The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group.

You say she's fun to be with
but there's three words you omit
you don't wanna get hurt, I know,
and that's why you won't commit
you pretend to be untouchable
but we both know that's a bluff
to keep you on the right side of heartbreak 
and the wrong side of love

There's a shadow moving through you, 
a shadow someone cast
I don't know what happened to you 
in the corners of your past 
and just when it seems you're softening 
out comes the grand rebuff 
that keeps you on the right side of heartbreak
the wrong side of love

You're half-crazy with desire
you crave a love to touch your soul
but you hide your inner fire 
with impeccable control
Yes, something must have hurt you, 
something hard & tough
that keeps you on the right side of heartbreak 
and the wrong side of love

The playing out of karma 
can be slow, it can be brisk
but nothin's gonna happen 
unless you take a risk
I didn't mean to make a speech, 
I'm just sayin' off the cuff
you're on the right side of heartbreak
and the wrong side of love
