“Ride a White Horse” was the third commercially released single from Goldfrapp’s third album Supernature.
Inspired by the disco club scene of the late 70s and early 80s, the song was both a commercial and critical success.
[Verse 1]
Now take me dancing at the disco
Where you buy your Winnebago
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse
[Verse 2]
When the light turns into darkness
Will he turn up to explain us?
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse
[Chorus]
Lend me a whole new world
All night, feel life, oh, oh
When is there ever sense
To love this world? Oh, oh
[Verse 3]
In the whirlpool, we'll go deeper
In this world that's getting cheaper
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse
[Verse 4]
I like dancing at the disco
I want blisters, you're my leader
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse
[Chorus]
Lend me a whole new world
All night, feel life, oh, oh
When is there ever sense
To love this world? Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Lend me a whole new world
All night, feel life, oh, oh
When is there ever sense
To love this world? Oh, oh
[Outro]
Oh, I love this feeling
Feels like forever
Oh, I love this feeling
Feels like real leather
