About The Song
“Catch My Fall” is a song by Billy Idol from his 1983 studio album Rebel Yell. It became the album’s fourth and final single (released in 1984). It was written by Idol and produced by Keith Forsey.
Billboard said that “Sharp dance tracks provide the pulse” and that Idol uses a “low-key melodic vocal” comparable to his vocal performance in “Eyes Without a Face.”
In a review of the 1988 UK single re-release, Kevin Rowland of Record Mirror described “Catch My Fall” as a “tough song with a good build” and also praised the “good production and playing”

Lyrics
I have the time, so I will sing, yeah
I’m just a boy, but I will win, yeah
Lost song of lovers, fellow travelers, yeah
Leave me sad and hollow, out-out of words
It could happen to you, so think for yourself
If I should stumble
Catch my fall yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
If I should stumble
I’ve traveled and unwound my own truth, yeah
I’ve laid my head on the rock of youth, yeah
I’ve trusted and then broken my own word
Just to keep me free in this mad, mad world
It could happen to you, so think for yourself
If I should stumble
Catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
It could happen to you, so think for yourself
If I should stumble won’t you catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble, catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble, would you catch my fall
If I should stumble, catch my fall
If I should stumble, catch my fall
If I should stumble, catch my fall
If I should stumble, catch my fall
