Holy Grail Lyrics
oh, so high
Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail
Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend lifetime trying to get your hands
On the holy grail
But have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail
All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far home, so how were we to know
There be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the holy grail
We were full of beans
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die
You know I, I've been searching for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low
But I've nowhere else to go
There's nowhere else to go
I have followed orders
God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail
Oh yeah I'm a fool for the holy grail
I was in the biggest army the world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend lifetime trying to get your hands
On the holy grail
We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail
We were so far home, so how were we to know
There be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the holy grail
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low
But I've nowhere else to go
God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail

This is one of the most played Australian songs ever. Often used in football ads. Great song. Also sung a lot by druk men in their late 30's early 40's. (ie my father)
U dont have the right to call anyone inbred. R U forgetting that you live in tasmania
Sounds like an adventure song, with the guy realising that he is explorer but because of this he can't go back to the boring everyday existence most people thrive. Living day to day for the 'holy grail'. ie this quote "I've been high and I've been low But I've nowhere else to go There's nowhere else to go "
@squid_8 It is about the Great Crusades.

bloody great song, played alot at footy gam,es and footy adds lol...
yeh, how good is the song aye. An other awsome Australian song. I love it.
yer top aussie song. i think is sort of part of some church histroy by the song with " But have you heard about the great crusade We ran into millions, and nobody got paid." as millions of people were killed trying to win back holy ground with crusades.
go the footy add,makes me wanna get drunk stand in the pouring rain witha football covered in mud and belt out the words again.i did that once it was unbelivable.
mmm great song it would sound fantastic live and loud at a big match or something!
