Golden Earring - Against The Grain Lyrics
Once I dreamt I was falling, like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own
Though we never got to flyin', I was woken by the phone
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
Once I thought I was flyin', had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited, couldn't get back on my feet
Then without a warning, soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playin' honey, let's go get out of here
But we never got to playin', 'cause I passed out, out of fear
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain

Schneekatastrophe 1978/1979. Die Scheibe lief im Partykeller.
fantastic
Great song.
fell in love with this record ... one night in 1980 a good friend of mine and I were parked next to a park in Long Beach California ... there was a thick foggy mist over the grass ... we were a little high and we had just bought this cassette at an actual "Record Store" and we played it all the way through from beginning to end ... every song was engrained into my unconscious where it has stayed ever since ... some of the best "traditional" Americana Rock music ever ... which is pretty cool since they are from Holland :-) ... I still listen to it to this day ... for all you "up and coming" Artists, Writers, Musicians" ... this album is the epitome of TIMELESS ... timeless music grows on the listener with every review of the record ... something that comes naturally ... just always create from your most organic and honest perspective and you will create timeless pieces of music. Cheers Mates!
+ssvoogel me too- i just saw a picture of Ronnie Van Zant from Lynyrd Skynyrd, (from MY home town, ) giving Barry Hay a big KISS on the cheek-
they were label mates on MCA,. and Skynyrd LOVED touring with them-
small small world-
GuitaristPAX j
GuitaristPAX They prefer Netherlands rather than saying Holland.
GuitaristPAX my favourite comment on you tube ever... this album, and this song in particular...the memories...
That is because our country is called The Netherlands.....
very very underated bands,but also 1 of the greatest singers
The solo at 3.10 is not George but Eelco Gelling, who was a Earring member between 1976 and 1978.
Eelco is a legendary (blues)guitarist with Cuby+ Blizzards in Holland.
They compared him with Clapton, Taylor and Green.
Mayall and Morrison asked him in their band.
one of the very best on slide guitar-
"Someone showed a million feathers how to be a bird on their own"...pure poetry. Such brilliant lyrics
geweldig nummer
Very underrated band.
the story of my life
