Biografía:
The Waterboys es una banda formada en 1983 por Mike Scott. La composición de la misma ha girado siempre en torno a músicos de Escocia e Irlanda. Las sedes de la misma se han alternado entre Dublín, Spiddal, Nueva York y Findhorn. Su música ha pasado desde una mezcla de folk Celta hasta el rock'n'roll, siempre con un estilo múy personal otorgado por el talento de su líder Mike.

The song riffs around an E E7
[Verse 1}
E
Anto took me down to Whistler's place
It was like a scene from a dream
D A
Tarantulas, drapes, magic mushroom cakes
E
Sharks hanging from the beams
E
Dave Ruffian was there with a sad-eyed girl
And the son of Ringo Starr
D
It was a night like any other, man
A A7 A6sus4
At the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead Bar
[Verse 2}
E
Four beer-bellied roadies from Uriah Heep
Were comparing stomach tattoos
D A
Two had Satan, one had Tam Paton
E
One had a belt-shaped bruise
E
In a spotlit corner a famous DJ
Was showing a starlet his scars
D
Yeah it was all for one and one for all
A A7 A6sus4
At the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, at the Hammerhead Bar
[Verse 3}
E
Three groupies were gargling umbrella drinks
Under the eye of the Ox
D A
The first said to the second about the third
E
"She's as square as a fucking box"
E
Viv Stanshall turned up on cue
With a pickled skull in a jar
D
There was always something intriguing to do
A A7 A6sus4
At the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, at the Hammerhead Bar
[Verse 4}
E
The local MP, a Tory grandee
E
Sir Bufton Fairbairn-Smart
D A
Who dressed like a cross between Robert The Bruce
E
And Napoleon Bonaparte
E
Was busy murdering Billy Joel's
"Just The Way You Are"
D
It was business as usual, sunny boys
A A7 A6sus4
At the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, at the Hammerhead Bar
[Verse 5}
E
On the stroke of midnight Whistler said
N/C
"Let us now toast the deceased!"
D A
And he sank his snout in a stained-glass keg
E
Of alcohol and yeast
E
Nine Lithuanian dancing girls
Each sucking a fat cigar
D
Jitterbugged along the beer-strewn top
A A7 A6sus4
Of the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, of the Hammerhead Bar
[Verse 6}
E
Those days are gone, those dancing days
E
Of bacchanal, of drink
D A
Whistler sleeps with mermaids
E
Groupies are extinct
E
The famous DJ is doing time
For acts lewd and bizarre
D
And only dust remains, boys,
A A7 A6sus4
Of the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead, the Hammerhead Bar
E
Of the Hammerhead Bar
E
Of the Hammerhead Bar
E
