LYRICS:
Sinew exploding from chrome hooves
Where we’re going we don’t need glue
Can he run in a tutu
He looks a little long in the gold tooth
Watch my steed go far
Look at him go!
My steed sees how dreams are made
He’s my dream like I just got paid
No joy ride fee it’s free today
We don’t care what the people say
Cause he moves like a generator
He puts the foot down and see you later
Somebody call up the undertaker
Handing out passes to meet your maker
See my steed go far
Look at him go!
My baby she’s so raw
I give her love and she gives me more
Ask us to kneel and bow to the floor
She say no and she ask what for
My baby she so strong
She talks me straight when I’m doing wrong
Ask us to sing your empire songs
She laugh tells you where I’m from
My baby she so great
I wake up grateful every day
My baby is beautiful
All is love and love is all
Fuck the king
He ain’t the king
She’s the king.
Look at him go!

'Gift Horse' from the new album, TANGK, out now on Partisan Records: IDLES.lnk.to/TANGK/IDLES

[@leonmart6719]

the old man watching Tenkū no Escaflowne... Full nostalgia. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXm0o4BrgZ6HZ8k

[@sammorton-iq8hg]

The song is a smashloudrock tune, but the way Joe holds that poor bulls nose ring does my head in.

[@Crosshatch1212]

Never a truer scene than frog bounseeing in dark .😂With a cream coulered coat and a dog on a leash

[@EnriqueMendoza-nt4se]

Awesome video guys

[@rogercuellar6150]

Aaaaaagggrrrrrr me encanta !!!🦾🦾

[@stander2625]

My gift horse works 15 hours 5 days a week

[@benbundy1939]

My gift horse works 16 hrs 6 days a week...

[@bigmanhj6403]

​my gift horse works 17 hours 7 days a week

[@jacopobalia31]

The best way to scare a horse is to read and get rich

[@joshuabush2569]

I know nothing I'm just sitting here looking at pretty horses

[@raymice5266]

Never Fight A horse With a perm

[@jackganley8923]

Incredible song and video aside, as a former Production Assistant (in the US) I really appreciate every single member of the crew being listed in the video description. So much hard work and collaboration goes into productions like this, and everyone did an incredible job top to bottom. So excited for this album ✊❤️

[@ManWalksDogs]

yep, just had a browse of the description list: trainees, the lot. good good.

[@jackcope5484]

I'm not a film guy, but as a set builder it is great to see. Only once did I build for an event that credited us individually outside of school

[@thomasspool]

We all appreciate your former assistance to productions.

[@undressedbroccoli]

It's not the same without slough, kitty Milo or muffin ☝️

[@thesadwolf]

Go get me a coffee!! I did PA work in LA as a teen. It was super fucking fun TBH.

[@giadamicolucci4454]

This video is peak "going to the big Tesco just to feel something" vibes. Thank you

[@HannesRadke]

The manager crying at Visions Of Escaflowne humanizes him completely.

[@TheFusedplug]

It's quite a strange social/antisocial environment there isn't it

[@kateki8801]

FANTASTIC. Can't wait for the merch "Everything hurts and I'm dying"

[@VioletDragon]

I want this t-shirt!

[@dallismurphy3802]

I think it's a Parks & Rec t shirt. Should be available online.

[@bert3241]

Ordering it

[@thematinthehat4489]

Never fight a horse with a perm

[@therealrealbp]

This is what shopping at Aldi is like

[@alicemaganuco9990]

😂😂😂😂

[@Leo-qe3gl]

Oh ja.😂

[@JellyBeenGaming]

I gift my horse to you As long as you move, on the floor

[@baratheda777]

My favorite NEW band in over 20 years! The kind I'd obsess over as a teenager. Never expected that feeling as a middle aged man at 42. Thanks Idles for making music for those of us that remember the 90's and earlier

[@piperfuriosa]

Every song off of this album has been amazing!

[@piggybank16]

Very debatable but this one is great!!

[@vdhzeno]

@@piggybank16 that's also debatable

[@UGLY-MONEY17]

I’m very psyched to hear it in it entirety

[@piperfuriosa]

@@UGLY-MONEY17 Same!

[@brettjamison92]

I think its is important that we debate whether your comment is actually debatable on piggybank's debatable comment on whether all the songs are 'great' is debatable. @@vdhzeno

[@MrMisuma]

I’m still stuck in the 90’s. So glad Idles can drag me into 2024.

[@brunskibeat]

I am 62, this wharped me back to the sound of 1978... Fantastic!

[@mydogslikeboiledeggs7094]

Yeah, there's something going on here.

[@shavez1978]

i was born on new years eve that year. those punk vibes are still live 💪@@mydogslikeboiledeggs7094

[@emmaaudsley1045]

Any particular bands or singers from then? I was a year old then

[@PewterBird]

this whole aesthetic is like if the first 3 seasons of Black Mirror made an out-of-context music video

[@PaddyLeggBass]

Yes! Spot on ha ❤

[@abesster]

Nigel's production is top-notch.

[@cesarnmar]

It is. Since the "From the Basement" session I have never heard such a chaotic yet clear sound. I'm excited where this album is going.

[@vinderesual]

HoG

[@FluFFY13G]

Produced by Kenny Beats too!

[@vitorhugoRH]

@@FluFFY13G yes don't forget Kenny. Such an unexpected and delightful combo

[@michaelgreene4816]

Radiohead 's Godrich is producing this?

[@renatareok]

Discovering this band was one of the most inspiration in 2023

[@warhellride]

Welcome!! Check out the bands Protomartyr and Squid! You’ll dig them too if you like IDLES

[@lewistillison1425]

I was late to the party too. Idles are fucking amazing

[@Lynq-Oro]

Easily the best album of 2024 so far

[@ajsledzep]

I always ask “who’s going to be the next band I obsess over?” This does not disappoint

[@The99Lies]

Each single from the new album is insanely powerful! Can't wait for the march tour 🖤

[@paulkoutsoukis8920]

My 3yo son calls this song “stomp rock”

[@connorfinnigan263]

thats adorable lmao im calling it that now

[@courtneyblue7005]

Ain’t wrong.

[@markclementspp3881]

I was listening to this 1:30 whilst also watching Great British Railway Journeys and, I swear to god, the Gurkhas were wielding their ceremonial swords perfectly in time with the music. Also, his orange trousers were boss.

[@Borag702]

War crimes are imminent....... Love the G's

[@Borag702]

The good kind

[@fernandoretamalesl]

A man of culture can't but feel emotional when watching Escaflowne.

[@jazzmancia1602]

Thank you! I was wondering what he was watching lol

[@robotoc.9980]

had the same exact thought expressed in this comment

[@daves7086]

Can't get over how cool this band is man

[@daves7086]

The droning and just sonic wall of sound feels like a spiritual successor to collossus

[@OwlyRose]

TANGK is shaping up to be another masterpiece. So proud of them, they truly deserve every inch of success and recognition they are getting (and more)

[@AssuntaRacano]

I like iiiiiit!!!!❤❤❤

[@jessemoore5696]

I love these guys. The fact that someone signed them gives me hope. They are a wonderful shade of different.

[@topcat8839]

At 55 yrs old, I am so excited about Idles. Loving this new album, loving everything Idles.

[@crooster1]

As a 49 yo i do too, if it makes a difference.

[@Toominator2000]

At 63 I love them!

[@thatbusinesstrainer1414]

same her, I'm 62...they are the most exciting band in ages

[@James-vx7df]

I’m 189 and I’ve been watching this band for 27 years

[@diegobadillo432]

This album is a true masterpiece of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, each song is unique and captivating....hugs and cheers from Galápagos Islands 🔥

[@karynnhardy1775]

This album is gonna hit so hard 😮😊

[@hughjarvis3030]

If every song from Tangk is at least as good(or close enough) as what we've heard so far, this album is going to be absolutely astonishing.

[@sn1000k]

Can't fuckfing wate

[@TehSyneS]

you guys really smashed this live on Fallon, wow!

[@carolwarner63]

Exactly! ❤

[@elisagarcia6112]

Don't they get tired of doing everything so well? I love them🔥🖤🖤

[@dannyblack721]

seriously. i dont understand how its possible for a band to continue to top itself over and over again.

[@MrFazi93]

Another reason to live ❤

[@Holz-Drache]

Here is your Personal „GOOOOOUUUUUUGH“ Button.

[@johnklsc2233]

My little girl loves this song ❤

[@eichbienyermaw]

That cow's a unit!!!

[@nickyl4398]

Late to the Idles party, but this is my new obsession! Off to get Tangk so I can proper blast it. Thank you for Dancer, it got me moving and A Gospel, well it just really helped, thanks boys! Big Love to all xx

[@LaRossaMusic]

INJECT THIS INTO EVERYONE’S ALGORITHM

[@erdalbuumer1109]

Im a 548 years old mystic being and i never felt this good by a punk rock electro rap classical hip hop pop song. Thanks Idles 🎉🎉🎉

[@therabbithat]

I was born listening to this song and it's the best thing I've heard so far

[@ekampost]

its a great song. simple

[@folk-er1962]

I fancy myself to have a bit of knowledge about music and have also succumbed to the vinyl trend by now. This song is the best thing I've heard in years. It holds much more spirit for me, someone who experienced the Nirvana hype and the Nirvana era, than 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' even though that might offend die-hard Nirvana fans. I am convinced that this album will go down in music history. Regards from Folk-Er!

[@walterortiz6408]

i love fkn idles so much

[@jennysena7264]

As a 37 year old who hasn’t felt moved by music in a long time, thank you. See you in Oakland ❤

[@stefansteff13]

"Gift Horse" debuted at #9 on the New Alt 40 Chart this week!

[@Hyeronimus666]

You never leave the audience indifferent. You don't just make music. You convey emotions. Great video!

[@joachimjacobus5996]

Best single off the new album so far. This song goes hard.

[@icemantis13]

Oh damn!!! I just found my new favorite band/obsessive soundtrack to my life!❤❤❤❤ Hell Yessss!

[@nsa4287]

Discovered this song on apple music looking for new songs and OMG I fell in love with this song immediately as well as grace! Exactly what I didn't know I needed lol

[@somosterriblelocura]

Idles is the way. Listen to their catalog!!

[@ncantu89]

Love is the fing! ✌🏼

[@BlobFish080]

I think Slough, the fish and Kitty, the Snake were at their best in this video. Big fan and long time follower of their work.

[@3xbFilms]

I DONT CARE WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY IDLES ON REPEAT!!

[@notsorry3631]

This video is WILD LOVE IT

[@alsanderz5199]

5 words to describe IDLES: Laudable Observant Veracious Ecumenical

[@francofilms4200]

This song hits different at CVS

[@woodedarea]

This is why you never see your gift horse cry.

[@Kalas82]

the production quality of this album is out of this world the soundscape in POP is beyond unreal well done

[@chaseharmon3122]

I seriously cannot stop this song from playing in my head all hours of the day.

[@m0fr001]

Watch watch mymy steed steed gogo far far

[@growlingpussy7310]

Just what I need a song to accompany my boyfriend doing the helicopter with his privates. “Look at him gooooo” 😂

[@stephenfw]

I can’t stop listening to this. There’s been music projects I’ve been trying to listen to all week, but every time I put my headphones in, I end up playing this song for an hour straight…help

[@HarveyJackson1967]

That's called hyperfixation my dude

[@mydogslikeboiledeggs7094]

​@@HarveyJackson1967No, that's just what happens when good music is released into the artless void we call Now. He don't need help, he needs to listen again.
