Horslips: The Man Who Built America

Take the sounds of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues, throw it into a blender, and the result will be 1970s Irish band Horslips.



Leave it to the Irish to write so eloquently about America in "The Man Who Built America."

See him driving those golden nails
that hold together the silver bars
That one day gonna take us to the stars
cos he's the man who built America

See him walking the golden wire
a million miles from his starting place
and see the world reflected in his face
cos he's the man who built America

Good news. Horslips is getting back together, with December concerts in Belfast and Dublin.

A million miles from their starting place...
