Horsechimes Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

Hello Johnson your mother once gave me 

A lift back from school 

That's no reason to get so excited 

I'd been playing football with the youngsters, Johnson says don't dramatize 

And you can't even spell salacious 

In a caravette with such a pretty widow, 

But wheels aren't there to be looked at. 

And it's cheap to say that she's delicious 

When she's someone's daughter 

Horse chimes so stupid and so mean 

On the offensive all wolf whistle and jeans 

Horse chimes they neigh they never bell 

All straw and piss they never kiss but tell 

Horse chimes 

Coarse times are here 

And don't I know it, and I'm ashamed 

And you won't say it, that we're to blame 

And I must change 

There is a saying tailor made for her she is the apple of your eye 

Lord don't smother her in soapy feelings 

You buy a pedestal only to rest it in a wheelchair 

Beauty can't be beauty 'till it's dying 

And I think I'll die unless I kiss you, please don't murder me 

Hark I hear the ghost of feeling leaving 

And you know what pushed her 

Horse chimes so stupid and so mean 

On the offensive all wolf whistle and jeans 

Horse chimes they neigh they never bell 

All straw and piss they never kiss but tell 

Horse chimes 

Coarse times are here 

And don't I know it, and I'm ashamed 

And you won't say it, that we're to blame 

And I must change
