The Waterboys - I Can See Elvis

[@POLDRO]

One of the greatest bands, lead singers and lyric writers of their era. There is celebrity and then there is talent and we should never allow marketing to manipulate, confuse or marry the two. The Waterboys, art by talent.

Mike is a wonderful person. I treasure him like a long lost brother.

[@firetarrasque4667]

Mike Scott has definitely lost his mind by this point, but he's also one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard. Also, a poet. The man is a poet.

[@LindaHobby1]

Happy that The Waterboys are still creating great music!!!!! :)

[@tColorsinspacerecordings]

yes

I can see Elvis Skinny like he was back in '57 Razor quiffed and leather squeezed Sideburns flickering in the breeze That blows across the veils of heaven I can see Elvis Throned like a king astride a golden Harley Smoking a reefer he just rolled Full of Acapulco Gold With Hendrix, Dean and Marley. I can see Elvis Prowling like a cat across a funky bandstand Keith Moon behind him banging drums Charlie Parker all thumbs John Lennon doing handstands I can see Elvis Talking philosophy and law with Joan of Arc and Plato Quizzing Shakespeare on his plays Showing Crazy Horse and Marvin Gaye How to dance the mashed potato I can see Elvis High and low and high and low and high he'shunting Looking for a special prey who only just arrived up here today Break out the bunting I can see Elvis He's writing songs for Donald In a little leather journal And he revolved the words he wrote "I'm gonna slit the throat of that skinflint the Colonel!" I can see Elvis I can see Elvis I can see Elvis I can see Elvis I can see Elvis I can see Elvis Elvis! Elvis!

[@imapikachuloveme]

My taxi driver was playing this during the ride, and it was so good I didn’t even start a conversation like I normally would! He put on another and that was me hooked, it’s so nice to find such good songs in random moments. ❤️

I saw Elvis today , I looked and I saw , As I closed my eyes for seconds I wished him "Happy Birthday" , On opening my eyes he was gone . I'll see him again someday .

sempre grandissimi

[@jonathanstedman5197]

I have seen Elvis live in Las Vegas in August 1971. I live near Swanage & have an 80 year oldphone box in my garden with a six foot statue of Elvis in it, which fools some of the tourists.

[@TheGregRoxx]

Great one!

[@GlenQuagmireful]

Great homage to the "King of Rock n Roll". The song puts Elvis into the proper context, people tend to compare him to the "Beatles" or Michael Jackson, when he should be in the pantheon with Joan of Arc, Plato or Shakespeare.

[@TonyEgg93]

Inspiration

[@kristrznadel1494]

Great song 😀

[@stephencrockett1277]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@marcinrzepeckiEU]

I can see Elvis too!

[@WilliamFiler]

Wondering who plays the classic guitar solo, maybe Mike.

[@erceg79]

Those type of things are often written in the credits of an album, in the small book with the lyrics it's sometimes a bit hidden or written very small

[@adrianos8925]

I love The Waterboys more than you can imagine and I respect them deeply, but this is the same song as 'The Drifter' by Green on Red! I won't take anything away from The Waterboys, I mean still a great song :D

[@jonathandcallan]

Yikes !!! U weren't kidding
