I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Song: Wild Horses, from Susan Boyle’s debut album I Dreamed a Dream,
due 23 November
Text: Wild Horses, excerpt, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 1971
