One of my favourite 200 Fall songs.

"Sometimes life is like a new bar, plastic seats beer below par." Most Mark Edward Smith line ever.

I’m in my 50s and only now just scratching the surface of The Fall. So much to admire.so much to love. RIP all of the fallen. ❤️

Rest in peace mark e Smith. You changed my life as you changed so many of our lives. You’d hate this but it’s true. You are hip priest. Roman totale lives on!

Welcome to the greatest band that ever existed. Prepare to be addicted for life.

We'll never hear music like this again.

One chord all the way through, no fuckin about.

Surely the best song ever written about a midlife crisis.

I've listened to this song about 20 times today, absolute genius, irreplaceable. RIP

Crow's feet are ingrained on my face And I'm living too late Try to wash the black off my face, but it's ingrained And I'm living too late Sleepless, in-control spleen Agreed ace family Must have stump tripod in the genes I'm immune to things In my dreams I saw through the trees O'er the poison river locks Talk treacherous would beat But still my heart, it is rock Finally going through old parasite gate But there's a 24-hour clock watch And I'm living too late Think Sometimes life is like a new bar Plastic seats, beer below par Food with no taste, music grates I'm living too late Once talking was my favourite while But now I know a conversation's end Before it's done Maybe I'm living too long The daylight: I see trouble on the streets Fearing catastrophe to meet Walk down the devil's boulevard But still, my heart is hard... They say them cellars were't even black But I know they're wrong Think it's one Been Living Too Long Eyes like two TV screens Continual open Feel no pain I live again I'm super sad sweet sad Line is cracked Vision gone I'm living too long)

Not sure if I got the intended meaning of the lyrics but the words did evoke memories of my dear departed father... A 1920s Great Depression child who saw much poverty, war and human suffering, yet he still always had time for and dedication to his family. Always a trier, rarely gave up on any thing except, in the last few years of his life, as he surrendered to the finality of death, he would often say, "Ive lived too long." He had lost the will to go on after losing his wife (my mother) years earlier and the children were all grown adults. So sad to see him end this way. Anyway, thanks for the song, Mark E. Smith and band (The Fall). Full of melancholia but with a gentle acceptance of the inevitable.

Only one man could write such a brilliant song......R.I.P. Mark

Never lived long enough. RIP Mark,thank you for the memories you have left us.

Should be our national anthem

whoa whoa whoa

Mark gave himself sole credit for writing this song ......

Wherever you have gone I have gone 😢

He was a poetic writer and a battle-scarred singer in the Smoggy pubs and bloody clubs.

Gutted, really gutted. RIP Mark.....Prestwich, Manchester, Englands finest.

The most charismatic singer/songwriter of all time.The mans a fucking genius,a peerless performer and .........(ran out of superlatives)
