On the night that
Maxton died I fell over The Clyde was full of old Tyres The wind nearly pulled my Breeches off And Ann Kelly She kissed my mouth Fellow hoodlums and Engineers The Union's south And we're all here I'm going up Buchanan Street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer On the last train from St. Enochs I saw the graveyard It looked like our old street People were cheering All the way from Hampden With macaroons and And scarves and rattles Fellow hoodlums and Engineers The Union's south And we're all here I'm going up Buchanan Street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer Billy's a butcher now Always has been And he picks his teeth With old rusty meat hooks And he sends his beef with the bike boys Monday to Saturday Partick to Cowcaddens Fellow hoodlums and Engineers The Union's south And we're all here I'm going up Buchanan Street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer I'm going up Buchanan Street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer |

Send me back all the thing she ever wrote
Tell me secrets of her days when she was young Show me nights when she laughed So innocent I'll be happy Waiting till they come Love the people that she smiled upon Walk with me in streets Where she once stood Say if it could be that we once passed like strangers Long before the love we ever new 'Cause I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again One day I can see us walking Arm and arm in sheltered Kelvin way Talking and tripping and teasing And heading for the best part of the day When your head Falls softly on my pillow No fear will make you cry or turn you grey And we will wake So early in the morning Knowing you'll never Never Never go away 'Cause I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again Until you Rest me in your swaying arms again In your arms In your swaying arms Your swaying arms Hold me Bless me now Hold me Hold me now Hold me hold me hole me In your arms Your swaying arms Your swaying arms Hold me |

I will love you when the morning is ascending
I will love you when the moon is riding high I will love you when we only have pretending When our home becomes a cover from the sky Well my eyes have seen the dust and then the ashes And the lowland and whit |

The day that Jackie jumped the jail
The day that Jackie jumped the jail There was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway And thirty thousand fireworks took the piss out of Princes Street Gardens So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morning The sun will be up again And you you will be loved again After the sausages and cream of the barley There was aframe or two to be had at the "Imperial" on Mitchell Street Five years ago he'd buried her memory with a snooker cue on a daft wee student's head Still he remembered everything The sun will be up again And you you will be loved again And the wind And the rain And the wind And the rain Falls around I don't know I don't know Ooh yeah Ooh yeah As he walked down Hope Street he thought about the last time they'd been together He'd been wearing a green parka and he'd bought her yellow stilettos That squeezed her toes He'd told her the whole story as she took him into the wee penn behind Sloan's And let him feel her all over For the last time Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him up The sun will be up again And you You You You will be loved You will be loved You will be loved again And the wind And the rain And the wind And the rain Falls around All over this town Ooh yeah Ooh yeah Falls around All over this town All over this town Falls around All over All over Ooh yeah All over |

Oh the rush hour is over
And the night has been trying To drive us and chase us away But we're lovely and drunk now And our laugh dosen't Rattle or fray And the friday folk Are coming round Let the wildness Have its way Oh sweet autumn With your dark surprise And your short days all smudged with gold You covered up Worn paths for us So no story could be told And sent the dark Come tumbling down So the wildness Can't grow cold So the morning Would never know Of the wildness Of the wildness Driving me on again Of the wildness Of the wildness Shaking me Letting me know There were two of us driving We were six miles out And a Hundred miles to go Still the morning lies waiting And the light falls On your travel map I'm still here hoping For the wildness To relax For the wildness To go back Of the wildness Of the wildness Driving me on again Of the wildness Of the wildness Shaking me Letting me know I said yeah Can you Feel it I went up to your house one night I took 59 in the rain And I saw your tiny face shine So calm and so bright And so gay I called in I called out I couldn't see any other name I woke One morning With the wildness Once again With the wildness Shining in Of the wildness Of the wildness Driving me on again Of the wildness Of the wildness Shaking me Letting me know Of the wildness Of the wildness Driving me on again Of the wildness Of the wildness Shaking me Letting me know Of the wildness Of the wildness baby Driving me on again Of the wildness Of the wildness Shaking me Letting me know |

Down on the flag stones
Accordions, sweet trumpets rise Rusty memories of sin and doubting Mingle in around the Queen Street, traffic noise Would that all the love in the world Watch me through the night? You know, the preacher All he preaches is vanity Maybe, at last you'll see A brighter star than you will shine one day Hymns and words and busy planets Said, "The preacher have come and gone" Even your smile will one day die away When your wealth and words are forgotten Would that all the love in the world Stay with me tonight? You know, the preacher All he preaches is vanity Maybe, at last you'll see A brighter star than you will shine one day Maybe, at last you'll see A brighter star than you will shine one day Maybe, at last you'll see A brighter star than you will shine one day Shine |

This is the way we walk
This is how we walk At closing time These are the songs we sing These are our songs At closing time And in the clear Of this sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again This is my favorite time Drink up now and move outside It's closing time My most favorite lips Are on the girls that i kissed At closing time And in the clear of dear sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again When all the people are just Shuffling home When all the saddest things are Said and done And all the words are brighter In the happy light of Closing time We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and gazed and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river passed And there at the back of eleven In the late summer night A leaf landed soft Soft soft soft And sorrowful And your belly was warm As the day was long And night came upon us So fast Would you be poor Not to be sure That everything lasts for ever Some things don't get better Till you're on your own again We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and stared and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river passed And there at the back of eleven A leaf landed soft and sorrowful And your belly was warm And the day was long And night came upon us So fast So fast Came so fast Came so fast Came so fast And all we said Da da do do All we said was All we said was Was da da do do Was da da do do Da da do do And all we said Do do Do do Do do |

You were a good man
Jamsie Everyone loves you Now you're gone And the seagulls over Where you lie Sing your final song I'm walking back Away from here To see where you belong Here's the church And here's the work And here's where shows were at the fair Take me on your skirling waltzer And scream the ghost train down And buckle me to the chairy plane As the big wheel goes round |

Outside the world
The wind is howling Through the broken trees And the moon is shining As the river meets the sea And I will see you tomorrow Calm and bright in tender light And my heart will be racing Like your wakening eyes Inside my room the curtain's blowing And our bed it lies unmade But the morning will be broken By the loving words you say And I will see you tomorrow Calm and bright in tender light And my heart will be racing Like your wakening eyes Though you're far still your heart sounds loud beating time with me Through the day the only grace I get is I want to be you In the world time were rushing Like the cool evening breeze But my soul is calm And I will see you presently |

Water
Tiny at first then bigger And it flowed right down From the highest hill And it grew and it joined The battling burn And it flowed right through To where we are now Standing Beside a cool cool stream It's hard to imagine The great and terrible river you'll be Bringing life or rest Or wonder Or high high tide And in times like this You bring me here And when the wind is blowing quick time For the waves to be dancing by And the moon is watching over The purple gloaming sky I'll go walking Yeah One day I'll go walking Sometimes I come down here And I don't know why It's like a garden or a room Or a dream that you Keep on trying to find It leaves you feeling that maybe Maybe there's a destination you've missed And all along the way you hope the reason that you came was blessing Hah Some holy kiss Chorus Let me ask you a question Give me the Just give me Just give me five Did you see the picture Or did you read the book I mean Did you really go there Or were you only took I said Were you believing Or were you just shook Well I went inside and I It was dark and Then I stood I stared out long and fast Till my eyes were hurting And I saw the hands on the savior And all his bloody feet And his hair and his clothes were all Mattered and torn Were they only dirty from the beating of the soldiers or just Just from walking |
