Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer (2)
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Time to wonder
Bury zero seven seven (3)
Fifty-eight
Driver B
Released Albion
Late to reclaim (4)
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
See
S.N.I.P. (5)
To think about more
Plants
And more time to wonder
Where more gas and food is coming from
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Big day in omnipresence in Trafalgar
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
St. Gabriel's medical centre (6)
(Senior Twilight Stock Replacer)
Get free calls for a year
(Senior Twilight Stock Replacer)
[Senior Twilight Stock Replacer]
Reclaim in the Lord
Notes
1. This opens with a chant that in its cadence is reminscent of "Guest Informant." As compared to that number, on the other hand, the music is both funkier and statelier, making it one of the Fall's more anthemic efforts. But what the hell is a "Senior Twilight Stock Replacer"? It would seem to be a store employee who stocks shelves on the evening shift. Google turns up a surprising number of queries about such a job at places like Tesco (a British grocery chain), but none of them seem to be entirely serious and, even more suspiciously, none seem to predate the release of Imperial Wax Solvent.
2. MES's vocal comes in on this line, and, puzzlingly, it is mixed very loud while the whole rest of the track simultaneously dips in volume, which gives a synthetic and disjointed feel to the song at this point. Like the interjections on "Can Can Summer," this seems an ill-conceived move that sabotages the track a bit.
3. There seems to be a row of stores at this address, which may be where stock is being replaced.
4. These lines vaguely suggest some sort of wholesale transactions are occurring; "Albion" is an old name for the isles of Britain and is still sometimes used in that sense.

Senior Stock Replacer with Bing Search. The first thing which was shown under the Annotated Fall was such a funny text, when read only
on the Bing list. I thought just the same as quoted: The Fall text can only mean, that an older person is looked for to refill the supermarkets shelves before dawn. To be more exakt, at about five o´clock to maybe ten. That is what I can whatch at my place anyday.

You'd assume this was a dialing code, but 077 numbers are reserved for mobile phones.

St Gabriels is just a Health Centre, not a hospital
