“What has particularly interested me about these horses is that, after thousands of years of domestication, they have adapted so successfully to life in the wild.

“Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…”

Lyrics
Context: I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…

Lyrics
Context: 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 can't let you slide through my hands

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