A masterpiece, Changes, Pretty Things, Life on Mars, Quicksand and The Bewley Brothers. His best album I think and has stood the test of time.

Do I have this right?

Into Your Arms was written and performed by a lad in another band who subsequently moved into The Lemonheads and then it was covered essentially ?

2854

Thatā€™s correct. An Australian lad.

Iā€™d say thereā€™s nearly been more members of The Lemonheads at this stage than The Fall

Wow. Thatā€™s some amount of band members then.

Iā€™ve been listening to The Fall quite a bit recently. Thereā€™s a real sense of out there off their stuff I think - like completely original and almost startling to listen to.

Spoilt Victorian Child for instance from
1985. Feck all other bands were doing stuff like that back then - even if you consider The Smiths.

Not quite
Iā€™m
A huge Lemonheads fan and recently read Evanā€™s book :flushed:

The guy who wrote Into your Arms was never in Lemonheads, but a guy in the same band was.
The original lineup were all Harvard guys except for Evan so itā€™s no surprise they didnā€™t stick it out.

I think heā€™s an outstanding songwriter but a lot of their most popular songs were covers (Mrs Robinson and the outdoor type especially)

Crackers.

I would be more of a fan of Now Iā€™m a Cowboy.

My favourite would be A Sister Like You.
