The debut album by Yard Act “The Overload“ out now. Listen / buy here: Sign up for Yard Act : The second single from our debut album is out in the world and we are absolutely buzzed to share this music video with you. Our second video with the ace James Slater, further exploring the Yard Act universe. Land of the Blind is a serious song with a serious meaning, and there felt no better way to represent that than through the medium of cinema, with me glueing on a fake goatee (sorry it ain't real) and donning a sequin jacket, performing bad magic tricks to an audience of hoodwinked bystanders in a cafe in Clitheroe... This is 7/10 satire even if it still feels a little on the nose to me. Enjoy babababa x Lyrics Killswitch indifference to a liquid narrative Obviously I tried writing you out of the will I just hadn’t the guts to lie through my teeth Though only because I’m susceptible To the truth on the bleakest of moons Though there is beauty in a whole truth The knotty roots of a shameful past, Will never let it be Each new shoot is an escape root Loot the debris And make no mistake we are living out our last days In the land of the blind, Where the one eyed man was king Until he lost his fucking mind Baba bow Baba bow We cram clammy hands into empty pockets A quick whiparound for the long suffering house band Whilst peace treaties are breached So we can all fuck about half naked on the beaches of Some far off foreign land We all get a commemorative fifty pence piece each For the peace treaties breached And the palms greased, which are never on the ends Of the elbows digging the graves of the recently deceased Please have a seat, I’m going to show you all a magic trick but it’s sort of a surprise So if you just lend me that fifty pence piece in your hand And then close your eyes I’m going to make me, and this fifty pence piece disappear Music video by Yard Act performing Land Of The Blind.
