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
