Lyrics to All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix: 'There must be some kind of way out of here,' / Said the joker to the thief, / 'There's. Lyrics to 'All Along The Watchtower' by Bob Dylan. There must be some way out of here / Said the joker to the thief / There's too much confusion / I can't get. All Along The Watchtower There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men, they, they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody offered his word, hey No reason to get excited The thief, he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hour's getting late, hey! All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl, hey! (All along the tower) (Beware, oh, beware) All along the watchtower. Scotish humor sometimes translates well to North American (Well. U.S.) tastes and sometimes not. This series of only 6 programes is quite wonderful and amusing and makes that tranlation very well. The premise - a lone military listening post high on a cliff overlooking a small coastal village in far North Scotland manned by an out-of-touch commander, a simple-minded enlisted man and a junior officer with more brains than luck - might seem limited. But the writers managed to come up with a combination of story lines that were individual while still growing on each previous one. Like many programs from the British TV system, it probably could have used an initial run of 10-12 shows in order to get its foot in the door. Six is just not enough for many shows (and sometimes about 5.9 shows too many for others). And the pity is that these 1-series wonders rarely get saved to video and made for sale. ![]() ![]() ![]()
