#ThePaleFountains early famous Five-style image too was a reaction to a #Liverpool hardman culture of footballer’s perms and moustaches. Like #OrangeJuice ’s response to #Glasgow ’s similarly inclined spit and sawdust no mean city image, the Pale Fountains’ look was defiantly effete and unmacho. It also accentuated a desire in the songs to get out of the city. Or, as demonstrated in later, trippier and more narcotically inclined songs, just to get out of it.
