From the "Hey tourist it wasn't quite like what you thought" dept:
Okay you FALL fans, you've found a kindred spirit. Did you know there is an active 'zine? I discovered that someone besides myself, in fact many people- somewhat compulsively transcribe of FALL lyrics. now I can remember! now I can remember! message for ya!
AC: People always read profound things
into your lyrics and continue to do so even with the new record. How much of it
percentage-wise is meaningless twaddle?
MES: None of it.
AC: None of it is just off the top of your head? Just stream of
consciousness?
MES: A lot of it's off the top of me head, but in fact sometimes you get more meaningful
things doing it like that.
