The Fall’s BRUTAL Mission Statement: “Couldn’t Get Ahead”
"Couldn't Get Ahead" by The Fall was Mark E. Smith's statement of purpose, snarled through clenched teeth. There’s no triumphant chorus, no emotional payoff. And that’s kind of the point. This June 1985 single would be a prominent feature on their 1985 LP "This Nation's Saving Grace" with relentless energy and post punk roots. #thefall #postpunk #1985
