Going Back To Glasters Lyrics - Waterboys

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
