[danicamornar]

You were here! I envy you!!!

[PrayForWales]

I blame the waterboys for me only ever bothering to learn 4 chords :-D

I love this song, it is simply Immense . . .

[MsAnnestube]

if you'll be HIS enemy??? I'll be YOUR enemy toooo!!!!

[CosmicSpots]

That kicks

[moonmanas]

awesome! Brings back memories of the night thanks for posting..

[thrallofknowing]

Just a few intense boys from Scotland, what can I tell ya?

[japfan40]

Still one of the greatest albums in my collection. Paranoid rejection with added sauce!!!

[theboogeyman1969]

this song was played on Miami Vice in 1987 (season 3) in the episode "Lend Me An Ear." It was in the opening sequence when Crockett & Tubbs were in the boat chasing another boat. Vice was awesome!

[gerfarmer]

Fair play to you, I thought I was the only person to remember this fact.

[truwth]

A fucking gem. Brilliant lyrics. Poetic, paranoid rage. Love it !

[bazadata]

Love the words to this song. It got me through years. Who would have imagined that it epitomomises the tactics queers use? And then you come out the other end and let people decide if it relates to their life? Fuck you Queers. No offence Mike Scott. Nice observation. Their like Tasmanian Devils with Cancer.

[drum253]

What are you saying? Is it jus that your homophobic or am I missing your point???

Why do you think this song is about "queers"??

Dont get what your trying to say??

"Tasmanian devils with cancer!???"

WHAT THE FUCK does that mean?!!! Everyone finds their own interpretation to songs, I know, but Jeez, i've known this song since the day it came out and I have to say I've never heard a wackier or more hateful explanation of what its about? maybe im missing your point.

[bazadata]

You know what amazes me? Google was a question on who wants to be a Millionaire, but I like these words, they describe a village environment.

[GrahamB64]

I first heard this in the Miami Vice episode "Lend me an ear" and it took me years to track it down!

Glad I did though. This and "Fisherman's Blues" are my faves of theirs, but they're all great songs.

[GoodYr1885]

Fantastic song - I will be re-iterating these lyrics to a few people in the next few weeks.....

Waterboys and Mike Scott = the best music

[d4ms]

My first gig - Glasgow Barrowlands - they opened for U2. 8 of them on stage....a beautiful day. What a band - what a talented boy

[balmung1992]

mike scott performed at the barra's awesome whit year wis this

[nri1969]

I dug up the original recording of this on one of those internet jukeboxes in a bar recently. I was with a friend of mine who was 2 years old when this song came out. She flipped. "Holy s***! What the f*** was THAT?" she asked me.

"That," I said, "was pure hostility."

[farcrything]

the waterobys are possible the best scottish bad ever to play, the proclamers are great but their not exactualy my genre they were also great, love you mike!
