Waterboys Lyrics
 | | Restless as the seafaring nomads whose chanties and airs they borrowed from, the Waterboys called no one style of music their own, but roamed the oceans and passage of time for sources of inspiration. Mike Scott and his ragtag troupe of aging folkies, pub buskers, and salty punks crafted with an artisan's care scrappy Folk-Rock that resonated with romantic, vaguely new age themes. Fisherman's Blues (1988) -- containing interpretations of Van Morrison, the Beatles, and W.B. Yeats -- captures them at their most adventurous. On the title track, Scott's tearful whelps and scotch-scorched vocals reach a fevered emotional pitch that infects the entire album. At a time when rock 'n' roll had brought to the brink of extinction instruments like the mandolin, bouzouki, and accordion, the Waterboys repopulated music with them, giving their songs a timeless quality. The results were never less than majestic. |

Waterboys Song Lyric:
Sweet Thing
(van morrison, john lennon)
And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they’ll get high On a blue ocean, against tomorrow’s sky
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain And I will never grow so old again Oh sweet thing, sweet thing My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I will stroll the merry ways and jump the hedges first And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they’ll get high On a blue ocean against tomorrow’s sky
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain And never ever ever ever ever get so old again
Ooh... Sweet thing My my my...
And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry Hey, it’s me! I’m dynamite and I don’t know why And you shall take me warm in your arms again And I will not remember that I ever felt the pain
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain And never ever ever ever ever get so old again
Ooh Sweet thing Yeah yeah yeah... Sweet thing My my my...
And I will raise my hand up into the night time sky And count the stars there shining in your eyes Just to dig it all an’ not to wonder, that’s just fine And I’ll be satisfied not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain And never ever ever ever ever get so old again
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes And your saint-like smile....
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take this broken wing and learn to fly All your life you were just waiting for this moment to arrive Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take your sunken eyes, learn to see All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free...
Get This Ringtone
