Tug of Warcraft

lyrics

It will come like a man walking through fire
Walking on a faded rug
Backup faces foul like sweat
He will hold you with a sailor's smile
Pouring hope,
From a paper cup
Further down the road

That's my house - it's best viewed in low light
When the girls are sitting on the fence
Showing off their pretty legs
Their bodies stick inside my head
Like toothache
Grew up drunk
One day they'll give up

Shouting like dumb crazy death
Selling pockets full of dust
But they can't dance with broken backs
They can't build on broken trust

I've thinned the grass I tread upon
In the fields of furthest out
My words lost in your smoke
My bones bleached in your drought

I passed him today - his face was kind've smashed in
He's probably dying slowly from something
I am too that's why I'm smiling
I crawled too far through swollen guts
I hope we never meet
You wouldn't understand
You're holding dead hands

Shouting like dumb crazy death
Selling pockets full of dust
But they can't dance with broken backs
They can't build on broken trust

I've thinned the grass I tread upon
In the fields of furthest out
My words lost in your smoke
My bones bleached in your drought

about

My Grey Horse Stratford Upon Avon, UK

My Grey Horse was formed of 5 friends who spent 5 years making music that anchored their existence.

We're really proud of these records but now it makes sense to move on.

Thanks to anybody who listened to our stuff, bought our records, came to shows or supported us in anyway over the years: we couldn't be more grateful. You've been incredible.

Love from,
Pete, John, Oobah, Joe and Tom.
