what were you doing there


nothing... digging sand --

Well, what else?

Equus :
That's a terrific Castle --

Must have taken 
long time to build 

you can stroke him if you like; he 
won't mind his name's Trojan 

easy there, Trojan, 
easy boy easy there --

Trojan 

Oh you can hardly reach from down
there you want to come up
come on --

Then no come on this side --
You always 
mount a horse 
on the left -- I'll give 
you a lift up ...

Okay 

I do nothing at all easy, easy, easy,
don't be frightened huh just hold
untight to his man and grip with your
knees... that's it -- come on n let's go 

Want to go 
faster....? All you have 
to do is say, "Come on,
Trojan -- bear me away!
Say it, there --
Bear me away --
I can't hear you, say 
it,
'Bear me away --', 
come on --
