White Horses Lyrics

All the white horses are dragged below the sea
What goes on in there?
Some of them we’ll see rise again
All the white horses are dragged below the sea
Some of them will be born again
All winners are losers baby
Any loser will tell you that
You sleep right here and I'll watch you bounce right back

At the bottom of their arc
They don’t feel like they’re moving up
All winners are losers baby that’s just that
All the white horses are dragged below the sea
Fighting for life in there
Some of them we’ll see rise again

All the white horses are dragged below the sea
That’s all we are my friend
Some of us will feel the air again

I don’t feel good in a big crowd
Since the Rodent got back in
They used to move amongst us
And now we move amongst them

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i never thought id find a song that sums up my feelings so much as this one... the 'white horses' are the ALP voters, and the song is pretty much about how since John Howard/the Liberals, or.. the rodents (god, i love it!), got into power, Australia has gone from being community minded, to all about the individual. I love the last verse! heres to hoping this election the white horses will 'feel the air again'

Can I adore The Whitlams and loathe their politics?

Tim and I could never be. He'd want to watch the ABC and I'd be throwing things at it, calling it a bias piece of shit.
