lyrics

I’d pinned a mule’s tale

To the slacks hung on the cabinet door

But it seems like nineteen-ninety-seven

Was the year of the corduroy.



Bookies backed a dead nag

That got flogged, maybe destroyed

And the two riders that approached

Were clutching coconuts and polaroid’s

Of the beast that crossed the line

‘bout Arabian spring-time

You left your mark behind

Now I’ve left mine with;



A dead draught horse for the goad

A headless rider in the road

There before me as foretold

The old cart horse will bare the load.



When all the King’s horses

At the post are pipped

He may ride side-saddle

But he shoots from the hip

Thoroughbred over steeple

Gentry over suffragette

Then the last post will play

Above your left epaulette.



So cards on the table

You put your money on the lame and unable

I pinned a tale on the strong and the stable

A par for the fabled course



A dead draught horse for the goad

A headless rider in the road

There before me as foretold

The old cart horse will bare the load.
