Fit and Working Again
The Fall Lyrics

I'm fit and working again
The singer is in good health and back to work after a period of illness or unemployment.

Walk down the road in the sun
The singer is enjoying a walk outdoors in good weather.

I make a path through a forty strong gang
The singer is walking confidently through a large group of people without fear or hesitation.

My sick, think I've seen the tail end
The artist believes their illness has passed or is getting better.

I used to hang like a chandelier
The artist used to feel weak and unsteady, like a chandelier swaying from the ceiling.

My lungs encrusted in blood
The singer's breathing was impaired and they may have been coughing up blood.

But the flex is now cut clear
The singer's airways are now clear, allowing them to breathe more easily.

Took me ten years to write this song
The artist has put a lot of time and effort into creating this piece of music.

I used to think this bog was the domain
The artist used to feel stuck or trapped in their current situation.

Opinion is at most
Opinions are generally not very valuable in and of themselves.

One stimulus reason
A single event or idea can often lead to a particular way of thinking or acting.

If you've got the most
If you have the most of something, you may be more likely to take a particular action.

With the true precis
With a high level of accuracy or attention to detail.

Analysis is academic
Overthinking or analyzing something can be unhelpful or irrelevant in certain situations.

Some thoughts can get nauseous.
Some ideas or thought patterns can be unpleasant or upsetting.

Sat opposite a freak on a train
The artist was sitting across from an unusual or eccentric person while riding on public transportation.

Warts on his head and chin
The person the artist encountered had visible warts on their face.

Boy, was I getting so vain
The singer was becoming overly concerned with their appearance or self-image based on their comparison to the other person.

I saw the recession around Victoria Station
The singer observed evidence of an economic downturn or decline in the area around Victoria Station.

Gimme the sun.
The artist is simply expressing a desire for sunlight or warmth.

And I feel like Alan Minter
The artist is drawing a comparison between their current state and the British boxer Alan Minter, who was known for his physical fitness.

I just ate eight sheets of blotting paper
The artist has consumed some form of paper, likely in an attempt to achieve a high or altered state of consciousness.

And I chucked out the Alka Seltzer
The singer no longer needs or wants the medication they previously relied on, as they are feeling better.

Don't you know that was the tail end.
The artist is reiterating that their illness or difficult time is behind them and they are now doing well.
