Oh! Brother. Won't you give me one more chance?

"Oh! little brother

We are in a mess

Don't look at me that way

Don't put me to the test

When I first saw you

People said:

"He scrutinised a little monster"

And disappeared through red door

Now everyone is disinformation

Disinformation

Disinformation

He says:

"Won't you give me one more chance?"

"I'm not a communist"

Disinformation

Disinformation

Disinformation"


"Oh! Brother," The Fall (1984): Mark E. Smith (MES) at his most affable. Off Wonderful and Frightening World, Brix's first full album and also the last Fall album with two drummers. 

"League of Bald Headed Men," The Fall (1993): More of MES's semi-affable tip. Off Infotainment Scan, their highest charting album, graphically the worst Fall album, with a couple of standout covers, maybe a slight step back musically from the articulated tribalism, avant-primitivism, of their best work but MES's typically caustic lyrics are playfully sharp.
