

[diskochimp]

I lived with cancer deathwipe.

[MagicAlex]

one of about 1,5643 Fall songs that are brilliant and pretty much unheralded.

[getorphan]

Then you know in your brain

You know in your brain

Leave the capitol!

Exit this roman shell!

join the factory star facebook site

[genki2genki]

Slates is what turned me on to The Fall.

[jazeyboy]

Quite possibly the Best. Fall. Song. Ever.

[gabrieldix64]

Belter!

[rvataha]

simply unbelievable and what is even more unbelievable is that after 30 freakin years and more released brilliant material than any band alive or dead, they are still unknown to 99.9% of the rock audience; screw them all we are smarter than them

[joeyramoney]

@rvataha I LISSEN TO RELATIVLY UNKNOWNE MUSICK THEREFORE I AM SUPERIORE

[vogelmandrie]

@rvataha Right ,but there are more genius bands still not well known after

40 years, Van Der Graaf Generator , Magma etc. etc.  who still play

[HellcoholicSin]

@rvataha

thats whats up!!!! lets keep them underground even though people sure are missing out!!!

[discoverydavid]

Leave the capitole...leave the payes natale...for funk sake!

[scrambang]

Leave the capitol!

[SPERANZA65]

Sure thing... he's a Roman God :-)

[PeeyanoKeys]

This song is like a very fucking groovy hours long good dream

[bmob712]

Clearly there has never been a better band than the fall.

[ClueSign]

It's always been clear to me!

[TijucaWeirdo]

"i laughed at the greek god Pan"

[ClueSign]

i think it's "great god Pan" -- but, whatever

[ivycompton]

Too good for words. Thank you Fall!

[fascistamericadotnet]

This is what music sounds like when you don't make compromises and only do it for the art.

[juankenon]

bahh they didn't do it for the art...MES sold his soul to repetiton repetition repetition.

[SPERANZA65]

727 views for this piece of fucking GENIUS.... it should be a hanging offence for all you shmucksssssss..... 5 dollars only u skinny rats.

[ClueSign]

Well there are several versions up. But absolutely right -- it's flipping brill and gets better every decade!

[SPERANZA65]

Excellent ClueSign!... i see it's more than doubled in the last 3 months.... all the best pal.

[Raizing22]

love the cover

[Dominicokey]

I fell in love with the world again after I heard this

[BunnymanVids]

@Dominicokey Me too!!

[woodyeckerslyke]

I didnae. I didnae.

[SPERANZA65]

i laughed at the great god Pan...!!

[woodyeckerslyke]

Hotel maids smile in unison

[vkman34]

London sucks, really. Even the Romans hated it and they built the place.

[rylandevans]

this song is fucking brilliant. that is all.

[muffinspork]

"I will leave this fuckin' dump"

[morphologies]

the worst band in the entire history of english music, yet still manage to piss in the mouth of paul fucking mccartney and his stupid fucking beatles band. the fall rule.

[theface79]

Couldn´t play but had their say; Pauley´s still chocking. And you know in your brain, you know in your brain...

[livingthruchemistry]

Can't play?? The bassline is ace.

[theface79]

Right, glorious bassline, but not exactly done by jazz-standards. As it should be.

[livingthruchemistry]

Touche...Very True. haha

The point been they rock though man?!

I can't believe i was ignorant for so long about this band.

And i thought Sonic Youth were cool. They aren't fit enough to lace Mark E Smith's boot's.

[theface79]

Yes, the feedback on this track alone balances Sonic Youth´s entire career out. And anyone could acquire the technical skills for that in one year.

[grecian300]

Too good, too good.
