about

This one is my attempt at writing a sort of Brothers Grimm folktale. In the story, the horse is unruly and cruel to its master and when it finally throws him from its back and sets out on its own, without its master’s guidance, it drinks from a poison river and dies and is sent to the lake of fire.

Alternate meaning: it could also be about alcoholism. The horse is, literally, a party animal who can’t help himself and drinks poison (booze) in search of the Fountain of Youth.

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Terrible horse
kicked his master
threw his rider
drank no water
lied in the river dead
died
flies buzzing around his head and eyes

I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
But the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use
And the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use

Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
Here comes
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost

Terrible horse
What a disaster
Ran much faster
Wicked laughter
Poison river
Drank lead
Flies buzzing around his eyes and head

Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
Here comes
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost

I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
But the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use
And the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use

J’ai pas aimé du premier coup, mais, un jour, tout l’album s’est imposé comme un incontournable dans mes écoutes. C’est le band que je rechoisis le plus souvent et celui que je vais revoir avec autant d’excitation chaque fois. Bon Enfant, c’est un power band, composé de musicien·ne·s de grand talent qui pourraient partir chacun·e de leur bord et torcher des culs en solo. Mais quand i.elles s’unissent… Juste wow! Ma toune sur ce disque? depuis 6 mois : Magie!! hâte à la suite 🤘! dario iezzoni
