Jon English : "Dark Horses"

Note: If you cannot watch the videos on this blog – try this.

There are other posts about Jon English on this blog which can be found with the search function and I have written about Jon English, before, and also here.

These are just a few little things that have made me happy during my life. And I know it is pure escapism.

I really love this song, and so many others Jon English has done that I cannot list them all.

The lyrics may mean different things to you than what they mean to me.

It doesn’t matter.

I think they are great lyrics.

Lyrics:

Hitchin' a ride into nowhere, people just killin' some ti-i-ime
Wastin' away with their own life, but wishin' away with their mi-inds
Watch 'em run
Or some folks travel on stowaway, some people flash through the fire
Some like to cruise down the boulevarde, some just go tight as a wire

But they run [all day long]
Dark horses runnin' their own race, makin' their own pace
On and on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force, we all ride dark horses who run

Some live the life of a stranger, some never look in your eye-eyes
Some sing and dance to the music, and some close their ears to the noise

But they run [all day long]
Dark horses savin' the last chance for the last dance
On and o-on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force, we all ride dark horses, and you -

You can waste your time and place [all day long]
Some place it's always rainin' [on and on]
Everybody needs someone to be someone
And the race is on now, watch 'em run

On and on, runnin' o-on

Oh, some realise their potential, some don't know where to begin
Some see a fire burnin' deep down inside, some the colour of the skin

But they run
Dark horses runnin' for everyone, on and on, oh they ru-un
Usin' the power of a light force, they all ride dark horses who ru-un
Dark horses, power of a hurricane, never twice the same
On and o-on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force
Ridin' on and on [all day long]
Dark horses runnin' their own race, makin' their own pace
On and on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force
Oh-oh, we all ride dark horses

From the album cover notes:

“Oh, by the way “Dark Horses” is a bastardised metaphor meaning loosely; Whatever is possible will be achieved by someone or something least expected. When it happens, however, no one will be surprised...”
