#TheFall
@auto_tech_pilot@TheFallWell People make up shit about The Fall all the time. I have to laugh. My favourite line in the song is โWith hideous Luck, heโll absorb all your talkโ I love the way Mark delivers that particular line, because he was impersonating Elvis. We thought that was especially hilarious. BX
@TheFallWell C.R.E.E.P is actually about a composite of people. For instance, โ Scum Eggโ is directly referring to a German tour manager we once had whose actual name was Scumeg. ๐ Bx
Looking back to Mantra of The Cosmosโ performance at this yearโs @glastonbury, with these exclusive behind the scenes shots. Look out for part 2 next week.
