I first played the pyramid stage
back in 1984
(Karl and Kev, Barv on bass
/
Karl on keys, Kev on drums)
and Anto man made four
I stayed up all night wide awake
wearing a mile-wide grin
Diggin` the transient city
and all that grooved within
Played a storm in `86
felt like we were the kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins
sure broke a lot of strings
We played "Purple Rain", "Medicine Bow"
and "The Healing has Begun"
I climbed the tor at the break of dawn
just to salute the sun
And I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall
Yes I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall, walkin` tall
I`m goin` back to Glasters, I can`t go any faster
I`m goin` back to Glasters, that`s all
The next time was `89
with the raggle-taggle band
We were jammin` jigs and reels
in a backstage transit van
I wore a wedding suit
I sang "When you go away"
Sharon Shannon`s accordion
was the soundtrack of the day
And I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall
Yes I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall, walkin` tall
I`m goin` back to Glasters, I can`t go any faster
I`m goin` back to Glasters, that`s all
Five years later I returned
a different man of course
I guested with the boy McNabb
and the mighty Crazy Horse
I cranked up the red Les Paul
and I let the bastard rip
I`m coming back this year for sure,
I might even be hip
And I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall
Yes I`m goin` back to Glasters walkin` tall, walkin` tall
I`m goin` back to Glasters, I can`t go any faster
I`m goin` back to Glasters, that`s all
