Pulling Down The Ride

[Banjo99uk]

Is it me or does anyone else think this whole song could be about pulling down Dire Straits.

Could be you, but maybe you could provide a link or some more context for us to pass a fair judgement? 

[Waterline Man]

Dont look into the lyrics or title too much as certain sections of the gay rodeo federation of Ireland are looking at this as a serious slurr  

[Love Expresso]

As maybe not everybody gets hold of a copy of this song I thought it might be a good idea to put the lyrics into this thread:
I think it has some affinity with Stand Up Guy, lyrically wise:


I've been under the motor, she's losing oil
Running on lies and alcohol
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride.

I ain't standing you no more rounds
no more stuffing your pockets with pounds
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride.

Well, I've fixed a fuse now the brakes won't budge
I'm laid down tired, sober as a judge
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride.

I tried looking in the mirror
seeing those cars behind
Yes and all these towns
Nothing but a hard old ground.

If you're done, I'll never need
I won't worry, I won't greave
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride.



These lyrics could be a picture for almost everything, the same with Time In The Sun. Those are lyrics which seem to be simple but I think there is
another meaning behind it.

Could be about DS, could be about Ed Bicknell, could be from someone else's point of view entirely... Interesting suggestion though, never paid much attention to the lyrics of this tune before.
