Suede, "Pantomime Horse"
(1993)

I was born as a pantomime horse
Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor
I was cut from the wreckage one day
This is what I get for being that way

Well did you ever, did you ever go 'round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go 'round the bend?

I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of a superman
"I would die for the stars" she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head

Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?

... ever tried it that way, have you ever tried it that way?


Just for you, lieblings, I have uploaded the "Pantomime Horse" tour video--the one they projected on a screen while they were performing back in the day. It should give you an idea of why this song is so gay (if you didn't have one already), and you may not want to watch it if your boss or mother is around.

THAT SECOND BALLERINA IS A MAN IN DRAG. I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN'T SEE THAT.
