PRE-ORDER 0STELLA'S DEBUT ALBUM PENDULUM STATE ON GOLD VINYL EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH 0stella.com/pendulum-state-vinyl-pre-order

The Waterboys had an enormous influence on musicians in Ireland. 0Stella grew up watching The Frames play live who integrated fiddle into their rock set just like The Waterboys. The soaring fiddle against.

lyrics

I wish I was a fisherman
Tumbling on the sea
Far away from dry land and its bitter memory
Casting out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearing down on me
Save the starry sky above

With light in my head
You in my arms

I wish I was a breakman on a hurtling fevered train
Crashing a headlong into the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain
With the beating of the sleepers
And the burning of the coal
Watching towns flashing by
In a night that’s full of soul

With light in my head
You in my arms

Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms

And tomorrow I will be loosened
From the bonds that hold me fast
And chains hung around me
Will fall away at last
And on that fine and faithful day
I will take thee in my hands
I will ride on that train
I will be that fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms

Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms
