"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" -

@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

RE: https://mastodon.world/@humanhorseshoes/115798874366518751
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.

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.

"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).

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…
