        Lyrics


        So What About It?

        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!

        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!

        The Year Number One has gone and turned into Year of Bomb
        TV wars twenty-four hours, but it happens
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!

        Shaking my bones down the M40, passenger seat gripped tight
        In a Series Three
        I cannot sleep, but I'm happy
        I cannot eat
        So what about it?

        It happens
        It happens
        Well, it happens
        Fall advice!

        The work's down the drain, and interest never wanes
        So what about it?

        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!

        Some are born to life
        Some are born depressed about it
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!
        Fall advice!

        To parties underground
        You're driving around in Lake District
        You're stepping around
        It doesn't matter to me, cos it happens
        It's magic
        So what about it?

        Promo Remix 1

        Bulletin from moth city
        The insect posse will be crushed
        (somethin’ within me)

        (Right, there was a problem)
        By Fall: advice

        Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice
        Yak yak yak
        Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice
        Yak yak yak, yak yak yak, yak yak yak
        Fall advice

        Love near number one
        Has gone and turned
        Into year of bomb
        Thugs walking the streets
        Kicking doors with their feet
        It’s happened

        Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice

        Shaking my bones down the M40
        Passenger seat gripped tight
        If I don’t split
        I’m gonna flip
        So what about it?
        So what about it?
        It happens, it happens
        But it happens
        Fall advice
        The works down the drain
        And interest never wanes
        So what about it?

        Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice
        Yak yak yak, yak yak yak
        Fall advice, Fall advice

        Some are born to life
        Some are born de-depressed about it
        But luckily some are born to Fall advice
        Fall advice, Fall advice
        So what about it?
        Fall advice, Fall advice, Fall advice
        Fall advice, Fall advice

        To parties underground
        You’re driving around in Lake District
        You’re stepping around
        It doesn’t matter to me
        Cause it happens
        It’s magic
        So what about it?
        Cause it happens
        Cause it happens

        Please don’t touch me ‘cause I’m shaking so much
        It happens
        Please don’t touch, ‘cause I’m shaking so much
        From moth city insect posse is crushed
        So what about it?
        From moth city insect posse is crushed
