_______________________________________________

I've never really thought about these lyrics too much before, but in typing them out it now seems clear that though the song is about horses, it is from the perspective of sheep, presumably watching the horses.

So it's a song for sheep! It all makes sense now!

Just cheap tarnished glitter

Or atleast that's what I get on the studio version

Just had a listen, this seems right to me - almost positive it's "crowds" in the first line too.

It IS "crowds", that's what all the lyrics on the internet say as far as I know, and plus it does sound like "crowds" too, so there's nothing to be mistaken about. Mystery solved.

In your body and in your very soul. You never ever really felt at home. Slow reflections and strange delays. So much to write but not much to say. Slow reflections and strange delays. Hopes in vain were never raised.

Love this b-side!

I speak James

On MSPedia it says "hopes and ??? were never raised". Either of these two statements can be true, but if I had to fill the blank in the second one I'd say "dreams" --> "hopes and dreams were never raised".
