Going for the One Lyrics

Get the idea cross around the track
Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser
Getting the feel as a river flows
Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees
And should you...

    I've thought of it as being about trying things that put you outside your comfort zone and how euphoric you feel while doing them, and how these moments in time and space are the nearest to love you can get.

    should I really chase so hard
    The truth of sport plays rings around you...


    Sounds like a guy who is chasing after a woman/love, and wondering if all the trouble is worth it. The song is uplifting so it sounds like he thinks it's worth it in the end.
