Isombard captures the stumbling dialogue of a ‘right wing Fox News-type TV presenter’ centered around the topic of police brutality and xenophobia. This isn’t the first time Declan McKenna has touched on sociopolitical issues. His breakout single Brazil, touched upon the miserable nature of football...
[Verse 1]
So what of you
The fateful few
Should take them all
Government fall? (la-la-la)
So tell your family and friends
We'll keep it plain
Never again (la-la-la)
[Chorus]
Well, if you can't walk then run
Well, if you can't walk then run
Walk then run
Well, if you can't walk then...
If you can't walk then run (ooh)
Well, if you can't walk then run (Isombard, ooh)
Walk then run
Well, if you can't walk (Isombard)
[Verse 2]
I'll make it clear, you'll make it then
But never here, never again (na-na-na)
So which one hangs police with gangs?
It's all the same, it's all the same
I met you here, but then you ran
You ran with fear, you fearless man (na-na-na)
So tell your violent and tame
That they will cry never again
[Bridge]
Ooh, Isombard
Ooh, Isombard
Ooh, Isombard
Ooh, Isombard
(Can't walk then run, well if you can't walk)
Ooh, Isombard
(Can't walk then run, well if you can't walk)
[Ooh, Isombard]
(Can't walk then run, well if you can't walk)
[Ooh, Isombard, ooh]
(Can't walk then run, well if you can't walk)
[Chorus]
Well, if you can't walk and run
Well, if you can't walk then run
Walk then run
Well, if you can't walk then...
If you can't walk then run
Well, if you can't walk then run
Walk then run
Well, if you can't walk...
[Outro]
(Ooh) Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't
Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't (Isombard)
(Ooh) Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't
Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't (Isombard)
(Ooh) Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't
Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't (Isombard)
(Ooh) Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't
Run
If you can't, if you can't, if you can't (Isombard)
Isombard was written by Declan McKenna.
Isombard was produced by James Ellis Ford.

The idea of Isombard is basically about this right wing Fox News-type TV presenter trying to justify things like police brutality and xenophobia, and using cases for backwards political gains, but completely fumbling over his words and not really knowing what he’s talking about.
It’s also maybe me t...
