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

I honestly think the main reason I like this band is cos their music is good
nah i think its more that their music is good. yeah
No shit haha
Well said
Plus their sense of humour
Bruh what the hell do you mean by that.
That bass riff is outrageously catchy
By what I've heard so far, Yard Acts' bass player really is the lead guitarist.
What that cafe needs, is a prosecco-o-clock poster on the wall like they have down at The Grand 🥂
Filmed at the Colborne House Cafe in Clitheroe.
This album drop is gonna be a hit contender for record of 2022 💪
I love Yard Act.
And I'm old... and difficult to impress. 😆
Best comment so far! I'm 57 I feel the same..😅
Great track and the video is terrifying . Like a mixture of the jazz guy from fast show and the magician from Little Britain having his way with your gran...eeek.
I dont know but I have feeling like hearing / watching Fun Lovin Criminals....its just the feeling of this song. Good and refreshing debut .
My favourite band of the last decade. Got me heavy back into music.
Lads you've really got to stop making these absolute bangers... it's not fair on everyone else!
Leed's 😍it !st came Chumbawamba now Yard act,,flipping ACE!!!!!
I discovered these guys through Instagram and I fell in love this is my favourite song from them

My favorite album of the year so far, 100%.
I have to get their album after loving the first 2 of their songs like nothing pop or post pop or post punk or whatever it’s now called for years 😁👍
The live perfomance of this song in Selector Radio was fantastic! greetings from Hungary

That’s my fave caf in clitheroe

it's the 2022 version of BEASLEY STREET - JOHN COOPER CLARKE, ****** Love to see the Genre live on through Yard Act
The best song and video combination I've seen for a long time.

It feels like I'm watching a David lynch movie
Amazing! These and Wet Leg are my two favourite new bands without a doubt 🙌🏻
you ever listened to black midi?
You've been on the radio 6 like me then haha
I just realised the 50p thing was a reference to the movie "Greed" always knew it rang a bell
The fuckin insight in these last few tunes has been incredible, however abstractly (or on the nose!) it's presented!
Oh God I love Yard Act. I think they are brilliant. I really do. Honestly. I’m not kodding.
Peace and Love
Am i missing something here? Kidding spelt kodding twice!
Outstanding! Proper moist for the album I am.
The only negative I can say about this track, is that its too short! Love it!
The music is ace and the lyrics are genius. OUTSTANDING.
The way he says "lost his fucking mind" lol
Can't wait to see this lot in January 😍
This video is FANTASTIC! Sheer genius! xxxx from The Crumble Lady

I love Yard Act so much
Yes! Get in. Been waiting for this one.

I know how he made the 50p disappear, and how he broke that watch.
Wow, finally some new original good music.

Your music videos are the best
Just introduced to your stuff. I want more. Carry on.
They're the CAKE of Leeds.

He reminds me of the late Mark E Smith.

Love this!
Superb as always - can't wait for the album!
Still thinking of the watch. Nobody fixes it 😣

In the land of the blind
The one-eyed man is king.

Yorkshire John cooper Clarke

does anybody else think that after our Eurovision 2nd place in 2022, Yard Act should represent us at Eurovision 2023(potentially in the UK) to try and win? providing Sam Ryder does not return
Fucking brillant....
Cool Bass.
Taken from Mark E Smith
Damn this band is perfect!✌👿
1M de play 🔥

Is this the band that clem fandango is a founder member?
Thank god brit rock is alive again
Really like them, though they do sound exactly like Mark E Smith and The Fall
who chose the unlike button is only their ex-girlfriend
very clever
Michael Palin at 1:19 and 2:28?
"Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations".......like fuck!!
Bassline slaps harder than Russia ballistic missiles.
Start of a new subculture?
