"Sloppy Floor"

[One let her freeze,your future
lets not eat Eva unnecessary
that doesn't involve a grovel
A new approach I say to you
'Yourself,rale,rain comes down
start the best bit of the song.'
Encyclopedia on the mask. Is
coming around,there going in
myriad pomp and circumstances]


S-H is a chance at top
in the land,of,finest retail
slippery floor

There's a slippery floor in
the hospital & medics try to
seal them or their sliding free
Get some chaos
I say walk into a little room
the slippery floor

They argue over the slippery floor
I've got to ask,I've got to ask
I've got the blindman slip
on the slippery floor
All it needs is compassion
I'll take a chance
Expectation in the financial return
So what do I get,
is a smug aplomb
What they working for?
Of course there working on the floor. hip.........
No thanks to you,we are The Fall

Slippery floor
Slippery floor
Slippery floor,right....

See if you can add a clearer version,Mark has been having problems with slipping over resulting in Hip problems - I'm probably miles off base.

Gallant effort!!! :applaud:


Is it good?

It was the government's fault !!

"No thanks to you, we are The Fall."

I like these- though punctuation is always a caveat in deciphering Smith. A valiant effort I'm sure.
Seems it would fit on Room To Live, lyrically. Maybe...

I haven't heard the song- a non-dime version up anywhere yet?

does Bob still pop in then??

Do these lyrics match the lyrics of the version on the recently released single?

Ok, to answer my own question. These are the words from the version of "Slippy Floor" from the single, as written down by Buy Kurious! Notebooks out, contrast and compare:

Slippy Floor (Mark Mix)

Been around
We're gonna get married
On the floor of behest
Don't bog down
Just keep a stay, a helm

I think it's about incontinence.

well done

If you watch as much daytime TV as MES does, you'll constantly see adverts on ITV, C4, C5 and Sky for lawyers specialising in accidents and injuries at work.

These often involve "reconstructions" of someone walking across a newly-mopped floor at their offices, and going arse over tit. It is almost impossible to watch TV for 24 hours without encountering at least one of these adverts. I wonder if MES has been inspired by this.

I'm getting "You might like to scoff and guffaw" from my copy.

Yes, that's definitely what he's saying. :applaud:

Just keep straight ahead (I think).

I don't give a fuck what hes saying.

you are such a nice bloke... :girl2:

Don't read a thread called "Slippy Floor lyrics" then, fucking twat.

:lol:

much better!

I can see 2 things happening here, possibly, taking both sets of lyrics together

1) as has been stated, it's the old "accident at work" compensation thing, that has all but eaten lower echelon TV advertising recently (that, and insurance, which is really the same thing up-ended, right?). Good stuff, but dealt with more eloquently in the additional lyrics to "Jerusalem" - now there's some pre-cog and a half of modern Britain!

2) A brilliant image. A man walks into a shopping centre. He says "Finance retail" so I guess it's a banking plaza, not the Salford Lidl. What he mistakes for a beautiful stately lake from a distance turns out to be a well polished floor. The characterless grandeur is unnerving, it's like staring at a piece of polished marble in the Taj Mahal, so the narrator has to walk carefully across without looking down, lest he become entranced. It's a wonderful little image, and reminds me of something from Dick or Ballard.

Probably wrong, but that's what comes to mind. As for the opening lines, they seem to follow on from the last recorded Fall lyric, "Believe me kids, I've been thru it all".

However, the best part is "We're gonna get married". I love the way that's delivered - is it a reference to some old tin pan alley song, or something?

I seem to be the only one detecting a comical tone to the song/music. :unsure:

Not at all, I think it's hilarious. A man who thinks he's approaching a cool limpid pool only to find it's a polished retail piazza, what's not funny about that? :lol:

Going to the chapel
And we're going to get married, Yes we're
Going to the chapel
And we're going to get married, Yes we're
Going to the chapel
And we're going to get married;
Going to the chapel of love

It's Thanksgiving Day.

He'll have been at the moonshine again. :rolleyes:

Playing his banjo and cooking his grits...

...followed by the Hog-kill.

I love the tone he says

"We're Going to get married"

:lol:

:applaud:

Maybe the Slippy Floor is what causes The Fall

"I was walking down the slippy floor
Then I fell
Or maybe I fallen
Anyway I broke my hip and don't like them
Very much
-Ah."
