So She Walks Away 🐄

Skirmish: Broken Horn (@johndrtcp)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Prompt: Broken Horn ??

I don’t know what this means but I know what it means to me. It makes me think of all the cow hoof horn-trimming videos that have been popping up on my Facebook video feed. They are weird and I watch them. #filk #farm

Lyrics

Cut away a curl The thinner the knife, the older the blade, ohh Where’s the pressure, girl? Which claw does she favor?

Ride the white line Grind it fine Spray her with chlorhexidine In the chute, there’s more of ‘em Careful of the corium Glue and block it, build your stack Salicylic powder pack Bless her with your ministration So she walks away

Every day’s the same Til suddenly you’re lame Hope somebody’s got the tools To get you on your feet That’s how pressure builds and breaks you Takes someone to carve away the Bad stuff, it can look real ugly Still, they fix it cause they love you ‘Cause you’re more than meat

Lateral or medial The separation’s cruel Dew claws need a trim, do they? This farrier’s no fool And once he scrapes the hay away, The rocks and dirt and muck, They cannot wave goodbye to pain But cows can feel their luck

BRIDGE Is it a puncture or did the wound come from withinnnn? Is there infection, has it healed in layers, Yeah, slice it thinnnn

Ride the white line Grind it fine Spray her with chlorhexidine In the chute, there’s more of ‘em Careful of the corium Glue and block it, build your stack Salicylic powder pack Bless her with your ministration So she walks away

I love the specificity of these lyrics! Taking something which happens in a specific field (quite niche) and giving an insight into that field through words. Good take on the prompt

Ooh I like this !! I’d be tempted to try this as some kind of uptempo folk punk (think the Taxpayers) song. Nice work
