The Waterboys



Who was the knacker on here that rewrote the lyrics for the SMB version? Something about bringing scimitars and swords through the turnstiles? You can't even get a nail clipper through man.

Disco :lol:

I pictured a trophy
Mick held in his hands
I had flashes
But he saw then plan
I wondered out on the pitch for hours
While you stayed in the dressing room
I saw the goal
You saw the whole of the game
The whole of the game

You were there at the turnstiles
With Mick at your side
You stretched for the fans
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the game!

I was defeated
While you filled the stands
I was dumbfounded by truths
Your team are crap
I saw the rain-logged pitch
You saw the bowl
I saw the Goal
You saw the whole of the game!

I spoke about wins
You just knew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you just thought
I saw the goal
You saw the whole of the game
The whole of the game!

With a card in his pocket
and the goal in his aim
Arca climbed on the ladder
and he knows how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the game!
The whole of the game!

Defenders and strikers
the fans and the tewards,
Trumpets, airhorns, and more
Wide right, full of tears,
Flag, hugs and group cheers
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Arca climbed on the ladder
With the wind his sails
He shot like a comet
Blazing a trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the game!

Felt compelled to post for the first time for about 4 years, after hearing a song in my headphones today whilst running, that triggered a memory and made me laugh out loud.
The Whole Of The Moon for SMBers with good memory.

The like is for The Waterboys not the song. Fantastic live band but TWotM isn't among my favourites.

Why what happened to him?

Great band like. Saw them live at Leeds University 1989? Their comeback with Fisherman’s Blues but I liked the previous album This Is The Sea better. They poised to follow U2 into world domination but instead Scott dissolved the band and went on a massive sesh round Ireland and came back with his folk band.
