I first played the pyramid stage
back in 1984
(Karl and Kev, Barv on bass
/
Karl on keys, Kev on drums)
and Anto man made four
I stayed up all night wide awake
wearing a mile-wide grin
Diggin' the transient city
and all that grooved within
Played a storm in '86
felt like we were the kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins
sure broke a lot of strings
We played "Purple Rain", "Medicine Bow"
and "The Healing has Begun"
I climbed the tor at the break of dawn
just to salute the sun
And I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall
Yes I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to Glasters, I can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to Glasters, that's all
The next time was '89
with the raggle-taggle band
We were jammin' jigs and reels
in a backstage transit van
I wore a wedding suit
I sang "When you go away"
Sharon Shannon's accordion
was the soundtrack of the day
And I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall
Yes I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to Glasters, I can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to Glasters, that's all
Five years later I returned
a different man of course
I guested with the boy McNabb
and the mighty Crazy Horse
I cranked up the red Les Paul
and I let the bastard rip
I'm coming back this year for sure,
I might even be hip
And I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall
Yes I'm goin' back to Glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to Glasters, I can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to Glasters, that's all
The Waterboys are a Scottish rock band formed in 1983 by singer-songwriter and musician Mike Scott. The band's name comes from a line in Lou Reed's song "The Kids" on the album "Berlin". The Waterboys' sound has gone through several phases, influenced by collaborations with different artists over the years. Initially, they were known for their energetic and melodic rock, then they explored Irish folk sounds with the successful album "Fisherman's Blues" (1988), considered a masterpiece of the genre. Subsequently, the band embraced a more intimate and introspective sound, characterized by folk rock influences. After a break in 1993, The Waterboys reunited in 2000 and continue to record and perform successfully. Among the band's most representative songs are "The Whole of the Moon", "Fisherman's Blues", "How Long Will I Love You" and "A Girl Called Johnny".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
