bilbao song
Singer:faithfull, marianne
bill's beer hall in bilbao
was the most fantastic place i've ever known
for just a dollar you'd get all you wanted
of whatever kind of joy you called your own
but if you had been around to see the fun
well i don't know you might not like what you'd've seen
the stools at the bar were damp with rye
on the dancefloor the grass grew high
through the roof the moon was shining green
and the music really gave you some return on what you paid
play that old song they always played
i don't know if it would have brought you joy or grief but
bill's beer hall in bilbao
came a day the end of may in 1908
four guys from bristol came with sacks of coal dust
and the time they showed us all was really great
but if you had been around to see the fun
well i don't know you might not like what you'd've seen
the brandy bottles smashing through the air
and the chairs flying everywhere
through the roof the moon's still shining green
and those fog eyes all going crazy with their pistols blazing high
think you can stop 'em? go ahead and try!"
