| The Cowboy Junkies – A horse in the country Lyrics

A slice of a life as Michael Timmins captures so beautifully and his sister conveys so well. Uncovering the poignancy and magic hidden in the mundane. Milk is too expensive, the sun doesn't shine, and in spite of her rationalisations she doesn't love her husband anymore. But every other weekend she gets to call her horse to her, and ride away, and dream about never turning back. |

| Elbow – Charge Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
Old burnt out raver turned to drink and sitting in a pub somewhere in a northern city. He's one of the ones who kept on going while his friends settled down and now he's cast adrift between the generations. Not at home with his contemporaries but no longer able to fit in with their successors. So here he sits surrounded by the youngsters of the current crowd. Desperately wanting to join in with a veteran's authority and share his war stories of the glories of his youth. But he's upset and frustrated to find he is shunned and despised by the very people he sees as his tribe. "I" speaks at times more for the generation than for the individual. The little mystery on your tongue is a MDA/MDMA reference. Broken jaws protecting laws harks back to the poll tax and criminal justice act demonstrations in the 90's. My god, we thought we were going to live forever, we thought we were changing history.
That's what I get anyway. |

I'm not sure what the word is for it but to me it seems to be about this idea that on some level everything that we see in other people is just an image of what we want to see. We are always looking for someone else but in the end its just ourselves looking back at us. |
