Jools Holland - Horse To The Water lyrics

You can take a horse to the water but you can't make him drink Oh no, oh no, oh no A friend of mine in so much misery Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef I said "Hey man let's go out and get some wisdom" But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system You take a horse to water but you can't make him drink Oh no, oh no, oh no You can have it all laid/staked out in front of you but it still don't make you think Oh no, oh no, oh no Someone I love is gotta problem Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink I said "Hey man this could turn out to be risky" He said "Everything's ok" as he downed another bottle of whiskey There's a preacher out there warned me about Satan Could be that he knows him Cause' He acts like he's possessed I said "Hey man let's hear about God realisation For a change" he said "We ain't got time for that First you must hear the evils of fornication"
