Hello, I need suggestions for rudeness / insults in Mark E Smith songs e.g. 'Glam Racket n fact, you're a half-wit from somewhere or other '' AND any compliments nice things. It's for a thing I'm doing, could you post name of track and excerpt from lyrics? XXX @COTFShow

#thefall "2 x 4": "Used table leg to club son-in-law" lyric. Another example of MES use of newspaper headlines. I found this one in the Manchester Evening News, 20 August 1983 p29. Song's live debut was Nottingham 27 September 1983. Source: newspapers.com/article/manch…. @fallnews

Simon 'Ding' Archer is our guest this week. Bass player and producer extraordinaire, Simon tells us about his times in an innumerable list of great bands, the art of singer-wrangling and the difference between being inside and outside the large Fall tent. Enjoy!

A very happy birthday to Funky Simon Wolstencroft, born in the parish of Ringway on this day in 1963. It pays to speak to no one.
