Bill Is Dead is the 3rd track on the Fall’s 12th LP, Extricate (1990). The song might be called an aubade. It’s one of the more melodic and lyrically personal songs in the Fall’s repertoire and as such one of their most accessible, topping John Peel’s Festive 50 list for 1990.
[Verse 1]
Last week after Dynasty
I had crow's feet under my eyes
Paid two days for getting high
[Verse 2]
Freezing, wheezing
Got pasted in a bar
I hope I've got the number
[Chorus]
These are the finest times of my life
This is the greatest time of my life
This is the greatest time of my life
These are the biggest times of my life
[Verse 3]
But just lately, seeing you
I rise A.M. off pink sheets
I am renewed, I am aglow
Red brick and green is the streets
You dressed today as if for riding school
Your legs are so cool
Came twice, you thrice
[Chorus]
These are the greatest times of my life
These are the greatest times of my life
These are the greatest times of my life
These are the biggest times of my life
This is the greatest time of my life
These are the greatest times of my life
This is the greatest time of my life
These are the greatest times of my life
This is the finest time of my life
These are the greatest times of my life
