Lyrics
[ ]
I am a singer first and foremost
[ ]
Do not delegate me as your bullshit martyr
Where are the instigators of this fiasco to be seen?
[ ]
I am a singer first and foremost
[ ]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Commentary
< Post in progress >
According to Fall Online Forum user @djbawbag (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thefall/glasgow-advice-t4477.html, post #7, 31 December 2004), “Glasgow Advice” was an intro tape played over the venue PA system at The Fall’s gig at the Arena, Oswald Street, Glasgow, on 13 August 1994. There’s no recording of the gig in circulation.
The words, which are recited over a recording of “So What About It?“, are very hard to make out. All I can offer is a very poor transcription of excerpts.
