Golden Earring - Violins Lyrics
And the classic way is still on play
Violins bitter sweet
String quartet, pass around the hat
You broke my heart, don't you hurt my head
We took a walk around the block to digest
The grand finale
A street-music man with shades and cane
Played the fiddler insane
For a case load of spare change
And the smiles of people passing
Between morning paper sins and waves of violins
It said they found him dead
His bow had made him bad friends
Hooked on high speed energy
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Cats gut pumpin' adrenalin
Warm blooded, cold hearted violins
See 'm live tonight in the city
And the classic way, still on play
Violins bitter sweet
String quartet, pass around the hat
You broke my heart, don't you hurt my head
I've gotta find a little peace of mind
Cause the real thing is a mean thing
I guess nobody knew, the Barcelona Zoo
Has an albino monkey, that can trigger the mood
And provoke monkey motions
So when the shit flies high
Through the Barcelona sky
The crowd stands by, a cheering
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Hooked on high speed energy
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Cats gut pumpin' adrenalin
Warm blooded, cold hearted violins
See them lives tonight in the cityI can hear 'm playin'
Kind a light 'n neat
All the gals 're swayin'
The guys are in for meat
It's all cute 'n rosy
Till the needle hits a crack
Listen to that screech repeatin'
Watch the flags go slack
Listen to that screech repeatin'
Watch the flags go slack

Golden Earring Violins Comments
Sounds like the stones
Aries Gemini Pisces the Stones weren’t talented enough to make something as great as this. What an insult to GE!
what a shame Aries!
Hell no. No 3 chords specialist like the Stones will ever match this highly skilled muscicians.
cats gut pumping adrenaline. I used to love this album. reminds me of shows at the old Santa Monica civic auditorium
schon seit jahren nimmer gehört, mir war nur noch der titelsong und "facedancer" im ohr. tja, früher hat man im gegensatz zu heute die lp aufgelegt und nach 20 minuten umgedreht um die rückseite zu hören. ist alles ein stück weit verloren gegangen durch den ganzen digitalkram. in den 70ern war ich riesiger Earring fan und mag sie auch heute noch total.
Fodastic II!!!
Dear all of you out there!! Moontan is my favorite, but with the great Robert Jan Stips this became a truly ff. beautiful album. *****
My favorite earring album for sure. Very underrated. To bad they are only known in this day for 2 songs. Thanks top 40
Spuff Vermon , they are awesome & very underrated, all through the years; heard radar of course even was a 12 year old , and bought the album; & bought every one that came out until after “ cut “; maybe the fact that they never tour in the us has maybe killed their played on radio here ; my favorite is actually “ switch” which changed a lot of musical perspectives of mine - anyways, they made a lot of life good for me
Yep. American radio still sucks. 'HHaving My Baby' needed airplay over some real music
Absolutely my favorite album also I agree with the comments you made I still have this LP radio totally ignores it this may sound kind of strange but I think music sounded much better and had a Cause before the USSR dissolved just had more substance
I just can,t believe this group is so intense and as a lot of great lyrics that is not heard too much around the world let alone just in Europe. Very creative I must say, The band goes back all the way in the early sixties and has not broken up.
One of my favorites overflowing with creativity
Great Album!!!
echt goed !
Top Sound
Quite funky ,that Fender Rhodes Piano
great track
Hi Wijnand,
check out some other great tracks of these legens here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0zGLXNznZs&list=PLjbvsiip4vFe8zgmzxN4E1jLy1L1V08b8
Barry Hay at its best "...when the shit flies high through the Barcelona sky..." Brilliant.
Joost Van der Valk Ronald koeman
Barry the onliner king.
The Esprit of the Earring.
The breakdown at the end is absolutely beautiful.
I'm happy I found this channel, now I can listen and be confident that the boyz are getting paid rather than pirated. This is Not my favorite GE LP, but I can see how the tone of each one of their albums is different and I really love the band. My fav's are Long Blond Animal, Roxanne, and stuff like Switch and Moontan (of course.)
MoviesPlus MetroFilmFestival your a girl
Masters!! Excelente album. One of the more faster bass ever I hear! Great!! 5-4
FAB.............''
Ilovetheir older stuff like this where the jam at the end of their songs. Now its just 3 or 4 min and thats it. Still love em though
Rip the music and you have a total song from a amazing album and group who you can call in one breath with the greatest bands of all times. Still love them playing live whereever
Beauty.
Lumayann ..... Seven tears d best ....!!!
OMG, awesome. Have the vinyl tucked away somewhere. Very underrated gem from the 70s
Jeff Dankert I have it too and you are right--this was incredibly underrated and I never get tired of listening to it
I jus picked up To the Hilt, Switch, and Moontan on vinyl. All 3 really great albums! Hard to pick a favorite!
ESTE DISCO É MUITO BOM.
@ronvdhoeven wrong, The Amazing Stroopwaffels
greatest Dutch band ever. Still kicking ass.
This an awesome album... just another example of how underated & under appreciated Golden Earring were....
used to be my favourite in the 70's>>>still good>>>Hawkwind better
Second favourite song on album after "Facedancer". Great and unique lyricism on this album, as on Switch.
love the guys expression on the album cover-
Ik herinner me dat vanaf 5:22 op de achterkant van een singletje stond. Ik wist niet dat er nog een heel nummer vóór stond! Jammergenoeg staat het er niet helemaal op; het nummer 'dooft' juist zo mooi uit! Hopelijk wordt het er nog een keer vanaf 5:22 op gezet en dan mét het einde!
