The Waterboys - Going Back To Glasters lyrics

I first played the pyramid stage Back in 1984 (karl and kev, barv on ba** / 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 ba*tard 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
