Lyrics:

Here’s to every time that you rocked the boat
Here’s to every word that you ever wrote
There were clues but it was never clear
You got to choose your own way out of here

If I could say anything, Be anyone
Do anything, see anything,
Say anything, be anyone,
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

Here’s to every time that you rocked the boat
Here’s to every word that you ever wrote

I’ve been waiting for the spark myself
But I’ve been scrambling in the dark for health
I have read your words a thousand times
All inspired by smashed up love and crime

If I could say anything, Be anyone
See anything, do anything,
Say anything, be anyone,
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

I’ve been choking on the bones and tears
You are the smoking gun, the throne, the years
A broken heart won’t get you far enough
All beat up wading through the tar and rough

If I could say anything, Be anyone
See anything, do anything,
Say anything, be anyone,
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

Tired Pony is a super-group consisting of:

• Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol)
• Richard Colburn (Belle & Sebastian)
• Iain Archer (Snow Patrol and Reindeer Section)
• Jacknife Lee (producer and former solo artist)
• Peter Buck (R.E.M.)
• Scott McCaughey (The Young Fresh Fellows The Venus 3)
• Troy Stewart (solo artist)

When I first heard that a band had formed from members of R.E.M., Snow Patrol, and Belle & Sebastian, I was hooked before hearing a single note. When my copy of The Place We Ran From arrived from Amazon, I was not disappointed.

Tired Pony has released two albums thus far (The Ghost of the Mountain was released in 2013).
