lyrics

High Horses

I look out on this great green country
With a sentimental tear
At all those gift shop scavengers
Poking through the remains of
Once great dynasties
Our father’s father’s father’s father thought
Would last for ever

Gaze in awe at our countryside
Blink away all of your miserable towns
Show some appreciation
All those insults casually thrown
They don’t mean anything
Chinless wonder, spineless bastard
We’ve still got teeth, we’ve still got claws
You’re littering our country estates
Now you’ll get what’s coming to you

Saddle up in the morning
Let’s go ride our high horses
One day, without warning
We’re going to
Ride through your sensitive needs
Get out of our way ‘cos we’re coming
Saddle up in the morning
Let’s go ride our high horses
Shut up all you plebs and strays
Nobody listens to you anyways
Now we don’t care
Who we trample from on high
Because it’s not about you

1066 is not the price
Of a bottle of vodka
And all those paintings on the wall
That’s my chin, that’s my nose
We were not born and bred
To be subservient
To dance attention
On your ill mannered children
You’re trampling our country estates
But now we’re going to serve our turn on you

Saddle up in the morning...

I own a painting by Gainsborough and Goya
I own a view by Capability Brown
