This enthusiastic
folk rock band bubbled up in Edinburgh, Scotland and was founded by suitingly surnamed Mike Scott.
The term 'waterboy' appears in one of the beautiful
songs on the extremely melancholic concept album Berlin, let loose by Lou Reed
in 1973 on an already depressed human race. A piece of text of the song The
Kids serves as evidence:
‘They’re taking her children away
Because of the things that they heard
she had done
The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one
And all of the
drugs she took, every one, every one
And I am the Water Boy
The real game’s not
over here
But my heart is overflowin’ anyway
I’m just a tired man, no words to
say’.

Active: 1983-1993; 2000-present, GBR
