So You Got A Horse

So you got a horse

Did it come in a box

Almost got my heel caught in the stirrups

Woah feeling giddy..er..giddy..er..clip clop

Mmmm I like the feel of these reins

Kind of power steering

Take her out a while

There's a bit of play

Four feet and something

Feels like nothing

Careful with that mouth of yours boy

I don't want she should bolt

So you got a horse

So what you gonna do with it

Aw she's madonna

All cloven hoof and flared nose

You whp her ass and you watch her go

Hey hey grandad, hey let it go

I'm feeling sick, I'm letting go

Four feet and something

Feels like nothing

Careful with that mouth of yours boy

I don't want she should bolt

So You Got A Horse

PJ Harvey's 'So You Got A Horse' stands as a haunting centerpiece on her 2000 album, Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. Recorded with a raw, atmospheric production style, the track exemplifies her signature blend of gothic rock and folk sensibilities. The song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that drives an emotionally charged narrative, characteristic of Harvey's work during this period. It reflects her ability to weave personal introspection with broader social commentary, creating a sonic landscape that has become a defining element of her discography. The recording captures the tension and vulnerability often explored in her music, resonating deeply within the post-punk revival and indie folk scenes of the early 2000s.
