Yeah love this song. I usually listen to this when I'm down and can't deal with life's problems. Love Axl singing "Sick of this life not that you care, etc. It is exactly how I feel except no one is messing with my car! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Dead Horses is a good example of how good music can make shit lyrics work if they fit the shit lyrics right. 'then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car, i didn't know what to do' is a great line though. Edited February 4, 2017 by Len Cnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHelgo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm a fan of this one as well. Not top 5, but maybe top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) This is definitely one of those songs that aged very well... back when I first got this album it was just the song before Coma, but now I hardly ever skip it whenever I listen to UYI 1. I like it lyrically too because it seems to be sincere and personal, knowing what happened to him as a child. I prefer listening to lyrics like that rather then songs about drugs, life on the streets and women, which most of AFD is about. I was only a small childWhen the thought first came to meThat I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a sonThat brought back the devil in me Edited February 4, 2017 by EvanG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 ''That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son That brought back the devil in me'' Hmm. I get the ''son of a gun'' bit, a euphemistic term for a bit of a cad, but the rest is nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It's pretty plain to see this song isn't about drugs, sex or other shenanigans that most songs on their first album were about. There are more songs on UYI, especially the ones Axl wrote the lyrics for, that are about more personal things and reference his childhood. That's all.

wasted Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does the Dead in Dead Horse have anything to do with the Dead behind the band photo on the inside cover of UYI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Good deep cut. Axl's big guitar moment. Me and some others talked about it recently, but the line about met an old cowboy is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Never cared much for this song. It's an ok song IMO. Definitely better than Bad Obsession or Garden Of Eden for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why they have Dead in the background? Did it have something to do with media coverage of the band around that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
