The sound seems to be talking about a drug addiction fallback or something... Maybe that's the reason of the weird lyrics. _________________ At the speed of cheeba, you and I go deeper... |

The reggae bit is fantastic! I love Drifting Along and always hoped they'd do more stuff like it.
Can't stop playing it!! _________________ May the wind always be at your back, and the sun upon your face...

Crazy white horse = cocaine.
Definitely one of the best songs on the album. _________________ Old school forever! |

The way I understand the lyrics :
Song seems to be about someone who hardly wanted and dreamed to be a star, doing everything he could to make it by any means, he successfully reached his goal, but completely lost control of his life while becoming famous.
Icarus myth.
He is now alone in drug and addictions, craziness, and love troubles.
In the end he seems to run away from those addiction, and have learned from all his previous mistakes; praying to not doing it again.
The trick of the song is to expressly name someone whit a mysterious name, whereas it seems it's nothing but a very autobiographic song indeed, smart. _________________ Smile ~ |

It's a brilliant song! One of the best ever from the band!
It's a kind of summary of the all the good vibes in the album!
Maybe Floyd is...Jay Kay himself? _________________ "People find it's hard to be strong, cos' they don't know where they're coming from" |

Thanks for your words Sandra, pity that most of people here prefer to talk about Xfactor than RDLS lyrics. _________________ Smile ~ |
