about

A fun little concept to work with this one. Extending the metaphor of someone being on their high horse over three verses (finishing with me on my high horse...!). I think this sets the tone for at least the next two tracks (if not the album) - ranting away as I do. The track took shape a lot more for me after Steve Ling adding the wah guitar to it and it was also really nice to get Corby's O.P.1 on a track! Met him at various gigs down there and he knocked the cuts out the park.

lyrics

So easy to take the moral high ground/
When you're way up on your horse having a ride round/
Just through day to day life I've found/
You need to pipe down when your mind's talking right loud/
Cos it's much easier to pass judgement/
Than it is to be the person getting judged just look up/
Catch the guy there on his loyal steed/
Having the time of his life being royalty/
Handing out decrees on how something should have been/
When it comes to sorting summat out they're nowhere to be seen/
Just straddling a saddle in a paddock in a dream/
That we need another lecture from the king or maybe queen/
Full of self confidence built on self esteem/
Or is it just a wall so we don't see behind the scenes?/
Mate it's not required we don't need you on the team/
So do one with your massive mare and friggin’ leave us be//

On ya high horse...
Get off ya high horse

If you read the Daily Mail and all that other shite/
Put stilts on your horse and ride the mountain sides/
Cos no horse... is too tall... that we can't smell the man you're/
Covering up, when you're sprouting all that rancour/
I'm sure that you were encouraged to debate/
During your time in Oxbridge, Eton or some other lovely place/
But it makes us distrust the heads of state/
When they stood up, said some stuff and people made out it was great/
Cos it sounded anti-freedom, anti-human, pro-cash/
And cash is the only thing that dunt exist and won't last/
They make us chase while they maintain a gold stash/
Dashing round on horseback telling us, "don't hold back/
Let the planet take the battering it's old hat/
We need energy by any means: burn the oil, frack/
Let the wildlife be damned it'll probably grow back/
Now I'm off to dodge tax and stable the old nag"//

It's my high horse
Get off ya high horse
On ya high horse...
Get off ya high horse

Sometimes...I can't descend from my high horse/
Wonder whether I'm even up on it to climb orrfff/
Am I offering some thoughtful advice/
Or am I the awkward guy who's also all full of shite?/
People's eyes rolling as I stroll in, legs wide open, atop a stallion/
I know things so take polite notice, turns phones to mute and desist from your chattering/
I need a battering, it's embarrassing, it's not flattering, and now I'm panicking/
Cos how often have I bin up on horseback/
Without realising it was me giving a short chat?/
On my opinions, unwelcome as they are/
On what you should have done in order to make it far/
On what I know it is to be alive and also me/
Regardless of your problems, my horse and I agree//

We're on the right course
Why's that?
Cos it's my high horse
On my high horse
I need to get off my high horse
....After this next track.
