| The Hoosiers – Worried about Ray Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
When I first heard this, it brought to mind a parent or carer worrying about the future of their disabled son (Ray), especially financial pressures with regards to his care, and eventual exhaustion with the uncertainity of it all. The bits about 'the future's out to get you' and 'I won't let you fall' made me think of the parent telling their son life will be difficult, but that they'll look after him. Probably that's totally wrong though... |

| Freelance Whales – Broken Horse Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Could he possibly have seen the horse again/the horse wandered back, he's so shocked he doesn't remember lighting up the gas for illumination, and he's alarmed at how the horse is now older (and possibly ill), with a curved spine and a haunted look in its eyes? That doesn't make much sense, now I read it... But this is still one of my favourite songs on the album. |
