"Pony is another stand out track, taking elements of classic country, storytelling, bluesy guitar hooks and vocal harmonies to create a seven minute masterpiece. The song has been immortalised in a stunning music video too." Nick Lakin, Lancaster Guardian

lyrics

I knew a lady she's complicated she had a theory we were all related
She had a pony it wasn't lonely she would love and feed him day and night
She missed her payment misread her statement and they came and took her pony away and now she's lonely without her pony
I can see the fire burn deep inside

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

He raised her pony from a baby she would ride it she was never lazy
Her papa left her with a pony and her mama died of flu in 44 but now she's lonely without her pony she stood up said “oh ma Lord, I got a shot gun you gonna get some” and she walked right down into the town

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

It was the weekend the town was busy with the anger she walked in to the bar
I got a shotgun you gonna get some now won't you tell me where my pony's gone?
She looked at Tony and said “Where's ma pony?” he shrugged his shoulders and said “I don't know”
She pulled the trigger with the anger and the power blew his head completely off

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

She went into the bar and they stopped and stared and they saw her arms and their powder burns, girls in the corner lookin plastic and phoney she said “Hey bitch where's ma pony?”
The anorexic barmaid looking skinny and boney she said “pour me a drink and tell me where's ma pony, I got a shot gun your gonna get some” she drank it down and blew her bones away

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

She went into the street and in the corner of her eye she saw a green green field and there inside was her pony and it was lonely so she ran to be right by it's side but now she's lonely without her pony she gets visits twice a year 45 years without her pony she ?????? and they shot her in the back

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

Now every year they come together with their ponies
They build a bonfire they sing about a lady and the pony and they watch the flames higher and higher

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down

We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
We watch the fires burn
Their gonna learn don't take a pony from a lady
She's gonna burn this motherfuckin' town right down
