The name ‘Head of the Horse’ is probably a reference to the town in upstate New York that Jonny is from, Horseheads. It speaks about his father’s reaction to him being gay and the fact that the memories still plague him.
Hi
Hi
Welcome
Who's this?
Jonny
Oh, okay, just checking
Shrink-wrapped magazines in a paper bag
He hugged me when I came home
Only boy in a ballet class
He hugged me when I came home
Dad's on the pulpit talking about love
Mum's in the nursery cussing me out
He hugged me when I came home
Jean was crazy but she loved me
When she died I slept in her car
He hugged me when I came home
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Have a headache?
We'll grab the oil
If you complain
Well, thats the devil talking
He hugs me when I come home
Your sister got married fourteen times
But if you fall in love, son, that's a crime
He hugs me when I come home
Well I fell in love and told them I was happy
My dad hugged me and said this would be the last hug
This would be the last hug
This would be the last hug
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Philip took me out for pizza in London
He said they were his friends and they weren't mine
Philip took me for a walk in New York City
Please hug me when I come home
He told me my story was boring
He told me my story was boring
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again

By far the most detailed and personal I’ve ever been as an artist. This is an advantage of being the lone member of The Drums. I get to do and say whatever I want. It allows me to not be as general lyrically. This song is made up of various harrowing accounts from my childhood and young adult years....
