Song: The Funeral by Band Of Horses


Lyrics used in the commercial
I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

Lyrics used in the commercial
did you ever see anyone
did you ever known anyone
speech trial come and lead my palms
soil pressed to the knees and below
because standing tall will make you grow
but only sharp eyes ever know
(Slip out your arrows in tongues
sleepin in the streets
Oh I, I'll dance on that cross)
Tell me where we plan to be
That sugar met the cinnamon (baby) boys
born a gentleman
Only love for everyone
My piano begs to take him home
But he's got those keys in his nose
that dance about in skipping views
got my only son feeling so low
(Slip out your arrows in tongues
sleepin in the streets
Oh I, I'll dance on that cross)
I'll be digging up these crops like snails licking,
leaving lips like
living trails
bodies dragging down against the earth they
said "don't you squeal I
know a pig when I sees one
coming up about the bend its a long and quiet
road ahead still they're talking
and always moving while we're sleeping
did you ever see anyone
(Slip out your arrows in tongues
sleepin in the streets
Oh I, I'll dance on that cross)
did you ever know or plan to tell me where we
plan to be...

Taking in well-known locations such as London, Bristol and Newcastle as well as Ali's new adopted home of Blackpool, this gives a feel of the range of riding possible on the Hex from tech BMX-influenced street to more traditional trials lines. Read more >>
