about

One Sunday afternoon sitting on our terrace , a Horse came riding by. Strange times Archie , strange times.....

lyrics

A Horse Came Riding By

Sunday Morning met the sun
A horse came riding by
Faster than a speeding train
The cobbled sparks did fly
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Has no one heard the news
The man is caught with ill intent
and his kingdom likely lose

For he dodged his taxes
Paid no dues put money in the shade
said we must work like trojans too
Even children must make the grade
He’s a regular scoundrel
A man of the world he looks like you and me
But he talks the talk and walks the walk
And he walked the charge scot free

And all the worlds so full of rage
No time for tea for two

Oh rosa rosa rosa dear
God knows what we should do
The whole worlds gone so feckin mad
And I think I’m goin’ too


Monday came and bills they fell
Like confetti on the mat
A storm was brewing lightning struck
The horse had spooked the cat
Just when you thought couldnt get no worse
Along came Johnny doo
He said we’re all for bad times coming soon
and leaving Europe too

Tuesday came and Wednesday went
And Thursday time just flew
went to town to walk around
and see what more was new
There was hawkers, walkers, boys in blue
the army on the fly
And all of this and so much more
when a horse came riding by






And all the worlds so full of rage
No time for tea for two

Oh rosa rosa rosa dear
God knows what we should do
The whole worlds gone so feckin mad
And I think I’m goin’ too
Vote for change and change will come
For change is what we need
Small change won’t pay the bills my dear
When the children we can’t feed


There’s robot workers on the rise
Revolution is the fear
Bombs to close for comfort
We missed the boat my dear
Machines to walk and talk like men
who’d have thought it women too
The times are changing fast and loose
I don’t know just what to do

The net we cast
word on the street its faster than the horse in flight
I can see myself coming down the road
sometime tomorrow night
I can talk to America , Europe too
but I’m not sure I understand
Tomorrows world , yesterday
well rosa ain’t it grand

And all the world so sad and grey
And then it starts to rain

Oh rosa rosa rosa dear
God knows what we should do
The whole worlds gone so feckin mad
And I think I’m goin’ too
There’s people sleeping on the streets
It could make a blind man cry
And all of this and so much more
when a horse came riding by
