Deer Park lyrics

Artist  : Fall 
Song : Deer Park



 Send "Deer Park" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I took a walk down West 11
I had to wade through 500 European punks
At an off-license I rubbed up with some oiks*
Who threw some change on the Asian counter
And asked polite if they could have two lagers
A hospital discharge asked me where he could
crash
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type artist ranch
This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
Spare a thought for the sleeping promo dept.
They haven't had an idea in two years
Dollars and deutchmarks keep the company on its
feet
Say have you ever have a chance to meet
Fat Captain Beefheart imitators with zits?
Who is the King Shag Corpse?
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
The young blackies get screwed up the worst
They've gone over to the Hampstead house suss
An English system they implicitly trust
See the A&R civil servants
They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of
Moroccan
They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of
Moroccan
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type artist ranch
This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
Yes the traffic hasn't changed that much
There's still a subculture I feel adrift of
Yes the traffic hasn't changed that much
There's still a subculture I feel adrift of
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where loads of punks congregate in the
dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
It's a large type minstrel ranch
This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
Have you been to the English Deer Park?
Hey tourist it wasn't quite like what you thought
Hey Manchester group what wasn't what you thought
Hey Scottish group that wasn't quite like what
you thought
Hey Manchester group that wasn't what you thought
Hey Scottish group that wasn't quite like what
you thought
Quite like what you thought
Hey Midlands, scooped yer, how d'you ever get the
job?
Hey Manchester group from it wasn't quite like
what you thought
Quite like what you thought
Guess what
Guess guess guess...
Guess what
