”Horseness is the whatness of allhorse” is a reoccurring quote in James Joyce’s Ulysses, of which the song’s title draws its name from. The song was written by guitarist Carlos O’Connell, whose inspiration came from reading Joyce novels aloud to his infant daughter.
Basics
Understanding basics
You'll never let your guard down
And always leave a card out
But always
The word is not so friendly
It brings some fucking baggage
It's a word that's used for lying
And never
Never I would trust
It sticks around for some
While always stays for none
Will someone
Find out what the word is
That makes the world go round?
'Cause I thought it was 'love'
But some say
That it has to be 'choice'
I read it in some book
Or an old packet of smokes
And basics
I guess I get the gist
There's not that much to miss
You choose or you exist
