Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Pony in the Stable

You're messing with my mind

You're thrilling me but killing me

I'm missing all the signs

You're rushing me and crushing me

Same old same old

Packs of lies and compromises

Same old same old

Pony in the stable

You've got me where it stings

Wrapped around your little finger

Sold off all my things

Begging like a carol singer

Same old same old

Bread and dripping on the table

Same old same old

Pony in the stable

Forgive me if I sneer

You're used to being Cleopatra

You don't like to hear

The stuff you dish out come back at you

Same old same old

Packs of lies and compromises

Same old same old

Pony in the stable

I'm flattered but I'm scared

You picked me out from all the others

Should have been prepared

For friends to parlay into lovers

Same old same old

Bread and dripping on the table

Same old same old

Pony in the stable
