It sounds like it's about the music industry.

'makersandwater' is correct. it's about a horse called "bull in the heather" whos odds of winning the race were something like 29:1 and it did win. the horserace footage and horse in the video are respectively from that, as well as the hints of luck (ie four leaf clover) since those are incredible odds to overcome, and most obviously "bettin' on the bull in the heather."

It talks about the pleasures of being submissive in a S&M relationship. It's a very cool song very sexy and appealing.

regarding tbeasleys above comment the cover is not bad, its very go! team, but it completely loses the sexiness of the original this song oozes sensuality. its hot. without the video, without even understanding the words, you just know its about sex.

I think it's about someone who relies on selling sex to live, like a whore or something like that.

there was a horse a few years ago called "bull in the heather." that's what this song is about. the video makes that obvious.
