bilbao song

Singer:faithfull, marianne

bill's beer hall in bilbao

bilbao

bilbao

was the most fantastic place i've ever known

for just a dollar you'd get all you wanted

all you wanted

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

hey joe

play that old song they always played

that ol' bilbao

down where we used to go

who remembers the words

it's so long ago

i don't know if it would have brought you joy or grief but

it was fantastic

it was fantastic

it was fantastic

beyond belief

bill's beer hall in bilbao

bilbao

bilbao

came a day the end of may in 1908

four guys from bristol came with sacks of coal dust

sacks of coal dust

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!"
