Celtic Symphony Lyrics

It was far across the sea, when the devil got a hold of me
He wouldn't set me free, so he kept me soul for ransom
Na na na na na...

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town
I've sailed this world around and round
He's the meanest thing that I have found
In all me days of wandering
Na na na na na....

Here we go again, we're on the road again
We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise

We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down
I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!
Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic
Graffiti on the wall.............................

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA

We went thru each jungle deep
For the paradise that we did seek
Twas no trip for the weak
We're waltzing with the natives
Around in circles every way
He turned to me and he did say
"I think you're leading me astray
I want your soul, me boyo!"
Na na na na na

Here we go again, we're on the road again
We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down
I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!
Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic
Graffiti on the wall.............................

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
