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. Scott emphasizes a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing.

Everything is rags and there's nobody to blame but me
 And it would be so easy if there was no one to hurt but me
But now everything that I do coming out of me
 will just tear through you
In and out of you
 up and down your life like a curse
(So that when the sun bursts,
When the rain falls, when the wind blows,
I rip through your heart. On a horse called Nightmare,
 bucking and spitting, I ride to your house
In the home of Bluebeard, blood flows as red as any flag
 Death cries "Victory is mine!"
Laughter echoes,
 and Death just claps his hands
And then time stands still, castles fall,
 lightning strikes the tower, announcing Chaos
Sunday's Child scales the walls
 of a paradise then dives into darkness.
A fool playing god
 with one foot in Eden, one foot in Hell
And blindness in his brain
 and fever in his eyes
Lies on his tongue
 still saying "This is just a dream"
/
Cast by the only son of rags
 who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters
But he wanted nothing more, my loved one,
 than to wrap you up in JOY
But it never be with me -- you and I are like TWO WORLDS
 not meant to collide
Death to each other
 in the unravelling of time
So how do you... how do you like it?
 what kind of dream would you call it -
to have one foot in Eden,
 one foot in Hell
To be always numb,
 plagued by demons
Summoned by angels at the same time,
 ENDLESSLY)
But I will burn me
 right out of this place.
I will lay you down to sleep
 so when you wake
I'll be gone
 and you
will remember
 nothing
You
 will remember...
