Love The Waterboys and today discovered these two tracks via The Rockenteurs in a conversation with Mike Scott.
🔗🎵 Hopper’s On Top (Genius) by The Waterboys
🔗🎵 Andy (A Guy Like You) by The Waterboys
If these two are any example of the other 23 tracks - it is going to ROCK.
TIL that Buffy Sainte-Marie wrote 🎵 Universal Soldier - a song that for some reason (maybe because I only ever heard his version and it was a relatively big hit in the UK) … had always assumed Donovan wrote. 🤦♂️

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
