My New House Lyrics
You should see my house
My new house
You should see my new house
I bought it off the baptists
I get the bills
And I get miffed
At the damn polyester fills
The interior is a prison unconscious
Keep away from my new house
It's got window sills
With lead centred in the middle of them
Is no beatnik hang-out
Sure dropped me a cropper
And go back to my flat
I do love the mad things about it
It's like the bleeding Bank of England
Those razor blades eject when I press eject
Could easily crack a mortal, it
Though a little haunted
By Mr. Reagan who had hung himself at number 13
Mr. Reagan hung himself at number 13
My new house
For more info and clarification into how this New House was "bought off" the Baptists, "I get the bills/and I get miffed", or what kind of agency "Swine-Tax" is to us Yanks, the Fall has an unofficial Fall Lyrics Parade linked to their website. Just Google, or use Yahoo (or my personal fave search site, Dogpile) "The Fall Lyric Parade" to get a direct URL to it! ps--the webguys who maintan the lyrical accuracy of that site are very receptive to users who can provide history or clearer lyrical content; for instance, I noticed a line from "Cruiser's Creek" that they had done as "Great sex behind steel cabinets..." that I've always heard myself go, "I crave sex behind steel cabinets", having that album, "This Nation's Saving Grace", in my collection I treat as a "top 10 selection at The NW Penthouse Near You" (my apt.) it gets played so much! So I emailed them with my hunch and on a visit to that site shortly after my email--lo and behold, the webguys must have seen that line in a different light, because they changed the wording in my favor! Sweet!
@pharmageek Thanks for the recommendation! But I think that site is gone now, or changed. Found this one though, which seems to be the same sort of site: "The Annotated Fall" at http://annotatedfall.doomby.com/

Some old prison ? Some guy is going to prison ? The prison, the new house, is better than his home ?
Good song.
