While
continuing the folk rock style of Songs From the Wood, Heavy Horses
sees a tonal shift into more earthly and realist themes of country
living, compared with the fantasy and mythology of the previous album.
Anderson was again inspired by daily life at his recently purchased
country estate in Buckinghamshire, saying that "I was living in the same
house in the same place, and getting a bit more involved in farming and
other rural stuff... so the horse-hoeing husbandry of the original
Jethro Tull era was in the back of my mind." Several of the album's
songs were directly inspired by Anderson's personal life at the estate:
"...And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps" was partially inspired by his cat
Mistletoe, "No Lullaby" was written as an "anti-lullaby" for his son
and "Rover" was partially inspired by his dog Lupus. Other songs on the
album such as "Weathercock" and the title track paint a cold and
practical picture of country living, with the latter track described by
Anderson as "a lament for the passing as working animals of those
magnificent beasts, the heavy farm horses." Other track's lyrics were
inspired by literature, such as "One Brown Mouse" inspired by the Robert
Burns poem "To a Mouse" and "Moths" inspired by the John le Carre novel
The Naive and Sentimental Lover.
Anderson stated that the recording
of the album came at a time when other artists were moving towards the
new trends in music, and the band decided they did not want "to appear
as if we were trying to slip into the post-punk coattails that were worn
by The Stranglers or The Police."
