Good, The Bad & The Queen, The - Ribbons Lyrics






I am the Maypole
Dancing with the sun
I wear my ribbons white and red
I am the morning
Flowers in your hair
I am your son and heir Mother

I am the Mast horse
Riding out to war
I wear my ribbons white and blue
I am the arrow
Stinging in your side
I will never let you go

I am the last king
Standing on the hill
I wear my ribbons white, red, and green
I am the visions
The night before the fair
When you don't want me anymore
And you're not there

I am a murder
All falling out of the sky
I wear my ribbons black until I die
I am the dark wood, the river, and the blood
I am the lover lost

I am the Maypole
Dancing with the sun
I only wear my ribbons for you
I am the morning
With flowers in my hair
I am your son and heir

  1. Y.... C....

    Nunca la había escuchado antes de escucharla pero cuando la escuché sentí que ya la había oído

    Y.... C....

    Quizás es porque alguna canción latina popular tiene un ritmo y escala similar al de esta canción porque yo también tengo la misma sensación

    Y.... C....

    Si, quizás yo creo

  2. Y.... C....

    Hermosa😢

  3. �.... �....

    😘🥰😍🤩

  4. M.... V....

    I remember "A soldier's tale" with this song

    M.... V....

    Does he go to the "green fields"?

    M.... V....

    They certainly take up the same kind of space and play similar roles on their respective albums.

  5. C.... R....

    On Melancholy Hill vibes…


    besides that, this song is the sweetest. Makes you soft and ready to cry.

  6. m.... ....

    Beautiful and quintessentially English.

  7. t.... .....

    At least we can listen to Damon's voice while we wait for another Gorillaz album.

    t.... .....

    Plus, this is beautiful. Win-win

    t.... .....

    I think we gotta wait at least 10 years 😞

    I am the Maypole
    Dancing with the sun
    I wear my ribbons white and red
    I am the morning
    Flowers in my hair
    I am your son and heir Mother
    I am the Mast horse
    Riding out to war
    I wear my ribbons white and blue
    I am the arrow
    Stinging in your side
    I will never let you go
    I am the last king
    Standing on the hill
    I wear my ribbons white, red, and green
    I am the visions
    The night before the fair
    When you don't want me anymore
    And you're not there
    I am a murder
    All falling out of the sky
    I wear my ribbons black until I die
    I am the dark wood, the river, and the blood
    I am the lover lost
    I am the Maypole
    Dancing with the sun
    I only wear my ribbons for you
    I am the morning
    With flowers in my hair
    I am your son and heir

    Hey este video se merece un video pero UN VIDEO po favoh

    Z.... ....

    Pero... ya tiene un video.

    Z.... ....

    @Mr. Fizzles pero se refiere, a un video...

    Z.... ....

    Esta canción* se merece un video oficial*, de nada (?

    Z.... ....

    @canal ONDAS hablas de; un video?...

  10. D.... S....

    Люблю

  11. S.... 7....

    Where can i get an instrumental? Please, I want it

    S.... 7....

    Me too, but unfortunately artists rarely release instrumentals (which kills me inside).

  12. E.... A....

    I cunt believe Fantano says this album sucks. He must be smoking tinfoil.

    E.... A....

    Unrelated sounds

    E.... A....

    Miguel Hernandez the album reaaaaally resonated with me personally. I get why you give it a 9 and it probably normally doesn’t derserve more than that normally, but to me it’s a 10

    E.... A....

    He seems to have dismissed Damon Albarn since 2017 at least, maybe as far back as 2014.

    E.... A....

    That guy is a hack. Never liked him anyway.

    E.... A....

    He never said it sucked though

  13. m.... g....

    A mix of tall the great bands these legendary musicians have been in FANTASTIC

  14. H.... -....

    I am not crying. You are crying.
    :'3

  15. n.... ....

    i only hope that before Damon dies, life sustaining technology is built, so he can continue to bless us with his music forever.

    n.... ....

    I dont think Damon wants to live forever

    n.... ....

    @the2dcore 32 when you put it that way, i feel i wouldn't want to live forever too. I see what u mean by that.

    n.... ....

    Well, i would like Damon to play until his lasts days

    n.... ....

    Then we harvest his brain and milk the abomination for music.

  16. A.... H....

    He has Damon's eyes

    A.... H....

    He IS Damon

  17. g.... ....

    One of the most beautiful songs that Damon's composed and he's composed a fair few.

  18. S.... P....

    I can't believe Damon is in so many bands

  19. R.... A....

    Esta canción es muy hermosa.

  20. S.... M....

    ......One of the best song......

  21. p.... ....

    This song always gives me the chills, Damon's music is so pretty

  22. B.... J....

    He's lip synching!

    B.... J....

    That's how most music videos go.

    B.... J....

    I was being sarcastic.....
    @Wulvsbayne269

  23. b.... ....

    He's changed

    b.... ....

    How so?
    Also, do you think he has changed in a good or bad way or neither?

    b.... ....

    He looks a bit wooden.

  24. A.... J....

    2-D is that you?

    A.... J....

    Alvaro Jimenez I heard that 2d sounds like Damon Cos he taught him how to sing

    A.... J....

    False Junkie OFFICIAL 😆👌

  25. D.... H....

    This melody must be Damon's internal tune: you hear it throughout all his work over the last three decades. I love it so much.

    D.... H....

    Where else? :o

    D.... H....

    I'm so with you on that

    D.... H....

    @milesaph I can here it in Everyday Robots.

  26. F.... B....

    Omg this is actually so good OH MY GOD

  27. D.... H....

    See you in Paradiso Amsterdam, June 6, so much looking forward to it!

  28. S.... S....

    Magnifico

  29. b.... ....

    Blur? :O

    b.... ....

    no amigo no es blur informate no seas ignorante

    b.... ....

    Me refería a que él cantante de blur y 2D tienen voces muy parecidas

    b.... ....

    @benja38526 por qué son el mismo

    b.... ....

    Es la misma persona que canta esta canción, blur, y Gorillaz

  30. R.... M....

    he's soooo good he doesn't even need to really play his guitar

  31. V.... C....

    Que lastima que tenga tan pocas visitas

  32. P.... S....

    one of the best songs ive ever heard

  33. P.... D....

    Beautiful song seems to contrast Britain from Europe as part of their album?

  34. S.... B....

    Jeez oh man the feels oh *dies*

  35. C.... ....

    this song is everything!!! SO beautiful <3

    C.... ....

    I know. It's amazing isn't it?

    C.... ....

    @Grant G You are this John Grant? responsible for Queen Of Denmark. Damon Albarn is one of a very few musical and lyrical geniuses. Beautiful song

  36. G.... G....

    Beautiful song

    G.... G....

    Absolutely-though there's always an argumentative jerk...

  37. A.... ....

    This is awesome!!

  38. S.... ....

    this is like the clasic Damon Albarn song and his backing band; Sometimes blur, sometimes gorillaz, some times the other ones and sometimes this one.

  39. R.... T....

    Album of the Year without a shadow - saw them in Blackpool and its mix of string orchestra and male voice choir was game-changing!

  40. O.... ....

    Why are tears silently streaming down my face

  41. S.... V....

    Rosemarie.? Interpol

    S.... V....

    finally, i was thinking of evil

  42. A.... N....

    Beautiful song and brilliant album... a big inspiration for me Mr. Albarn, you beautiful man

  43. K.... K....

    ¿Está más que claro que es un genio de la música?

    K.... K....

    Desde 1995 ;D

    K.... K....

    El mejor

    K.... K....

    Por supuesto

  44. L.... S....

    Amazing lyrics :)

  45. J.... R....

    Man this made me want to cry. One of the most beautiful songs Damon has written

  46. M.... D....

    Yup, after some time, I can definitely say this is the best song on the album.

    M.... D....

    I swear I see you *everywhere*

  47. A.... E....

    Damon the best puppet of Lucifer UuU

  48. S.... B....

    I like to imagine when Freddie Mercury died, a dark age of music ensued and one brave soul, matching that of this legendary musician, and lived up to his name like he was picked for it by some greater being choosing it. This man is my fresh homie Albarn, my MAIN amigo, who can’t stop making them grooves!

  49. S.... D....

    Such a beautiful song! I can't stop listening to it!!!

  50. N.... M....

    No entendí lo de la cintas, alguien me explica? :c

  51. R.... M....

    Gotta sing a duet with Gavin Friday

  52. R.... M....

    Plot twist: it’s Damon wearing a mask

  53. w.... ....

    I’m so happy. Thank you guys for finally coming back. This album is beautiful

  54. H.... l....

    Fucking beautiful 😘

  55. F.... ....

    Damon .. you inspire my life over and over ... since "I'm happy ..." when i was a child , when I could not even speak English. Just wanna say : THANK YOU ! 😲👍

  56. B.... C....

    Why did I almost cry?

  57. S.... U....

    Its been 2h with no progres, my need for a better guitar player intesifies

  58. S.... ....

    This.... THIS IS DAMON. THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ON THIS ALBUM.

  59. V.... X....

    Itro: |F -- |G -- |C E |Am -- | *2
    Verse: |F -- |G -- |C E |Am -- | *4
    Chorus: |Ab --|Bb --|Eb G|Cm --|*3 + |Ab --|Bb --|Bb --|Bb --|
    Repeat: Verse - Chorus - Verse

  60. s.... a....

    This is so perfect

  61. d.... O....

    damon is oficially the best musician in UK now that david bowie and elton john are in a better place

    d.... O....

    elton john isn't dead...

    d.... O....

    I wouldn't call Old Windsor a 'better place'

    d.... O....

    Also where are you putting radiohead

  62. S.... ....

    going through a really big rough patch and this song legitimately made me cry, I’ve never cried to a song and I just think this is my favorite song of all time. It’s so good sounding and let me relax and think. Damon is fucking wonderful at doing this, he is one of the best musicians in our time. This is beautiful and I’m so happy Damon continued with The Good, The Bad and The Queen.

  63. R.... F....

    Krótko, geniusz !

  64. R.... ....

    I fall in love with this song :')

  65. S.... ....

    This is probably the best song on the album.

    S.... ....

    S.... ....

  73. �.... ....

    beautiful song :')

  74. P.... D....

    I can't look at this mask...

  75. S.... F....

    Best song by far ❤️

  76. D.... G....

    This is song is what it means to be English. Englishness in a song.

  77. j.... m....

    I just wonder if they shot all the videos in one day because apparently the mask was a one time use thing

  78. D.... B....

    [Verse 1]
    I am the Maypole

    I am the Mast horse
    Riding out to war
    I wear my ribbons white and blue
    I am the arrow
    Stinging in your side
    I will never let you go

    [Verse 3]
    I am the last king
    Standing on the hill
    I wear my ribbons white, red, and green
    I am the visions

  79. W.... C....

    When you realize this MAN releases another masterpiece after years and years of carrier.
    How can I express my adoration to Damon's work ? Between Blur, Gorillaz and this band, never ceases to impress me...

    W.... C....

    To think music like this is still being made in 2018...
    It really makes you hopeful :)

    W.... C....

    @Viktor the victor Exactly.

    W.... C....

    Also his own personal album on everyday robots

  80. A.... f....

    This man is amazing !!

  81. M.... G....

    Заебись xd Привет всем русским.

  82. e.... ....

    Gorgeous and underrated

  83. L.... R....

    "I wear my ribbons black until i die"
    -The Good, The bad & the queen.

  84. B.... F....

    i'm gonna listen until i hate it.

  85. H.... H....

    Similar guitar sound to hostiles. Quite a profound message here. And you can't go wrong with a red velvet bow tie. Oh for a lover like him, even if lost.

    H.... H....

    I thought of that too (about hostiles, I mean), with him playing the intervals back and forth like that the way he does in both songs

    H.... H....

    @gross guy Yes, that wonderful raspy sound between chord changes is delicious! I wonder if there's a word for that?

    H.... H....

    Helen Hancock I’d say string noise or fret noise is what most people would probably call it

  86. z.... ....

    not hearing the rest of the band :(

  87. o.... n....

    La mejor de todas

  88. E.... G....

    Love it; Definitely buying!!

  89. F.... M....

    Que maravilla, de las mejores del disco

  90. c.... ....

    Strums at 2.12

  91. l.... ....

    how dare this song exist and how dare it make me cry

  92. R.... s....

    Esta cancion la pondría en un viaje melancolico en auto
    Like si tu tambien

    R.... s....

    Si, de hecho siento que ya la había escuchado cuando la escuché

  93. S.... ....

    Nearly 1k likes and no dislikes! Wow!

  94. f.... ....

    Other song makesme cry

  95. P.... F....
