"Ride It On"/"Lions After Slumber" is a 7"split single by Delays and The Veils, released in November 2003 to promote the album Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before... a compilation of interpretations by current Rough Trade bands of classic songs released by the label.
"Lions After Slumber" was originally released in October 1981 as the B-side of The "Sweetest Girl" (in UK, US and Germany) by Scritti Politti.[1] The title and final line is a quote from Shelley's poem The Masque of Anarchy, often cited as the first modern statement of the principle of nonviolent resistance. "Rise, like lions after slumber / In unvanquishable number!”[2]
