The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll. After ten years of recording and touring, they dissolved in 1993 and Scott pursued a solo career. They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide.

You just stepped into the main track
 climbed down off the fence
Words are your weapon
 lies are your defense
I know what you want
 and I see what you see
You're looking for somebody
 but he isn't me
Find yourself another
 because we will not be lovers
How your eyes are like tortures
 and your presence is bliss
I never knew time
 could speed and zip like this
The touch of your flesh
 is tough to resist
Planets collide, collide
 at the smack of your kiss
But you can kiss your brother
 because we will not be lovers
Now you're pulling down curtains
 You've been sparking old flames
You've been causing disturbance
 crying for shame
You've been Knocking on doors
 You've been abusing my name 
You've been casting up doubt
 you've been throwing your blame
But you can throw it at your mother
 we will not be lovers
Now the world's full of trouble
 everybody's scared
The landlords are frowning
 cupboards are bare
People are scrambling
 like dogs for a share
It's cruel and its hard
 but it nothing compared to 
what we do to each other
 to each other
We will not be lovers!
 we will not be lovers, no
We will not be lovers, no
