I hadnt heard this song for at least 15years!!! When I heard it today the nostalgia and inosence of my youth came back to me like a hard smack in the face!!!
So many songs and shows from you I've enjoyed. I am partial to 'The return of Jimi Hendrix' and if that is ever posted/played live... ... ... Now there is a... ... ... 'n accomplishment. What a 'tune'. People, check it out. The 'Return of Jimi Hendrix' by the Waterboys. Mike Scott, you and yours have accomplished what you and yours unknowingly set out to do. Thx Mike Scott and the WATERBOYS. Love you all. Truly.
I saw them in Oxford last year and I was utterly stunned. Mike was running around the stage playing guitar like it was sat on his lap! He is a fabulous musician.
I worked at Ghent manufacturing in 88 when this was released, Lebanon, ohio. Man great music like this made me feel good to have to get up in the mornings , and have to go to work! 97x was still on the air then! A local college station! Im 44 now, and still love it!!
ive just recently discoverd the waterboys thanks to my uncle and i think they are awsome this song is the best the words are so true "the world is in trouble , everybodys scared the lanlords are frowning the cupboards are bare people are scrambling like dogs for a share its true and its hard , but its nothing compared to what we do to each other "
this will be played on vinly,like treasure in years to come!, one of my most favorite records EVER, !! THE lyrics/melody/arrangments/pace-EVERYTHING IS RIGHT ABOUT THIS RECORD,this really is a classic+ awesome LOUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i heard this song at a pig roast in devon about 17 years ago. every time i play it i can still smell that pig.. in a good way you understand. lots of hay bails. real beer. good people. and no work in the morning.."some things are so worth rembering..
I'm the most macho dood you'll ever meet and this never fails to make me cry for joy/sadness/benign neutrality of the sense of it all.

Seven minutes of pure class! One of their best but so under-rated.

Considering the title of this song, I find this a really erotically charged song. Maybe that's the point. Fabulous!
