Biffy Clyro – Born on a Horse Lyrics 15 years ago
I pronounce it aluminium
'cause there's an I next to the U and M
now write it down slowly
and read it out fast

She's got eyes
preposterous eyes
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
to make life feel alright
you can be my Acid Queen
until the end of time
cos you can have it all
you're stuck in the middle
racing one and all
I was born on a horse that's all

I like to think I'm just a thoroughbred
In all but name and with no horses flesh
we're galloping slowly
through this broken glass
shes got hooves
proeosterous hooves
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
to make life feel alright
you can be my Acid Queen
until the end of time
cos you can have it all
you're stuck in the middle
racing one and all
I was born on a horse that's all

cos you can have it all
you're stuck in the middle
racing one and all
I was born on a horse that's all

Biffy Clyro – Born on a Horse Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's about drugs. The lyric is definitely 'Acid Queen', which I would think is a reference to The Who's Tommy (the Acid Queen is a drug pushing prostitute). Horse can be either Heroin or perhaps a Ketamine reference and I also agree that the lyric is 'Racing one and all' - perhaps like chasing the dragon. Having 'preposterous eyes' implies they are unbelievably big, like he's tripping, and if that's the case that can explain a lot of the other imagery, and also the lyric 'I've been counting on the wrong things to make me feel alright'.

Whatever the meaning, it's a brilliant song!
