Fall Lyrics
you will have a dress of white
you will have a ring of gold
you will have a paper snow
we'll fall
see the wall, the wall is black
we will have a heart attack
we will be alone and we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall
fall in love like sailors do
tell your lover you'll be true
sail upon the stupid sea
we'll fall
you will have a sheet of red
paint the trees, the trees are dead
we will be alone and we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall
marry me and be my wife
you can have me all your life
our love will never end
parties for our stupid friends
are the children really home?
we will lie upon the lawn
needles on the beach at goa
we will have another flower
we will be a part of structure
you will have a face of structure
we will make ourselves a scene
we will live our stupid dream
i am you and you are me
tie me down i will be free
our love will have no end
flowers for our stupid friends
marry me and be my wife
you can have me all your life
our love will never end
parties for our stupid friends
are the children really home?
we will lie upon the lawn
needles on the beach at goa
we will have another flower
we will be a part of structure
you will have a face of structure
we will make ourselves a scene
we will live our stupid dream
i am you and you are me
tie me down i will be free
our love will have no end

Sounds like a non-comformist, art-student's (R. Butler went to art school) hatred of the middle class. "marry me and be my wife you can have me all your life" never sounded so godawful...
marriage, a house and kids... Great Song!
I love this song because it's one of the few songs on the album that has a dead-simple and obvious message, but it's packed full of the same kind of metaphorical imagery as the other songs anyway, which makes it much more powerful. (Also, the music is just ridiculously catchy.)
Love and marriage is stupid, it's a trap that the stupid bourgeois middle-class use to tie their stupid selves down so nobody has to do it for them. A couple having the perfect romantic vacation is no different from a sailor's shore-leave infatuation; it's all the same stupid illusion.
And the title: It's called "falling" in love for a reason—because it's the same thing as falling down, falling to dust, falling apart, all the stuff this whole album is about. Love and marriage can't save you from falling, all it can do is make you fall apart together at the same time you fall apart from each other.
