Yonder Ruckus from Yonder Ruckus by The Mouldy Lovers

Cry long on this heavy word
There’s freedom in the strangers who howl with the dogs
Cry big on this heavy earth
You’re weightless in space but it’s down here that you’re heard
When your vision to view is silhouetted and skewed
By the snakes in your skin and the straps on your shoes
Pin your hopes in the dirt by the side of the road
Raise a hand when you bellow the call

We can tell you tall tales if it’s all the same
Spinning those bottles and watch you levitate
Leave your nightmares for the sleeping and your open heart break
Dance all to hell I said for heavens sake
Merry road and merry hell
The devil danced but the devil fell
We rise up singing strong in the early morn
There’s always room for one more

Walk the ancients and the shadows that fall
All for the taking and it’s one for all
When you get a gang of rouges up on there feet
To stand true in the family
Take it, take it, take it all
Give it right back when you hear the call
Scream love from deep down in your lungs
Chase our lucky stars out round the back of the sun
Passing stranger what do you know?
In your hands what do you hold?
You tread lightly on this heavy earth
With a feather in your cap from the wings of the muse
Tie us up in strings to show us that new trick
Too many here are just stuck in the fix
Cry loud on this heavy earth
Run with the strange and sleep with the mould
