Your High Horse

Patrick Cannell © 2024
You think you're better than me and that is easy to see,
Your colours are raised on a mast.
And when you go for a ride, I feel a breeze from your pride.
Your image is being broadcast.

Ron Todd thought he was God but now he's feeling fine.

I think I'm better than you and that is partially true.
Your colours are being brought down.
And when you fall at a fence, that's when I'll get recompense.
Your image is trod in the ground.

My mate thought he was great but now he's in a mood.

And your high horse sets you up for a fall.
Yes your high horse sets you up.
It sets you up for a fall.

You think your horse is the best, well let's put that to the test.
My favourite's a thoroughbred too.
And when you're furlongs in front, you think you're winning the hunt.
Some foxes are faster than you.

One chap did a victory lap but now he feels like crap.

And your high horse sets you up for a fall.
Yes your high horse sets you up.
It sets you up for a fall.
