Lyrics

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
