Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 42
Fisherman’s Blues
Life is a journey by train and each song is like a station. Take time to explore. That’s where the magic happens.
“And on that fine and fateful day
I will take thee in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms”#TheWaterboys #MikeScott #SteveWickham #WHAuden #TheWonderStuff #GreatAuntIda #EmiliaClarke #Dawes #JohnPrine #NikoStratis

"Well it's got nothing to do with anything that is real
You just believe in it and it's true
You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint
You can dream it and see it through
You will live to see a sea of lights
Sparking on the face of a pearl
Climb your own peak
Find a new streakGet yourself along to the world party (party!)
Now you've been building for yourself a cool place in the sand
You're thinking that it's mighty fine
You've got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth
But it's your head, it ain't mine
I've got a madman of my own to contend with
Cursing in the cave of my skull
Turn the other cheek
Find a new streakGet yourself along to the world party (party!)
Well I heard a rumour of a golden age
Somewhere back along the line
Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or
Heard it in a spell
It was something to do with the sign of the times
And the only thing that I remember
Is a summer like a pretty girl
Who shimmers and shines
Moving in time
Shaking to the beat of the heart of the worldParty (party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party!) "

Somebody Might Wave Back
#TheWaterboys (1994)
"Seven O'clock in the morning and I'm riding the overnight train
I've got ten tonnes of luggage but I left it behind when I came
I look at my watch, says September seventeen
We're riding past some place where I've never been
And I'm waving through the window as we go
Somebody says 'Well, hey, what are you waving at?'
Well what have I got to lose
Somebody might wave backSeven O'clock in the morning and I'm carrying bags under my eyes
Been awake all night, counting the hours to sunrise
(Drawing patterns/Beating rhythms) on the tabletop
I lift my gaze and my mouth just dropped
Someone waving in the window at me
And I say 'Hey there, what are you waving at?'
When he says 'What do I have to lose,
Somebody might wave back'
What do I have to lose,
Somebody might wave back" -

It can soothe like an angel or sigh like a saint you can dream it and make it true
But you're gonna have to put away your illusions burn all your beads and your pearls
Turn the other cheek, stay straight a few weeks and get yourself into the world party"Original lyrics from #WorldParty by #TheWaterboys (#MikeScott, #KarlWallinger).

The Waterboys, This is the Sea, 1985 on Ensign / Chrysalis
This was the third studio album from The Waterboys, produced by Mike Scott and Karl Wallinger with John Brand and Mick Glossop. Includes one of my favorite Waterboys songs “The Whole of the Moon” but the entire album is wonderful.
It’s a bit hard to see in the photos but the Waterboys emblem / logo is imprinted on the cover as kind of glossy mask.
My copy is a 1986 reissue on Chrysalis labels – in the UK it came out on Ensign, which was sold to Chrysalis in 1984 – but it was also released in 1985 in the US on Island Records labels. Via Slipped Disc at a Mill No. 5 record fair.

The Waterboys, Fisherman’s Blues, 1988 on Chrysalis / Ensign
The fourth studio LP from Mike Scott, Steve Wickham, Anthony Thistlehwaite, Trevor Hutchinson, Peter McKinney et al. Marked a bit of a shift toward Irish and Scottish music, but including covers of Van Morrison’s “Sweet Thing” and (briefly) “This Land is Your Land.”
My copy – a Carrollton Georgia US pressing from 1988 – via Vinyl Destination in Lowell. I’m pretty certain I had a copy of this in the 80s but who knows where it ended up – and maybe it was on cassette?

The Waterboys, Out of All This Blue, 2017 on BMG
Mike Scott, the creative force behind The Waterboys, has continued to make interesting music and evolve their sound – here incorporating more contemporary pop sounds. It’s a double album, with a third record of “blue variations.” Some of the tracks have lots of instrumentation (strings, brass, overdubs) and some seem to be recorded on the fly with just guitar or piano and drum machine with Scott singing solo.
Among guests, there some fiddle via Steve Wickham (who played the violin on “Sunday Bloody Sunday”), brass and string arrangements by Trey Pollard, and bass from Patterson Hood’s dad David Hood.
It’s a big sprawling three record collection but I love it. Still so much talent!
My copy is the 3xLP Deluxe edition, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR.

Fun fact: #MikeScott of #TheWaterboys is my cousin on my maternal grandfather's side. I can totally see the resemblance -- both physically and politically! 😉

"Wrote by #MikeScott after reading #DeeBrown's book. Originally intended for the first #Waterboys album it was inexplicably left off and only appeared subsequently on the 12" single of The big music."
"We're God's chosen people
This and other truths I know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And I drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And I civilized his daughterThe liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into lice
And all those gooks I napalmed
Man, I did it in God's name
When the fools put me on trial I shouted out
I'm not to blame -- I did it for him!
I did it for him!I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apartBury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!"
