Can I believe my ears?
is this really you?
Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
watching the winners go through
Why do you hang back now?
why d'you hesitate?
You fires don't burn
for he who waits
Out of all of the people
that I ever knew
If one should have made it
it should have been you!
I know who I'm looking for
but I don't believe my eyes
The sight of you with your head hung low
is a sick, sad suprise
Why do you hang back now?
why d'you hesitate?
How dare you throw it all away then tell me
aw man it must be fate
Out of all of the people
that I ever knew
There had to one I could believe in
and it should have been you!
A gift that dies is a tragic thing
and it happens all the time
But a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell is the
worst of stupid crimes!
I saw you hang back now!
I watched you hesitate!
You're a well respected man, but bullshit!
you could've been great!
Out of all the people
I ever knew
There should have been one
and it should have been you!
I spent my whole life
looking for someone like you!
The lyrics IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU of THE WATERBOYS is also present in the album The waterboys (1983)
The Waterboys sono un gruppo musicale scozzese fondato nel 1983 dal cantautore e musicista Mike Scott. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una frase presente nella canzone "The Kids" dell'album di Lou Reed "Berlin". Il sound dei The Waterboys ha attraversato diverse fasi, influenzato dalle collaborazioni con diversi artisti nel corso degli anni. Inizialmente si sono distinti per un rock energico e melodico, poi hanno esplorato sonorità folk irlandesi con l'album di successo "Fisherman's Blues" (1988), considerato uno dei capolavori del genere. Successivamente, il gruppo ha abbracciato un sound più intimo e introspettivo, caratterizzato da influenze folk rock. Dopo una pausa nel 1993, The Waterboys si sono riuniti nel 2000 e continuano a registrare e esibirsi con successo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "The Whole of the Moon", "Fisherman's Blues", "How Long Will I Love You" e "A Girl Called Johnny".
