Going back to Glasters Lyrics

I first played the pyramid stage back in nineteen-eighty-four
Karl and Kev, Barv on bass and Antoman made four
I stayed up all night, wide awake, wearing a mile-wide grin
Digging the three day city and all that grooved within

Played a storm in eighty-six, felt like we were kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins, sure bust 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 walking tall
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall, walking tall
I'm goin back to Glasters
Can't go any faster
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall

Next time was eighty-nine with the Raggle Taggle band
We were jamming jigs and reels in a backstage transit van
I wore a wedding suit, sang "When Ye Go Away"
Sharon Shannon's accordion was the soundtrack of the day

And I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall, walking tall
I'm going back to Glasters
Can't go any faster
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall

Five years later I returned - a different man of course
Guested with the boy McNabb and the mighty Crazy Horse
Cranked up the red Les Paul, let the bastard rip
I'm coming back next year for sure - I might even be hip !

And I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall, walking tall
I'm goin back to Glasters
Can't go any faster
I'm goin back to Glasters walking tall
