Viva Dead Ponies

Viva Dead Ponies (originally titled "Bugs Fucking Bunny" ) is the second album by The Fatima Mansions, and features elements of both their original, more synth-led and melodic sound on songs such as "You're a Rose", as well as the noisier, guitar-oriented style that would become more prominent in their later works (a notable example of this being "Look What I Stole for Us, Darling").

As with their later album Lost in the Former West, the American release of Viva Dead Ponies featured a different track list, removing the poppy "Thursday" and adding "Only Losers Take the Bus" and "Blues for Ceausescu". In 2007, Kitchenware and Sony BMG Music Entertainment reissued it as a 2-CD set, with a remastered version of the album on CD 1 and a career-spanning compilation on CD 2.
