One Foot Before the Other - Frank Turner

One Foot Before the Other - Frank Turner
3:25
England Keep My Bones, 2011
Written by Frank Turner

Surely one of Turner's masterworks, this song finds him asking — rather, demanding — to be scattered into England's reservoirs after he dies. "And then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains / Will slide down seven million throats and into seven million veins / And I will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones."  Turner all but roars the lines.  It's brash, loud, muscular, cathartic, proud, victorious.
