Horslips

Horslips are an Irish celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse". more »

You can fool the woman
One of these days, you're gonna
Fool the man
'Cause you've got the insight
You can see a world of things
They can't understand.

You can say you're winning
You can count the score
And say you know that they've lost.
But you'll end up admitting that
The price is more than simply counting
The cost.

Ah yes, they're blind already.
They're blind to love, blind to pain,
Blind to hope, blind to gain.
Ah you can fool them alright
But can you fool the beast?

You can fool the woman
Anyone can see you're gonna
Fool the man.
'Cause you've ways of knowing.

You can tell their pride will
Make them blind in the end.
And leave them blindly gazing
