Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

'And A Bang On the Ear'
From the Fishermans Blues album.

ease. This song really flows once you get into
the rhythm. The same chords and progression are
used throughout.

[Verse 1]
G G/A G C G D
Lindsay was my first love she was in my class
G G/A G C G D
I would have loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask
C G C G D
The fullness of my feeling was never made clear
G G/A G C G G/A G
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 2]
Nora was my girl when I first was in a group
I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup
Now shes living in australia working for an auctioneer
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 3]
Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool
I fell for her one summer on the road to Liverpool
I thought it was forever but it was over in a year (oh dear)
But I give her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 4]
The home I made with Bella became a house of pain
We weathered it together bound by a ball and chain
Is started up in fife, and ended up in tears (oh dear)
But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 5]
Krista was a rover from canada she hailed
We crossed swords in San Francisco we both lived to tell the tale
I dont know now where she is oh but if I had her here
I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear
[Verse 6]
So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping and sense the dream that does unfold (like gold)
You to me are treasure, you to me are dear
So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
