i dedicate this song to me--wildhorses
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXTnYCg8v8o


Always alone never with a herd
Prettiest mare Ive ever seen
Youll have to take my word

Im gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand

Well I was up on stony ridge after this chestnut mare
Id been chasin her for weeks
Oh, Id catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
Takin her meal, or bathin
A fine lady

This one day I happened to be real close to her
I saw her standin over there
So I snuck up to her nice and easy
And I got my rope out
And I flung it in the air

Im gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
Im gonna catch that horse if I can

Well I got her, and Im pullin on her, shes pullin back
Like a mule goin up a ladder
I take this chance and I jump up on her
Damned if I dont land right on top of her
Well she takes off, runnin up on to that ridge
Higher than Ive ever been before
Shes runnin along just fine, till she stops
Something spooked her
Its a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
She doesnt know what to do for a second
But then she jumps off the edge
Me holding on

Above the clouds
Higher than eagles were gliding
Suspended in the sky

Over the moon
Straight for the sun we were riding
My eyes were filled with light

Behind us black walls
Below us a bottomless canyon
Floating with no sound

Gulls far below
Seemed to be suddenly rising
Exploding all around

Im gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
Im gonna catch that horse if I can

And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down
Id say! I look down and I see this red thing below us
Its our reflection in a little pool of water
About six feet wide, and one foot deep
And were comin up real fast
Crawling down right through it
We hit and we splashed it dry
Thats when I lost my hold and she got away
But Im gonna try to get her again some day

Im gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
Im gonna catch that horse
Im gonna catch that horse
Im gonna catch that horse if I can
Im gonna catch that horse if I can

but wildhorses couldn't drag me to listen to the Stones :argh: I hear a red song and I want to paint it black and listen to the sounds of silence.

You weren't before, but the 'orange U' thing probably pushed you over the edge :scared:

9. waiting for a star? Are there stars out tonight?

Sort of a hard to see video, and probably not my favorite version of the song.

Yours was awesome though. I loves me some techno pop. and let's face it, it does have a great beat and you can dance to it. :blush:
