About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] One night upon my motorcycle through the desert sped And smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head "You are the son of a mother fucker" [Chorus] One, two, three... I shook all night and held her hand Shock the people, well I'll be damned Land of plenty, land of fun To find out I’m Nimrod's son [Post-Chorus] Oh, bury me Far away, please Bury me Ha-ha! The joke is come upon me, that's right [Verse 2] In my motorcycle mirror, I think about the life I’ve led And how my soul's been leaking out the holes where I had bled My image spoke to me, yes, to me and often said "You are the son of incestuous union" [Chorus] One, two, three... Now my head is clear, my roof has walls My daughter's pure, my son is tall Land of plenty, land of fun To find out I'm Nimrod's son [Post-Chorus] Oh, bury me far away, please Bury me The joke is come upon me

The event coincides with the band's 40th anniversary celebration in June.

Founding trio reunites with Emma Richardson, highlighting early UK support and milestones.

The track arrives ahead of their set at All Points East.

They've also shared a new single that's (kind of) about a decapitated chicken.
