St. Living Too Late

The Fall's greatest track, from their 1986 album Bend Sinister.

Heard it before?  Give it another listen.
 
Insistent 4/4 bass and drums propel Mark E. Smith's muttered fears over subtle harmonica swells and rattling guitars.  Occasional bad-trip/mad-carnival explosions punctuate the track's plodding course. 

The lyrics are worth reading.

...  They say them cellars [weren’t even/were evil] black
But I know they’re wrong
Think it’s one
Been
Living too long
