Radio Paradise (mobile)

It's the second September I have known you
Four years or so ago, I rode a pony, called him "Truth"
We didn't know the way so it took us till today to get here
And all that time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
I was glad to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home
I can remember when I first saw you
You said in my photograph I looked more far away
I laughed and smiled and didn't say "I am a bit afraid to be here."
And all that time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
That I had to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home
Setting free the anchor and looking past the shore
It's a sea of horses on ships with no sails, no motors, no oars
Now we're cleaning the windows between us two
Funny, you do it once, and then again, and pretty soon
the fingerprints and dust...
But I've begun to trust the view here.
And all this time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
I was glad to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home

sirdroseph May 12, 2010 - 13:13	Yea, I am in agreement with the majority here, I never understood what people see in this band. [ Reply ]
mrmonkey May 12, 2010 - 13:11	Sounds just like Alanis singing. Not a good thing. [ Reply ]

fredriley Apr 15, 2010 - 07:46	Here's some irrelevant trivia: in the 'betting industry' in the UK, a 'pony' is £25. (£500 is a 'monkey' so a monkey = 20 ponies.) I just thought you'd all want to know that :o) [ Reply ]
electricparadise Mar 10, 2010 - 04:43	Me no likey [ Reply ]
Frater_Kork Feb 11, 2010 - 03:41	She missed the express pony and had to take the slow pony doing all the stops all the way home. Jup, I can relate to this. ;) [ Reply ]
bhallmark Feb 06, 2010 - 16:28	This is adorable. Love it musically but really fell for it lyrically the first time I heard her say "...For a girl. On a slow. Pony home." I don't mind being in the minority; I usually am. LOVE YOU BILL AND REBECCA! [ Reply ]
papaman Jan 26, 2010 - 19:30	I like this song. I don't understand why all the negative comments. [ Reply ]
Art_Carnage Jan 26, 2010 - 19:28	Only the existence of Sparklehorse keeps this from being The Worst Band Name Ever. [ Reply ]
Sloggydog Nov 24, 2009 - 23:08	Yeah what that last guy said. He was truly incisive. [ Reply ]
