it's sort of incredible how after spending most of the 90s wallowing in mediocrity, MES and co. were able to return in the new millennium with some of their greatest records ever. 'Blindness' might be the best Fall song ever

This song is a lot darker when you learn its about the serial killer Harold Shipman who killed over 200 people and is believed to be the most prolific serial killer in UK history

Shipman was my mum's doctor before she died of heart disease. Luckily she was poor. Before the daze of the internet The Fall were singing about satanism and masonry and everything else. A boddingtons philosophy....like Leave the Capital.
@keithbentley60812 жыл бұрын
200 is the lowest estimate, 459 died while under his care, so probably a lot more died by his hand. Monster!

@wmperry27906 жыл бұрын
I a;ways heard the lyric, after learning that the morphine is only for ladies as the dismayed yelp "What about us?! Shit, Man!" which is way better than a ref to harold Shipman. I run into alot of wrong lyrics that never get corrected online. Like the stones "live with me" official lyric is "she's fond of crazy horse" but its really 'Shes from the Crazy Horse" famous french strip/burlesque joint. Which also makes sense while "fond' is just gibberish. But a sexy french maid colud dig NeilYoung or a doomed noble warrior. Them dirty beatles think its funny to let it be wrong. Learning that shipman stuff nearly killed this song for me and it was the best in ages

'Shit, man' would be an utterly dreadful lyric compared to the wonderfully dark humour of complaining that Harold Shipman didn't give him any drugs.
