I've had centuries
of lonliness here

not spoken to anyone
in all this time

even if i could speak
i just happen to be
400 million miles from you

oh...

i think i'm hearing something

och...it must be that
south tropical disturbance
reaches me every
2000 years or so

just a wee quiver really, eh
but sure as fuck
kicks through you

i once saw this blue planet

only a glimpse mind

but ti was all the
more beautiful

coz at least i could
hear a sound 

speak to you soon then

From Leith tae Gorgie
they bend there necks
tae construct oor city

They're like steel
daffodils that nod
their necks

I sometimes wonder
if they might dream

Of being on Mars
or Jupiter

But then again

How wid they
get there?

The bairns are aw dressed
fi heed tae toe
in silver n'glitter

wi aw the shimmerin
promenades blazin'
fi miles and miles
along the neon river

and there was you wi
yir old addidas trainers on
that were dumped from
a black Capris in
in Clovenstone '94

still lookin fer yir
xmas tree angels

the glitter twins
keep shoutin' from the
back o'the bus

aye dad Bremner's deid

the ten stone o' barbed wire
halo the wee tormentor o'
those players who just
couldnae rise to the
big occasion

aye he was pure magic dad

Strachan, Lorimer, Greig
and the Leeds United
fan wi the number
four jersey on they were all there on the
day to pay their last
respects

so how come a mere
game o' fitbaw can
can raise such emotions
in people dad?

ah...but there's mere tae
it than that son.
