paroles de chanson The Reel in the Flickering Light - Christy Moore
As
I
was
walking
home
one
evenin'
I
know
this
takes
some
believin'
I
met
a
group
of
creatures
With
the
strangest
lookin'
features
A
poor
old
dove
and
a
worm
in
the
weed
And
a
fine
old
pigeon,
yes
indeed
A
daddy
longlegs
jumpet
sprite
As
he
danced
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
And
the
daddy
longlegs
jumpet
sprite
As
he
danced
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
On
his
thin
and
wispy
spindles
He
was
deft
and
he
was
nimble
His
eyes
were
scientific
And
his
dancing
was
terrific
And
the
rats
and
worms
they
made
a
din
And
the
nettles
in
the
corners
took
it
in
"Oh
God"
says
I,
"Tonight's
the
night"
"We'll
dance
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light"
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
"Oh
God"
says
I
"tonight's
the
night
We'll
dance
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light"
Then
he
looked
at
me
directly
With
a
gaze
that
could
dissect
me
Then
he
asked
me
in
a
whisper
"Have
you
got
any
sisters?"
"Oh
God
almighty"
says
I
to
him
"What
sort
of
a
man
d'you
think
I
am?
I've
only
one
she's
not
your
type
She
wouldn't
dance
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light"
So
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
"I've
only
one
she's
not
your
type
She
wouldn't
dance
a
reel
in
the
flickering
light"
Says
he:
"Does
she
come
from
another
planet?
Does
she
got
a
bee
in
her
bonnet?
Does
she
do
her
daily
duties
You
never
know
we
might
be
suited"
And
the
rats
and
the
worms
began
in
to
laugh
And
some
of
them
started
shufflin'
off
We're
goin'
to
have
some
fun
tonight
Getting
ready
for
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
We're
goin'
to
have
some
fun
tonight
Getting
ready
for
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
I
could
see
he
had
no
scruples
When
I
looked
into
his
pupils
They
were
purple
or
magenta
Like
a
statue
during
lent
I
said
"I'll
get
her
right
away"
"Good
man"
says
he
"now
don't
delay"
We're
going
to
have
some
fun
tonight
And
he
flicked
his
legs
in
the
flickering
light.
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
We're
goin'
to
have
some
fun
tonight
And
he
flicked
his
legs
in
the
flickering
light.
Then
up
stepped
a
red
carnation
And
they
gave
her
an
ovation
She
was
warm
and
enchatin'
As
she
slowly
started
dancin'
And
the
wise
old
pigeon
peeled
his
eye.
And
the
nettles
and
the
weeds
began
to
sigh.
Daddy
longlegs
said
"my-oh-my
Are
we
ready
for
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light?"
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
Daddy
longlegs
said
"my-oh-my
Are
we
ready
for
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light?"
She
was
gentle,
she
was
charmin'
And
I
heard
him
call
her
"darlin'
He
was
graceful
as
a
whisper
On
his
delicate
legs
of
silver
And
the
rats
and
worms
were
still
as
mice
And
the
poor
old
pigeon
said
"That's
nice"
As
shimmering
there,
ah,
the
lovely
bride
As
they
danced
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
As
shimmering
there,
ah,
the
lovely
bride
As
they
danced
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
Oh
round
we
go,
heel
to
the
toe
As
shimmering
there,
ah,
the
lovely
bride
As
they
danced
to
the
reel
in
the
flickering
light
