"Fortress / Deer Park" lyrics - THE FALL

Two hours With four left-wing kids
I spent time in a Nazi fortress
Much discussion in room CH1OCH11
I did not understand why, I could not accept the fact
That I'd accepted the contract
Much discussion in this institution
Much discussion in boiled beef and carrots
Room CH1OCH11
It was so clear in the window eye, the brick outlined the blue sky
And I had to go 'round the gay graduates in the toilets
And Good King Harry was there
Much discussion in room CH1OCH11
Much discussion in room CH1OCH11

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, guess what guess guess guess guess what
