Wild, wild horses we’ll ride them some day. I have my freedom but I don’t have much time.įaith has been broken tears must be cried, Text: Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know HOW I am You.
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands.Ĭould make me feel bitter or treat you unkind. The things you wanted I bought them for you. Wild Horses (Live 1975) Lyrics: Childhood living is easy to do / The things you wanted I bought them for you / Graceless lady, you know who I am / You know I cant let you slide through my hands. There are a couple decent versions but nothing monumental. This is a song that is ripe for a great cover. The guitar work sounds almost ad-libbed at times, but that is part of its charm. Of course, I think it is the melody that stands out in “Wild Horses” as well as the overt romanticism that makes this song such a favorite. Lyrics to song Wild Horses (Stripped Live Version) by The Rolling Stones: by vincenzik Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them. Not only are his vocals clear, they sound somewhat heartfelt. Mick’s vocal’s sound good, but throughout even the mid seventies he was pretty consistent with his voice. The harmonies in the chorus are not elite level, but they are still good. He is saying “let’s be together now and worry about this ‘living’ at another time in the future.” It sounds very different than the typical impression we get of Jagger as a playboy. The line above is very interesting: “Let’s do some living after we die.” It sounds like she wants to break up with him and live her life while she’s young…or something to that effect. Her theatrics and attempts to sabotage the relationship are not going to dissuade him. He is not going to let her ruin a good thing. Problems become more pronounced and it appears that the woman may be pushing the narrator away.
The Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” is a song about young love and the transition into an adult relationship.
