    "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 streak

    Get 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 streak

    Get 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 world

    Party (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 back

    Seven 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"

  4. @humanhorseshoes Excellent! The next time you see him, tell him you met someone on Mastodon who wore out the CDs for “This Is the Sea” and “Fisherman’s Blues,” both just stunningly good work from the lyrics on up. 😁 #TheWaterboys

  5. RE: mastodon.world/@humanhorseshoe

    Great to see #TheWaterboys being covered. It’s amazing that “This Is the Sea” (the original home of this song) and “Fisherman’s Blues” didn’t earn them a much wider audience.

  6. Listening to The Waterboys, "Rips From The Cutting Room Floor"

    Companion album to "Life, Death and Dennis Hopper" - outtakes and extras. The GenAI artwork is off-putting though.

  7. "Well it's got nothing to do with anything that is real you just believe and it's true
    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).

  8. Something to look forard to in these bleak times, The Waterboys announce Fishermans Blues reveu mini tour next summer, with Steve Wickham back in the band, and Steve Earl joining for these gigs. Band Pre order via patreon Tuesday for Glasgow. #TheWaterboys

  9. Look what turns 40 today …

    ... This Is The Sea from the British-Irish folk-rock band The Waterboys. Many call it the tops of the band's early "Big Music" sound, which features a mystical and epic style driven by frontman Mike Scott. The album is most famous for the hit single "The Whole of the Moon." Listen to This Is The Sea by The Waterboys on Amazon Music ... #thewaterboys #thisisthesea #mikescott #80smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #80srock #rock #rockmusic

  10. @MaQuest Fun fact: My distant cousin, Mike Scott of #TheWaterboys, spent some time at #Findhorn -- and found lots of inspiration there!

    #AGirlCalledJohnny by #TheWaterboys

    Which was written about #PattiSmith. (Fun fact: I was voted "Most likely to become Patti Smith in high school in the 1980s). 2nd fun fact: Mike Scott (of The Waterboys) is my distant cousin.
