Lyrics:Wounded Horse

by XTC

Album version:

Well I stumbled and I fell Like a wounded horse When I found out You'd been riding another man Well I staggered round in circles On a losers course When I found out You'd been riding another man Well my friends all said Just climb back in the saddle And you know that everything will turn out right Well my friends all said You won't sink if you paddle But my ship drifts on   into an endless night Well I bit out my own tongue Like a wounded horse When I found out You'd been riding another man Well my friends all said Just climb back in the saddle And you know that everything will turn out right (Like it does in fairy stories) Well my friends all said You won't sink if you paddle But my ship drifts on   into some endless night Well I bit out my own tongue Like a wounded horse When I found out You'd been riding another man When I found out You'd been riding another man

Demo version:

Well I stumbled and I fell like a wounded horse When I found out you'd been riding another man Well I staggered round in circles on a loser's course When I found out you'd been riding another man Well my friends all said Just climb back in the saddle And you know that everything will turn out right Well my friends all said You won't sink if you paddle But my ship drifts on into an endless night Well I bit out my own tongue like a wounded horse When I found out you'd been riding another man Well my friends all said Just climb back in the saddle and you know that everything will turn out right Well my friends all said You won't sink if you paddle But my ship drifts on into a endless night Well I bit out my own tongue like a wounded horse When I found out you'd been riding another man When I found out you'd been riding another man
