Mark E. Smith Mix N. Match
Match the lyric to the song title. Winners will get a new profile razor unit, made with the highest British attention to the wrong detail. Another new Fall album ("Our Future -- Your Clutter") is due in November.- Notebooks out plagiarists!
- They couldn't tell Lou Reed from Doug Yule.
- I'm not saying they're really thick, but all the groups who've hit it big/ Make the Kane Gang look like an Einstein chip.
- He said he told the policeman what he really thought/ But knowing him, I don't believe that.
- His heart organ was where it should be/ His brain was in his arse.
- Had a look at the free festivals/ They're like cinemas with no films.
- All the English groups act like peasants with free milk enroute to the loot.
- I curse the self-copulation of your lousy record collection.
- To be a celebrity you've got to eat the past nowadays.
- There's a brand new club in town/ Plenty of space for posing around.
- Communists are just part-time workers.
- The palace of excess leads to the palace of access.
- And if I ever end up like Bono, slit my throat with a kitchen knife.
- I just left the Hotel Amnesia. I had to go there. Where it is, I don't remember.
- I got news for you my friend, to which you will have to attend/ Reduce your knees to noodles, your Doberman Pinschers to poodles.

I'm hopeless at remembering where lyrics go...but you pulled out some good ones.
MES can be a funny guy...
Have a bleedin' guess! Forgot to include one of my favorites:
"People hate beauty/ I cannot fathom it."
Ha, this is such a great idea. Even if I find it nearly impossible to figure out what MES is saying half the time... I'm sure it changes according to whim! I'm going to link to this post...

11 - The Container Drivers, surely? It's not even on the list!
14 - I
Gack! Grk is right. There are 15 quotes and only 14 answers listed. I forgot to include "Container Drivers", perhaps my all-time favorite Fall song (especially the Peel version with the extra long drum roll).
Andrea, I wasn't able to post this comment on your site. Thanks for the kind words! It sounds like you haven't seen "The Fall Lyrics Parade", a collaborative effort of Fall fanatics who have been piecing together MES lyrics for the past 15 years! "New Face in Hell" and many others await you at http://fall.byethost13.com/lyrics.html -- though sometimes it's more fun to figure it out yourself, and I prefer a few of my misheard interpretations over the general consensus as to the "real" words.
you kidding me? like rolling off a log
Bring it on, big time. You feelin' froggy?
