The Riverboat Song (Live) Lyrics

Moseley Shoals (Live in Birmingham)  by  Ocean Colour Scene

Song   ·   4:43   ·   English

© 2011 Nyquest Productions / Ocean Colour Scene

I see double up ahead Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove And frees an eagle instead It′s more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up the road Like the things you found in love are by the way And like to cheat on your soul Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control Before you lie on your bed It's more or less the same as the things that you said Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red Anyway for all the things you′ve seen tell me when will the river run green And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars And his double It′s more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up ahead Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red I see double - that′s my trouble.

About Riverboat Song

"The Riverboat Song" is a song by British band Ocean Colour Scene. The song is heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks", from which it takes its main riff and a number of lyrics. The song is notable in that it is in 6/8 swing time, and not the more common 4/4 time normally used in rock music. The song was popularised by Radio 1 DJ Chris Evans, who played it frequently on his radio shows and to introduce guests on his television programme TFI Friday. As a result, having been released in February 1996, it reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart, paving the way for the success of the next two singles, "You've Got It Bad" (7) and "The Day We Caught the Train" (4) and the album Moseley Shoals.   more »

Tampa celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with River O’ Green

T ampa kicked off St. Patrick’s Day weekend on Saturday with an ode to the Irish, turning the Hillsborough River a deep shade of green between the Cass Street and Kennedy bridges.

The city renewed the tradition that was started in 2012 by former Mayor Bob Buckhorn by dyeing the waterway for the River O’ Green Fest in Curtis Hixon Park.

The festival drew revelers with live music, kids activities and plenty of beer. New this year was the addition of the Tampa Rough Riders parade , a tradition that for nearly 30 years had been held in Ybor City as an evening parade. It will begin at 5 p.m. in downtown Tampa.

Though the practice turning the river green has been going on for more than a decade, some critics have called on the city to end it . They worry that the dye could be causing ecological harm and that it sends the wrong message about how we treat our natural resources.
