Wild Horses




Wild Horses is one of Mick Jagger's more mellow songs.
Didn't realize so many people had covered it until the recent hubbub regarding Susan Boyle covering it.
Check them out by order of my preference.


The Rolling Stones


The Sundays


Garbage


Bush


Alicia Keys and Adam Levine


Emmylou Harris


Susan Boyle


Childhood living it's easy to do
The things that you wanted well I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you just slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
But no sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamt you a sin and a lie
And I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Fate has been suffered and tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die

Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away...away
