Lyrics of 'I'm Bobby Pt 2' by The Fall

I'm Bobby Pt 2

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but that fraction small missing is sometimes the most important. We give you I am Bobby.

It's gotta be the same
Effects, music and lights, (fogging and strobing) in synchronisation with
the music Bobby Robert walks to bar where Bobby Hazel is already drinking alone

They look into each others eyes, mix eyes with crowd then both faces FX, reverb on music, slow motion

Bobby Robert and Robert Hazel form a silent agreement

The way they look at each other depicts a knowing that they are both the same kind. They know that they don't quite hit the mark

Voices: Our biggest fear has happened

They tried to get (in at the gig but were refused )

Voices: We have been replaced

<mixture of vocal tapes, repetition of some of before> .trembling and twitching

A group of thugs including one called the beast the leader cursing and moaning that Bobby Roberts was late again <double tracked out of synch>

Where the hell is he? I've warned him about being late

(MLS Bouncer MS lauder and . Refused admittance to the club)

sorry cock, full house

Bobby hears Liz onstage, wearing a blonde wig, trying to mimic DJ Lauren

She miscues her (haircut), fumbles over her words, she ain't got the bottle.

Bobby Robert can't cope with the feeling (he's cracking under pressure) whilst heavily under the influence of drinks and drugs, you see. Bobby Hazel and Bobby Roberts have both become totally psychologically obsessed and go absolutely mad.

Edward turns up and is refused admittance.

In the background FX, loud heavy beat music with mix. V. Over. Voice chanting:

(Shall we wait David)

Edward walks with his head down away from the CloneZone muttering to himself 'replacement'

Bobby Robert. He cannot cope. He collapses onstage, the combination of drugs and booze is too powerful for his broken personality. FX beat, music speeds up with a frantic, fast V.O:

(Some four may wreck)

MC Edward walks along and comes face to face with Lauren. Both of them facing each other.

Cut to Bobby Hazel gettingviolently beaten up out of the club with a broken bottle, feet kicking, etc.

Whilst this is happening Bobby Roberts is molested screaming and tearing at people's arms.

Voice: Don't you know who I am?

Cut to Edward and Lauren stepping over Bobby Hazel's beaten up body. (As them) step up over Bobby Hazel she stutters with her last breath.

Voice: Don't you know who I am? I'm Bobby

Ambulance tears away into the distance with Bobby Robert screaming out of control

Voice: Don't you know who I am? I'm Bobby

Edward looks into the distance. (Aint Bobby sorry Edward.) Yes alright she says. Look after yourself.
