Postpunkklassieker du jour: The earth only endures

Kale, bijna lege instrumentatie en stem (die herinnert aan Echo & the Bunnymen, de stijl voor sommige groepen in die tijd).
Ecologistisch lied verwijzend naar Indianen zonder ze echt te noemen.

The old man said
the earth only endures
You spoke truly
you were right

The old man said
the earth only endures
You spoke truly
you were right

Only the mountains live forever
only the earth endures
only the earth endures
only the earth endures
only the earth endures

The old man said
the earth only endures
You spoke truly
you were right
you were right
you were right
Ah forever!
you were right
you were right
you were right


The Waterboys, 12″, 1984.
Om met een bevriend stamhoofd te spreken: Howgh! (“You seem to like it when I say that…”)
