Poem To A Horse Lyrics
You're too far to bring you across
Too high to see below
Just hanging on your daily dose
And you never needed anyone
But they're rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have?
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way
Chorus:
I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
I'd rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab to New York
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
Cuz there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've got other things to do
this song is about how this girl's boyfriend does pot all the time, and she gets sick of it, and when she trys to talk to him, it's like reading poems to a horse, he completely doesn't pay attetion. I love it. It's pretty funny if you really listen to the words.
Actualy, she wrote this song because she said that one of her closest friends started to do drugs, so she wrote for him/her... It is definitely my fav song out of Laundry Service... Not necessarily for the drug things, but i think of it as someone who thinks she's the big shit and ignores you... Hahaha
How can you say that the song isn't about drugs when it has the fuckin' line "Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot" in it?!?!?!?
This is a really good song. The text really describes how I used to be :( Yeah this song could have been about me, but I got lucky and found a girl who convinced me to stop and we're still going strong :)
im not sure about this song being about Antonio de la rue, cause then there are songs like Te Aviso, Te anuncio, and if thats about him, then i dont think they would still be together. Im pretty sure that all the love songs are about him, but this song my be for a friend she once had or another man in her life that was important to her.
But ashley did pretty much sum it up pretty good.
Yeah, you nailed it, Ashley. :P
Humm... never would'a thought about it like that. A poem to a horse sounds pretty funny...
Do you think this song could perhaps be about Antonio de la Rua, or is it just written in a general tone? I dont know, i remember hearing Laundry Service was written all about him...
this song is pretty cool to listen to. i like it
this is my favorite song on her album, hteres really nothing left to say except how great the song is becuase everyones pretty much already said exactly whati believe.
and btw.. go sinister... whoever you are. haha
