Horslips - You Can't Fool The Beast Lyrics
There has always been great speculation as to the nature of the Brown Bull.In the manuscripts the Bull is referred to as "an Donn Cuailgne". Whilethe word "Donn" means "brown" it is also the name of the ancient Irish Godof the Dead. There is also a related story which tells how two malevolentmagicians take the shape of Bulls and resume a longstanding feud.You can fool the woman - One of these days, you're gonna fool the manCos you've got the insight You can see a world of thingsThey can't understand.You can say you're winning You can count the scoreAnd say you know that they've lost. But you'll end up admitting thatThe price is more than simply counting the cost.Ah yes, they're blind already. They're blind to love, blind to pain,Blind to hope, blind to gain. Ah you can fool them alrightBut can you fool the beast?You can fool the woman Anyone can see you're gonna fool the man.Cos you've ways of knowing. You can tell their pride willmake them blind in the end. And leave them blindly gazing
