“It was me and Tony (Friel) who decided to call it The Fall, after the Albert Camus book. He wanted to call it The Outsiders at first after another Camus book; but I’d read The Outsider and didn’t particularly like it. I thought The Fall was a better book. But for a period of time we were The Outsiders until I found a seven-inch in Shudehill by a 60s band called The Outsiders - ‘A Question of Temperature’ it was called. Good record. So that meant we were The Fall.”
