Finn, Neil - Pony Ride Lyrics

He only wants to get you out of your mind
Offer sweet resistance don’t be unkind
When I was a boy I rode on his back
Now I ask myself the question

There’s no way I’m leaving this pony ride
in the midday tournament
I should never complain again
Thoughts spread like vines tangled up inside
They all decide to find a place
If you can hear the circuits jam I cannot tell

To the top of the hill I dig in my heels
And I whisper gently to the lord of the fields
And I listen closely to the sound of the bees
But I fear my nature has lost me

Somedays I’d rather be mystified
than understanding part of it
and have you try to explain again
thoughts spread like vines tangled up inside
They all decide to find a place
You can hear the circuits jam
I cannot tell

Only love

Is tripping you up
Poking your eye
taking you downtown
what goes on
I’ll sing you a song
a face on the mirror, the mirror

They come from the underground
And deep down you know it’s true
you laid out the welcome mat
For catfish and vampire bats

Somedays I’d rather be mystified

than understanding part of it
and have you try to explain again
Thoughts spread like vines
tangled up inside

They all decide to find a place
You can hear the circuits jam
I cannot tell

Finn, Neil Pony Ride Comments

Debonaire Nerd

Tragically underrated track from an equally under celebrated album.
bonnie bianco

oasis singing stone roses ?

Jan Post

+bonnie bianco Neil Finn, Split Enz & Crowded House are to my opinion much better than what Oasis ever made.

Chris

Umm . . . no, it's Neil Finn, one of the best song writers ever. Oasis is horrible.
Gazz S

Love it neil... that intro bass line.... awesome
John Lawler

Very 60s, warped, and psychedelic. Neil's found the magic buttons again.

This is one of the stand-out songs on the album. Wonderful, complex, driving melody. If anything, the album could use one or two more like this as I find it a bit on the slow, quiet side. The songs, taken as a whole, stand up to Neil's usual high quality though
