about

As used in the television series Macintyre's Underworld.

lyrics

forward four black horses stride
black feathers in their manes
dressed in their best and sorrow
all your people crowd the lanes
your carriage drawn behind
and proud we follow in our lines
all in your name

all your friends are gathered here
to greet you once again
to tell of all the things you did
and all the gifts you gave
how strange that you aren't here
for all the laughter and the tears
falling in your name

we know this is not the end
something still remains
there's an honour to defend
kept in your name

one black ribbon winding
through the streets that you once knew
we process, our footsteps trapped in time
with some black-hearted tune
to the fields most tearstained
and build a palace of a grave
all in your name

forward four black horses stride
drawing us behind
cold we burn, and black with rage
burning in your name

about

Robin Elliott London, UK

Extraordinary songwriter and performer.

Funnier and more self-deprecating than this makes me sound.

Forthcoming album There is a Land is awash with novel narrative strategies and novelty Brexit tunes.
