Whoever is picking the music for The Shield new season commercials on FX is hitting homerun after homerun. Last year they picked the excellent Black Lab song “This Night”. This year they followed up with Beck’s “Farewell Ride” from his Guero CD. Another excellent song and it really fits perfectly with the theme of this seasons The Shield.

Becks “Farewell Ride” lyrics are

Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Carrying me to my burying ground

Some need diamonds, some need love
Some need cards, some need luck
Some need dollar bills lining their clothes
All I need is
All I need is

Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Taking me for my farewell ride

Some may say this might be your last farewell ride
Some may say this might be your last farewell ride

I don’t see the face of kindness
And I don’t hear the mission bells
I don’t smell the morning roses
All I see is
All I see is

Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Carrying me to my burying ground

Some may say this might be your last farewell ride
Some may say this might be your last farewell ride
