This looks like one of Mick's photographs of Max and Cub. Good tune, but I prefer the b-side.
I actually played The Lady is for Burning, at a huge goth dance night, here in New England (Boston); it went over well. I think it scared the kids. hehe..
To the ones wondering abt the lyrics.
I am traveling in a train which is packed. In my compartment every place is occupied by a woman holding a man on her knees. I am a horse.
All the travelers have an enormous appetite. They eat without stopping. Suddenly the men begin to whimper, and have a longing for their mother’s breast. I am a horse.
They unbutton the women’s blouses and suck fresh milk to their hearts’ content. Only I suckle no one. And I’m suckled by no one, because I am a horse!
No one has taken me on her knees, because I’m a horse! I sit upright and tall with my hind legs on the railway seat. I am a horse.
Hans Arp
I am a horse
I travel in a train
that is overcrowded
in my compartment
each seat is taken by a woman
with a man sitting on her lap
the air is unbearably tropical
all the travellers have an enormous appetite
they eat without ceasing
suddenly the men
begin to whimper
and long for the maternal breast
they unbutton the women's blouses
and suck the fresh milk to their hearts' content
I alone do not suck
nor am I suckled
nobody sits on my lap
because I am a horse
immense and upright I sit
with my hind-legs up on the train seat
and comfortably lean
on my fore-legs
I whinny a raucous neigh neigh neigh
on my breast glitter
the sex buttons of sex appeal
in neat little rows
like the glittering buttons on uniforms
oh summertime
oh wide wide world...
Good shit. For years, me and my boyfriend would emit the 'hurrr' or 'hrrrip' neighing noises Max says after the refrain any time anyone would mention horses
