Waterboys, The - Where The Action Is Lyrics






Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is

They say the sweetest victory is in defeat
And you can fool the whole world with just one tweet
My sister could jive, she had money, was cute
Till she got crushed alive under summer's boot

Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is

I wanna hear one song that tells how I feel
Waited all night long for the smell of the real
I saw the thunder bleed, heard the airwaves weep
The champion we need must be still asleep

Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action...

Shadow me honey through the eye of the storm
Hold onto your money and I'll keep you warm
I once knew a man thought he was never wrong
He would argue with every damn word of this song

Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is

I'm goin' up to the front, I'm gonna make my stand
With my feet on a rock that wasn't made by hands
Words of love I heard just a distraction
Because love is not words, honey, love is action

Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is
Let's go baby where the action is
(Where the action is)
Where the action is
(Where the action is)
Where the action is
(Where the action is)
Where the action is
(Where the action is)
Where the action is
(Where the action is)
Where the action is

    Sounds like something Primal Scream would release, so a bit bland and unoriginal.

    unbelievable how last 2 decades succeeded in making good bands play shitty music

    s.... s....

    Yeah maybe but of course this sentence doesn't apply to The Waterboys

  9. D.... ....

    Noise, looks like Jagger he makes a noise to.

  10. �.... �....

    Time for a concert in Tel Aviv... Where the action is!
    After all its been more than 30 years since your last concert here.

  11. S.... N....

    フジロックで観られるのが楽しみ!

  12. Y.... Y....

    I had kind of hoped Oasis or Weezer were still making songs like this, I accidentally rediscovered The Waterboys and I’m really happy.

  13. m.... ....

    After suffering through a long playlist of songs from an Indie station with terrible female singers mostly and songs I don't vibe with................I've struck GOLD. I knew persistence would pay off. The Waterboys huh? Love it!

  14. j.... b....

    Great stuff!!!!!!!!!

  15. g.... p....

    i'll always have a real soft spot for mike scott.
    My parents live in a small town on scotlands north east coast, a few minutes drive from the village Mike Scott lives (or lived?), i spotted him one day on the high street and thanked him for the art he'd created, and it was truly celtic soul music, and he seemed so taken aback, flattered, and a little surprised to be stopped like that.

    It was quite a long time ago now, 15 years or more but i reckon there's a decent chance he'd remember me cos i don't imagine he's been stopped in town too many random guys in their early 20s

  16. J.... P....

    Great Track! Very good vocal and guitar work. Lyrics are great as well. Wow! jamiepalumbo.com

  17. R.... ....

    This is NOT the complete "Deluxe" version of this album. It is MISSING 6 bonus songs. It's all here on You Tube. One must hunt and peck to find all the tunes. GREAT masterpiece of an album. It has a lot of The Waterboys different styles. Listen to the whole album with headphones. It will blow your mind. :)

  47. A.... S....

    Mike - the 20 + album machine is where the action is :D...

  48. T.... O....

    first notes of "long strange golden road" ?

    T.... O....

    @Tom Comerford it's second band I know of where the song that album took the title from is released few years later on one of the next albums. First was Queen and Sheer Heart Attack

    T.... O....

    @Jan Slowhand : You can also add in Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy. This was the title of their fifth album. But the actual song only features on their sixth album Physical Graffiti. To continue the Waterboys theme, if you take the front cover of Led Zep's Physical Graffiti album and the front cover of The Waterboys album Out Of All This Blue, and zoom in on the dustbins, you'll realise both covers were shot at the same location - St. Mark's Place in New York City.

    T.... O....

    @ytfccider Thanks for interesting info. What do you think of The Waterboys new album?

    T.... O....

    @Jan Slowhand New album is excellent. Saw them perform 5-6 tracks from it live in London on Friday night. Mike often runs the Waterboys as a loose collective, but this feels like a really tight band enjoying themselves right now.

    T.... O....

    @ytfcciderYou're absolutely right. I would like to stay them together for longer.As for new album. The only weaker track for me is She Made The Lasses O so 9/10 for me for now. Just listening Piper At The Gates Of Dawn before the sleep I close my eyes and I'm in the other dimension

  49. U.... M....

    Oh it’s Mick Jagger!
    ... with a touch of Sid Vicious

    U.... M....

    You forgot Bono.

  50. P.... D....

    Nice Jagger impersonation...rocking!

    P.... D....

    Wrong !!!!!

    P.... D....

    That's right ---wrong!!!!
    Jagger, c'mon man.

    P.... D....

    if you can't see it, you can't see it. No biggie...

  51. L.... S....

    Superb 🎶🎶🎶🎶

  52. a.... m....

    Great. This rocks! Keep em coming Mike

  53. s.... d....

    Wow! That has stimulated the juices. Brother Paul's "Mighty organ" fighting with some great guitar and super Vocals (ahah).
    The video is great especially the twirly around bits.
    How many sleeps til the 24th May?? =/ Too many

    s.... d....

    and Steve Wickham's violins in the background of course.Brilliant track

    s.... d....

    Paul doesn't mess around.
    I think he loves music more than I do.
    Can you imagine if Paul had been in McCartney's band? (no that's not meant to be a joke, stop!)

    s.... d....

    @Ricardo Cobos Beatles had Billy Preston to be fair

    s.... d....

    Steve's musical inclusion is a "given". I often feel he is not high enough in the mix. Gotta wait til May to find out.

  54. C.... B....

    goddamn, this is gooooooooooooooooooood

  55. K.... K....

    Love it :)

    K.... K....

    Karen, I love you!
