Happy End movie - The Bilbao Song lyrics
rate me<br>
Bill's be all in Bilbao, Bilbao, Bilbao,<br>
Was the most fantastic place I've ever known.<br>
For just a dollar you'd get all you wanted,<br>
All you wanted, all you wanted<br>
Of whatever kind of joy you called your own.<br>
But if you had been around to see the sun<br>
Well I don't know you might not like for you to see<br>
The stools at the bar were damp with rye<br>
On the dancefloor the grass grew high,<br>
Through the roof the moon was shining green<br>
And the music really gave you some return on what you paid<br>
Hey Joe, play that old song they always played.<br>
That ol' Bilbao<br>
Down were we used to go<br>
Da da da da da ...<br>
I can't remember the words ...<br>
Da da da da da da<br>
It's so long ago.<br>
I don't know if it would have brought you joy or grief but<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
Beyhond belief.<br>
Bill's be all in Bilbao, Bilbao, Bilbao,<br>
Came a day the end of May in '98<br>
Four guys from Bristol came with sacks of coal dust,<br>
Sacks of coal dust, sacks of coal dust<br>
And the time they showed us all was really great.<br>
But if you had been around to see the sun<br>
Well I don't know you might not like what you'd've seen.<br>
The brandy bottles smashing through the air<br>
And the chairs flying everywhere<br>
Through the roof the moon's still shining green<br>
And those fog eyes all went going crazy with their pistols blazing<br>
high,<br>
"Think you can stop 'em ? Well, go ahead and try!"<br>
That ol' Bilbao<br>
Down were we used to go<br>
Da da da da da da...<br>
Who remembers the words ?<br>
Da da da da da da<br>
Something with love in it.<br>
I don't know if it would have brought you joy or grief but<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
Beyond belief.<br>
Bill's be all in, Bilbao, Bilbao, Bilbao,<br>
Now they've cleaned it up and made it middle class<br>
With potted palms and aspree<br>
Very bourgeois, very bourgeois<br>
Just another place to put your ass,<br>
But if you could come around to see the fun<br>
Well, I don't know, you might not find it such a strain,<br>
They've cleaned up all the pools of broken glass,<br>
On parquet floors you can't grow grass,<br>
They've shut the green moon out because of rain<br>
And the music makes you cringe now when you think of what you paid<br>
Hey Joe, play that ol' song they always played;<br>
That ol' Bilbao<br>
Down where we used to go<br>
That ol' Bilbao<br>
Casting its golden glow<br>
That ol' Bilbao moon<br>
Love never laid me low<br>
That ol' Bilbao<br>
Why does it hurt me so ?<br>
I don't know if it would have brought you joy or grief but<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
It was fantastic<br>
Beyond belief.<br>
<br>
