Howl Songtext
von Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit

Howl for my homeland
Wherever that was
And howl for the homage
That′s been gone and lost

To the passing and temporal
The eons gone by
There's nothing to praise
Not in earth, sea or sky

Or was
And in time to know
The rest will soon follow
All the rest will soon go

Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don′t rest on the shelf


Growl at the pedestal
Growl at the pinch
The last of the ports
Has broken the winch

Oh, the legacy is gone
And the people who knew
Have lost their minds
Or left, there's a few

Who are choking on what
And the will to hold on
With their principles pinned
To the courts of above

Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don't rest on the shelf

Me and the teardrop
Me and the mountain
Oh, me and the check
And to meet my accountant


Oh, me and the wolf
Who was eating my heart
And me and my friends
Who laugh in the dark

Oh, and you and yours two
And you and yours three
And you and yours ever
And ever be free

Stay in the light, Joe
Stay with yourself
Put up a fight
Don′t rest on the shelf
