And here I was, since somewhere around 1989, thinking it was "Bastard, stinkhole, analyst..." and at the end something like "xxxx xxxx stick to the list", glad to see I'm not the only one with a different interpretation. Initially, for some years, I was sure I was missing the obvious. Obviously, I was. Baghdad has never sounded so clear, eh? Right. Thanks for all the beautiful confusion, The Fall.
another one of MES' eccentricities! In one of the spoken word bits of the Perverted By Language/Bis DVD, the drag queen also pronounces Baghdad as Bazdad. Cursive g's look like z's? I assume it's all part of "the plan."
Best indie song ever this is, but when i heard 'all you really have to do' by white denim it made me think of this song, fuck knows why, it's just one o them things!!!!!!
awesome!

Wow, my comment was removed as spam, but it was not spam. How odd, to see PC ruling the comment section of a Fall video. Lame.

Thanks for that. According to the official fall website its baghdad and not Bazdad. I did some further research and you are quite correct.

For years I've wondered what they're chanting, is it "Just a Steel Cog Analyst"?

Hi, No its Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst. Most of the lyrics are on the Fall online website.

I wonder what "Baghdad Space Cog Analyst" means. Or maybe that's a stupid question, since we're talking about The Fall.
Thanks for your quick reply, and loads of thanks for uploading these tracks - I'm having a load of fun listening to this stuff again.
