Gypsey Race is from Loudhailer Electric Company’s debut studio album Cursus, released on the DHM Record Label, catalogue number DHM009, distributed by Label Worx.

The winterbourne chalk stream the Gypsey Race flows down through the Wolds and east out to sea at Bridlington. On the bend, just where the stream turns east is one of the most important prehistoric sites, the tallest standing stone in the UK, Rudston monolith.

lyrics

There’s a soldier on the wall before the mid-winter sun
Gazing over the heather at the end of the day
If there’s fire in the sky he’ll be ready to march
He’s sick to death of the wall what does it mean anyway?
What does it mean anyway?

Where the river turns east there’s a corner to meet
When night balances day since the beginning of time
There’s shouting and fighting and standing out in the sky
He’s had enough of the wall it’s not a reason to die
What does it mean anyway?

When he gets there he’ll see what the future holds
There’s only bad news coming when the waters flow
It’s time for a change gotta find a new face
Come meet at the bend on the Gypsey Race
So let us meet at the bend on the Gypsey Race

All roads lead to the stone at the bend on the Gypsey Race

I’m the soldier on the wall
Looking out at the sky
I’ve had enough of it all
It’s not a reason to die

I’m that soldier on the wall at the end of the day
I’m sick to death of it all what does it mean anyway?

All roads lead to the stone at the bend on the Gypsey Race
