Great observation Jesspra.

No, but that is exactly who I thought it was when I first heard James vocalist Tim Booth.
However, the Water Boys were fronted by Mike Scott.

Both bands, James and The Waterboys existed at the same time.

Both are great!

 

Me too!  And they both give me chills.....Fisherman Blues a Waterboys high point for me!

Uh...yeah, I have. This was meant as a light-hearted observation, not a scathing critizism - I guess that didn't come across im my original post.

BTW, this song is a solid 9.

Loved these guys, my favorite band for much of the '90s.

It took me a few years to finally decide, but I consider Laid to be the best album of 1993.

Just heard this for the first time. Very nice. The unexpected chorus makes it for me.

Sublime, I loved this song since I first heard it and would also really recommend Tim Booth's solo stuff. I'm getting a bit old to have a favorite songs or so I thought.

Has anyone ever noticed the error in these lyrics?
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on theconcrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"

If the boy is holding up the aerial, he should be calling for lightning, not thunder.

 
Uh... ever hear of poetic license?

Yes. Or if it had an ending instead of droning along to a fade out.
