Such a sad procession
winding down the lane
What a strange impression
was branded on my brain
A band was playing endless mindless
It was like a hooligan's lament
It was dumb but it was timeless
I still wonder what it meant
But whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected over me
"Behold the lights of London"
the skipper said as his hands shook,
his aura eaten by his jealousy
and all the drugs he took
He said "This is the real world, Buddy
Toughen up your ass or it'll break"
I said "I'm not your buddy, Buddy
and your real world is a fake"
And whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected over me
The D.J. took his vengeance
as the weding guests arrive
There was malice in his handshake,
quicksand in his eyes
As he slunk across the courtyard
from far-off I heard a horn
Somewhere in the bleak mid-distance
something beautiful is born
And whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected over me
I stumbled down a street of shadows
a black hallelujah split the night
anarchists and priests were playing stripjack
underneath the crude lamplight
I came upon a weeping soldier
he said "I'm all washed up now hush !"
But when I glanced across his shoulder
he held the royal flush
And whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected over me
I'm still here, I'm still breathing
I'm who I thought I was or just about
I'll be walking down this boulevard
until my legs give out
Thoughts like storms and seas are raging
I know it is a matter of degree
but it's not the world outside that's changing
it's me
And whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected over me
Whatever needs to happen
let it happen, let it be
through all I am protected
grace is effected
over me
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".

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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
