King Horse Meaning

[[Verse 1]
Cheap cut satin and bad perfume
Showtime is almost here
Teased up by a strip cartoon
Laughing up your sleeve, sniggering in your beer
He’d seen the bottom of a lot of glasses
But he’d never seen love so near
He’d seen love get so expensive
But he’d never seen love so dear

[Chorus]
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force

[Verse 2]
She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth-and-trousers set
Hit the till, bring the bill, never spill a sip
And still she knows the kind of tip she is gonna get
A lotta loose exchanges, precious little respect
When it’s someone else’s weekend, that’s the best you can expect

[Chorus]
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
, [Bridge]
So fond of the fabric
So fond of fabrication
From comic books to tragic
Through the heart of complications

[Verse 3]
Meanwhile back in some secluded spot
He says, “Will you please?” and she says, “Stop”
If I ever lose this good thing that I got
I never wanna hear the song you dedicated tonight
‘Cause, you see, I knew that song so long before we met
That it means much more than it might

[Chorus]
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force

[Outro]
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness and brute force
, Now I know that you’re all King Horse
Between tenderness…]
