Fallowfield Hillbilly Lyrics
is that all that matters anymore ?
who happened to like that band first
and who likes them more
why do you compensate for the fact
that you clearly so oh very silly
by walking around my town like a fallowfield hillbilly ?
you know who you are
ive seen the way you look at all of the normal kids
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
just because they won't bat both eyelids
when you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
theyre here for the music the thing that they love
and it was literally carnage at the back of piccadilly
to see who could buy it first
and does the limtied edition seven inch quench your thirst ?
for an album that will probably let you down
but it doesnt even matter because you dont like that band anymore
because theyre not underground
ive seen the way you look at all of the normal kids
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
just because they wont bat both eyelids
when you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
im gonna ask you, can you find your own way home are you stuck ?
please dont think that im being a bitch
i just happen to witness a lot of things which
get me annoyed cos you're filling a void
have you got nothing better to do ?
ive seen the way you look at all of the normal kids
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
because they won't bat both eyelids
when you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
im gonna ask you, can you play guitar my boy ?
can you fuck
and who likes them more
why do you compensate for the fact
that you clearly so oh very silly
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
just because they won't bat both eyelids
theyre here for the music the thing that they love
to see who could buy it first
and does the limtied edition seven inch quench your thirst ?
for an album that will probably let you down
but it doesnt even matter because you dont like that band anymore
because theyre not underground
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
just because they wont bat both eyelids
im gonna ask you, can you find your own way home are you stuck ?
i just happen to witness a lot of things which
get me annoyed cos you're filling a void
have you got nothing better to do ?
you think that theyve just come out Strangeways
because they won't bat both eyelids
im gonna ask you, can you play guitar my boy ?

"Courteeners best english band since the libertines fact.. "
cough Bloc Party cough
iu cant beleive no-one has commneted on this this song its the best song!!!!!!!!!
well i would say second best after bide your time there ya go someone else has now commented on it
I agree with smoochefc second best after bide your time. I love this because i can relate to it so much! I love everything this song stands for, its all about the music and real fans ignore the hype.
'ive seen the way you look at all of the normal kids you think that theyve just come out Strangeways just because they won't bat both eyelids'
so true. i love it. i used it in my english gcse the other day infact.
Awesome lyrics. I saw them posted on TKC (idk if you're here, Livvy), and they caught my attention, so I looked up the song.
I'm really into this sort of thing: liking music because you like it, not because other people do or it gets a certain stereotype.
But so many people say the same thing, and are so against "fake fans" that they start a sort of competition, saying that they are more of a fan than other people. I don't agree with people who say that they like a band just because of a single, but yet, how am I supposed to know if they really do just like the music?
So all us hardcore music fans are sorta stuck, and confused.
But I like the first few lines alot: "Is that all that matters anymore -- Who happened to like that band first And who likes them more?"
Awesome. Even though it's not my style of music, I like the lyrics.
Peace.
saw a bag the other day which had written on it....Dear NME we need bands not scenes....Love courteeners love this track
song stands for something... talking about real fans and not people who like bands just cos they fit into the Indie scene.. but people doing that is whats made indie so good atm.. bands like late of the pier, Vampire weekend and MGMT might not be here.. Courteeners best english band since the libertines fact..
Agree with all comments! Love this track....love the lyrics! Not just words chucked together cos they rhyme but it actually means something and it actually makes sense (the kooks should take some tips). These will be around for a long time!!
The Smiths references; "hand in glove", "strangeways". Strangeways being the prison in manchester :) one of my favourite Courteeners songs, criticizing the 'scene.
well maybe im misunderstanding the point but i feel that they lyrics are really pretentious wwho gives a shit if other people are all in there heads about being fans and what not just listen to the music and enjoy it..there are no real fans and fake fans just ppl who like the music its not anyones place to disdain another person for being a "fake" fan just worry about yourself..
it is a fun melody tho..

If horrifically fake hip scene kids don't annoy you, I envy you. You have a point, and I do try not to ignore them, but it is hard.
