2. _ S.h.a.r.o.n.
The first thing sharon i ever learned
Never trust a man with confiidence again
The next thing sharon i'd over heard
The fact he's seeing you again is no coincidence
Cos' sharon he wants you
And i know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
Therse no telling you sharon cos' god knows i've tried
And what hurts me sharon , you don't know why , you don't know why
S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
Yeah its winter now but it was summer then
The next thing sharon between you and me
Is for you to see and me to believe
Cos' somehow its harder when your far away
Knowing your happy in your own particular way
Cos' sharon he wants you
And i know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
Therse no telling you sharon cos' god knows i've tried
And what hurts me sharon , you don't know why , you don't know why
S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
And its winter now but it was summer then
S.h.a.r.o.n.
S.h.a.r.o.n.
And again , and again , and again , and again
The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
S.h.a.r.o.n.
The last thing sharon i ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted

Lets go tonight

3. _ Golden Bells
Well the choirs were singing and the candles they were burning
And the lantern girls and alter boys were crossed and cleaned
And my baby and me watched the prayers go higher and higher
As we sadly, slowly, surely took our leave
We're crying now
We we're crying then
Hearing golden bells
So we walked the long mile from the chapel gates
And i felt her warm in my hand as the wind drew us faster
We had no names or flowers in the churchyard
No cards or pity just a childlike space in our hearts
We're crying now
We we're crying then
Hearing golden bells
Oh the light that shines on life
And the living that can tell
Oh the joy, when the gates we reach
And ring those golden bells

4. _ Pimp Talking
There are words that will make you
Make you angry,happy all at once
All at once everything changes
Changes over the whole wide world
This is not the worst thing
Its not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking
There are words as big as work
They will hook you then slap you some slap you some
Some people find better ways of making money
Money something that you get not make
This is not the worst thing
It's not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking
This is not the worst thing
Its not the only thing
Its not the real thing
Its just a pimp talking, its just a pimp talking

5. _ Ghost
I've been dancing round your grave
Cos' i'm always much to scared
Hope you've longed to say
I never liked the way you dressed
Or the cheap ways you impressed
It gets better now your dead
Thats o.k.
I'm not afraid
Not afraid what anyone says now
I can sit around all day
Don't need to hear you say
You'll regret it at my age
And i'm frozen on this stage
I'm blinded by the gaze
Waited for me to say
Its not o.k.
To be this scared
???????????
I don't need your ghost
Coming back, coming back coming back
Just as the dark began to fall
I caught you singing in the hall
But for the beauty of it all

6. _ Goin' Back
(cover version)
I think i'm goin' back to the things i learned so well in my youth
I think i'm returning to those days when i was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And i can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time when i wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now i think i've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack.
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back

7. _ Good
Now everyone's singing
How baby's in black
She got holy rocker
Mad dog he called ronnie
Say here come old flat top
Come moving up slowly
And she got a smile
I can feel in my hip pocket
And i cry, i cry, i cry
Yes i sigh
Well it's a big big dream
But it's a good one
And she's beside me at the wheel
It seems so real
And the driving it's so tiring
And tank is less than zero
And my lips are chapped
What with the roof down flat
And my lips are aching
And my veins is busting
And i cry, i cry, i cry
Yes i sigh
Well it's a big big drream
But it's a good one
And baby's got style
Like a missile silo
And she got speed
Like a derby racer
So you think i'm confused
In this wild hard mood?
No, no she leads me by the hand
Can't be bad

Faifley had a black cloud around it
There was nobody there and someone had stole the chimneys
Fifteen dogs ran up the street
Looking for the hepatitis hospital
And a cat with a bread poultice was singing shangalang backwards

I'd made it through partic, whiteinch, scotstoun and yoker
I was here same as everyone
No more fags, no more giro, no more petrol

9. _ Mexico Rain
I have come five thousand miles and tried to find the ways to b e happy
Travelled through the setting sun i hear those blue lights come i come gladly
Jesus weeps does no-one sleep here anymore?
Just a dime and a half and i'm in oblivion
(oh i'll be sure)
Get it together in a room with a t.v. on
(the world gets better)
I'm on a terrace with a bet on the obvious
(it's gonna shine some more)
Then the thunder struck and the lightning flashed
(oh well that mexico rain)
Jenny's in the jail for telling tales for gold and silver pieces
And the whole world's reading braille like slow snails till the story turns stale and ceases
I'm not coming back down here anymore
Just a dime and a half and i'm in oblivion
(oh i'll be sure)
Get it together in a room with a t.v. on
(the world gets better)
I'm on a terrace with a bet on the obvious
(ithe sun is gonna shine)
Then the thunder struck and the lightning flashed
He put it all on a certain return
Then lost a dollar fifty on mexico rain

Its time get your ticket and get on board
Its time for all the people to take this freedom ride
Get it together and work for freedom side by side

Were gonna ride on through the valley
Under the clear blue sky
Everybody's gonna stand up proud with their heads held high

11. _ Indigo Sky
We went as we know how
As far as the wind and the sky would allow
Waking from sleep
Alive to the noise we came
After the turn of the year
With only the sky as a silver seer
Of anything restively turning
And slowly beginning
Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we so afraid
That under the indigo sky
We'll sing and we'll drink and we'll cry
After the falling apart
After the noise and the guilt and the hurt
We woke from sleep
And saw that it wasn't a dream
Was it a trick of the light
That there in the spirit damned demon night
We lit a fire
And crowded all around it
Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we sore afraid
That under the indigo sky we lay down and we died
Under the indigo sky
We lay down and we died

Listen to the wave crash
Listen to the wave on the wide sound
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
Church bells keep ringing for you and i
We rush,we live,we laugh for some time night
These green fields and roads go rolling in your eye
These green fields and roads go back and back and back
Oh my america my new found land
Oh my america my new found land

13. _ Deathwork Song
Let's sing a song for all the workmen
Working on the carpark down by here
Wrecking through the tombstones and the granite
Cutting through the bone here
Sweeping all the dust here
Crunching all the dirt down
Lifting it up and putting it down
For once the sun beats down so warmly
As the earthmovers come on so strong
Move some hard old century closer
Move it from the earth
Put it on the truck
Drive the truck away
Lift it all up and put it all down
And now the site stands still and silent
As the men come circling around
To see the bag left in the ground here
Must have been a time ago
Can't have been that old
Must have been so lonely
So lift up and set it down
I can see my father in his place now
It's many years away from here
Lying back in sleep that's short and deep
I think he's a good man
I feel his good hands
They seemed so soft then
When they were setting us up and putting us down

Fourteen years on a steam-pack sonny
Trying to get the kit off my back
Pushing shanghai to liverpool sonny
Pissing in the wind and the flag
You're kipping out in the railway station
Now you've left the navy behind
You're hoping just to ride
Fourteen years of belligerence sonny
Working from dakar to belise
Fourteen years of marine life, baby
Trying to keep a man of your knees
Your kipped out in a railway station
Now you've left the navy behind
You're hoping just to ride

15. _ Ronnie Spector
I take off my glasses and i pull on my shirt
I call up my friends on my long ,long list
I said i've got a reason just to get to the coast
I'll stand on the streets where all the books were wrote
I remember words
That ran around my head
And made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and ronnie spector
I'm in an old humber
That takes a long, long road
And remembering the smell
Of summer on the parcel shelf
And opening up the quarter light
And holding out a scythe
That levels out the landscape
As a car, car travels
I remember words
That ran around my head
And made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and ronnie spector
If these things don't get me
Then walking in the rain will.

16. _ Bound To Love
There`s no direction
And no way through
There is no reason
To pay back what is through
You never owned intentions
Never knowed no way back
Never knowed no way back
But i know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
And he just came from eden
Where the fruit was on the tree
And he passed me some and signalled
That the world was there to see
And it seemed so wide and opened
And it seemed to be so free
It seemed to be so free
Well you opened up the cage
And you let us fly away
You saw us as we carried
All the gifts that you now see
You know the cost of everything
But you value what you yearn
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
Bound to love again
Bound to love again
Bound to love again
Bound to love again
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
I know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
You`re bound to love again
Bound to love again

17. _ Only Love Remains
Everything gets broken
And pushed aside
Sympathy will be spoken
Even faith will die
I've got a thing about wheels
Everything returning
I've got a thing about wheels
I've got a thing about wheels
Love , love , love only love remains
Where we are standing
Is where they put 'em in the earth
All his beautiful faces
There's nothing of him left
I've got to walk through that earth
I've got to walk through that earth
I've got to live through that death
I've got to live through that death
Love , love , love only love remains
Love , love , love only love remains

18. _ Take Me To The Place
For oscar marzaroli 1933 - 1988
Take me to the place where your heart hurts most
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place
There's a beach that i walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, i take you there, and it's easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps
My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want's to be there, be there with you
Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me

19. _ Disneyworld
I think the whole world should look good
That's important to me
Everyone should look good
And when they die they should die with their boots on
And their hearts on fire
When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld
I think the whole world should be funny
Thats important to me
If you can't be funny don't be ugly
When they speak they should speak with their hands firmly on their hearts
When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld
I like to see people happy
Singing on the way to work
Children and animals happy
When they laugh they should laugh like us
Not like other creatures do
When i die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to disneyworld

Always another time
Getting lost in a different dream
Star crossed and never scared to name it
He once was a roving man
Now he wears his wedding band
Never times to waste not being together
Maybe there's a million years
A thousand leagues of fallen tears still falling
We're always alone
She'll be your roving girl
Travel out and in your world
She'll bring you gifts you never thought to mention
Kind words and kisses sweet
High walls and windows deep
To keep safe but show there's nothing worth your missing
Maybe there's a veil of tears
Atapestry of leaden cares we'll share in
We're always alone
Maybe there's a veil of tears
Tapestry of leaden cares we'll share in
We're always alone
So good alone

There was ice and broken pavements on the hill tower
And the light was falling from the infirmary
And the last of the dogs was barking
At the steps from gentle teardrops and me
And i asked about her sister and her mother
And her uncle tom serving on the sea
And her grampa's gammy leg that kept him in his bed
And kept out gentle teardrops and me
And its a long way to keep up conversation
When your broken up over fish 'n' chips and peas
And the grease is on your arm
Like a girl you've never worn
Walking home gentle teardrops and me
It's a cold cold night..its a cold cold night
And i wont forget september is your birthday
And the prisons been paid up for fifteen weeks
And i'll send it through to ease
You can take it as you please
With love the gentle teardrops from me
With love the gentle teardrops ........from...me
Yes we're rolling home...ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops...ahh we're rolling home

24. _ Hey Craig
Had a band once
Bass and drums
I sang and played piano
Craig played guitar
Always knew the tunes
Had the records made tapes
Kept dates
Never fell over once
Once when we were in the car
Listening back smiling
We felt surrounded by stars
Hey craig do you still wear your guitar
Hanging down about your knees
Do you still throw up your window
To let out the old year
I remember once someone letting off fireworks
You out your window
Wondering where the war was
Bought a jacket scrolled
With rock and roll i never wore
You took it everywhere
Moved your sister's stuff in a van
Your mum drove us home again
Hey craig the kids are growing up
You can be young again
Hey craig let's say "the shields is gallus"
One more time again
Hey craig we'll stop the car now
And check the trees again
Hey craig we'll do what we did badly
And do it bad again
Bad again
And i'll come back again
Bad again
And i'll come back again
Put this on an old tape
Lush were still bleeding through
Thought you'd understand that
It should have happened on this tape too

Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I hear your laughter and theres something i've got to know
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I'm standing on your doorstep and i don't know what to do
Should i ring your door bell or just walk away
My friends all say you were never true
(hiding in the shadows)
I see two silohouttes at the back of your window shield
Are you there with another girl
When i am gone
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If your there with another girl i can't go on
I only know i love you i couldn't say why
So if theres another i don't want to know
If you should go i would surely die
Love requires faith i've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming out of your radio
I only know i love you i couldn't say why
So if theres another i don't want to know
If you should go i would surely die
You would never leave me hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you worry so about you
Love requires faith i've got a lot of faith but

And your there with another girl

Talking diamonds talking steel
Don't talk things that, folk don't know
Talk about money and stuff thats real

All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
Everyday my neighbour drives
For the company from the south
Tells the stories of how things are there
Talks about their life talks about ours
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real

I've been trying to leave this house
Everyday they cross that great bridge
And watch those trains pull in and out
Those trains, those trains, those trains

You're rolling faster than the big cars go
Big cars hit hard and knock you low

The whole world sleeps and baby you drive
Taking the ocean in your stride never crosses your mind

A girl with a pin to burst your bubble

Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why i'm here to remind you

Nothing but pain, lies and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow

Feel my arms around you

Waited just to love you

You've got the look of love
Upon your face
The look that time can't erase
Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and then
Seal it with a kiss

Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
You've got that look
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you

Waited just to love you

By the light of the waning moon
Under a blueblack sky
They talked the slow way home
Of years passed closely by
They caught only a casual look
From strangers with things to do
Only a loveless heart
Could feel anything less than sure
That they`re still in the mood
Still in the mood
After the time has passed
They were still in the mood
You`d take the chimes of midnight
To be the drum of your heart`s desire
And you`d change all you`re golden rings
For one time on the wheel of fire
So take off your shabby coat
Let all the leaves fall down
Leave this stuff till morning
And then come gently round
To be still in the mood
Still in the mood
When the sun has come up
We`ll be still in the mood
We`re still in the mood
Still in the mood
After the time has passed
We are still in the mood

34. _ My Friend Tonight
The only one with a party dress
That could fall in blue waves upon the floor
And step the country waltz that i'd seen her dance
On her front lawn of her house all alone
She lies still beside me with the t.v. on
I see her mummy look so sad
Turn down the volume and watch worried women weep
And touch the ring on her frozen hand
But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight
Now i watch the flames leap up into the sky
From a fire that swallows all her clothes
She's stretched across a floor that's never been her home
I'll take her with me when i go
But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight
We're young again
Oh you never missed me this way...
But she's my friend tonight
She's my friend tonight

35. _ Into The Good Night
Under the braw city night
And under the warm summer light
The evening begins
The day's been lightened with song
As glad as the winter is long
And so we begin
As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night
And into the farthest of hopes
And tied by the lightest of ropes
We'll sail away
And pulled by the sounds of the waves
And stories of heavenly places
We'll go on our way
As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night
I never even played you this song
Don't know that it might be wrong
You might never say
So let's do what lovers will do
Step out in the gathering rooms
And give love away
As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night

36. _ Don't Let The Teardrops Start
Tomorrows a holiday and we will be high all day
Singing and playing shows and going as far as the country bus goes
And the bands will be swinging as high as the swing boat goes
And the trees will be swaying and the boats will be heading out to the sea
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Cos' all the friends are departing the night skies are parting
Late drinkers are singing their way home and the tower bell is ringing over the ????
Seems like the country is smiling the good times returning
Don't let your eyes start clouding and your old songs start bringing you down again
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near

37. _ Hear On The Wind
The garden of eden
The ancient of days
The wild dreams that wake us
The life before death
The mocking red sun
The night that will come
In my darkness and solitude
Everything will come and i'll know it's true
I'll hear on the wind
I'll hear on the wind
I'll listen in silence
For the things to believe in
For the blue black night cat
And his prey that's a hiding
For the new born baby
Who's life will be struggle
In my life i've tried to keep
The turning world from touching me
But i hear on the wind
I hear on the wind
I hear on the wind such terrible things
About the earth that is savaged and scalded and changed
And where the splinter moon shines on the darkening sea
Where the southern sailors sail to be free
And i never did see i only believe
What i hear on the wind i hear on the wind

38. _ Almost Beautiful
There is something almost right
There is something that really talks to me
There is something wrong but almost good
There is something that nearly terrifies
There is something more we can talk about
Maybe there is something we can change
If there are ways to go then let us
We don't want to live this always
Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something, almost beautiful
Far and distant from what you see is what is there
And that love there is something wonderful,wonderful
There's nowhere to go but here now
And nothing to find that isn't beautiful
And all that's lost you count as nought
To what is there so free so free
We don't wanna live this
This way are way no way no way no way i said
Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something almost beautiful.
Cry your heart
For something good you'd do it for
You try so hard
For something almost beautiful.

39. _ Proud To Be An Arab
Walk the hill, slowly down
Get all of saturday's news
From the back of the grampian end
All fife's kingdom is in view
The pitch it looks like blackpool
Sound and light and tangerine
When andy dickson's treatment time comes
The dens reserve game can be seen
And i'm proud to be an arab
Proud of my home team
And i'm proud to be an arab
Old times...and new
The half-time scores make a rusty rising
The crowd are glad of the news
Warmed by the bovril and the scoreline
The old firm 1, dundee 2
And i'm proud to be an arab
Proud of my home team
Yes i'm proud to be an arab
Old times...and new

40. _ That Brilliant Feeling
I hope one day all the waters will clear
I want to see them rolled away
I hope one day all the stones and the secrets
I want to see them blown away, so get in love
Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling
I hope one day all the lies and dust
I want to see them blown away
I hope one day i stand on these sands
I want to be there so get in love
Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling
I hope one day they'll turn around all things
I hope one day they'll turn around all things
I hope one day they'll turn around all things
So get in love
Call me joy ,call me will ,call me anything
Call me hopeful
I've got that brilliant feeling
One bright morning
I'll fly away

41. _ You Don't Understand (unreleased)
Here's a cry for every lie you tried but didn't know i saw
And a sigh for every poor man,and woman and child that you ignore
Here's some wounded sailors from fighting your war overseas
Good god almighty its pulling me down on my knees
But if you don't know where you hurt
Where you wound and you bite and you burn
Then you don't understand
Now i'm the man who crumbled five years into your plan
And i'm dreaming of days when my hands and face were oily and blackened
Finnieston's howling ghost ships are all i can see
But now i shiver and shift and i'm worried
So i drift -'cause i know that i'm beaten
But if you think we don't know that you know
Each time we tumble under your blows
Then you don't understand
Its goodbye tonight ,i'm catching the ten o'clock train
Its leaving central station and pulling out of this wind and this terminal rain
So its bye bye, glasgow
Bye bye baby goodbye
Ooh be lah , we na na
There's only so long you can try

42. _ The Friends Of Billy Bear
Is there a wolf in the house
Or a scapegoat or a man who's never scared
Is there anyone that can show me a photograph
Is there a friend of billy bear
Because he's as tough as railings and built like a hill
His head's a gentle slope for the good to fall on
And all across the weekend he'll make you aware
That come monday moring you're a friend of billy bear
Is there a woman indoors or a child in disguise
Or a dog that's not sized his boot soles
Is there a board that's never felt his terrible tread
Or a window never shook by billy bear
Is there a mother of a son not worried when he comes
Busrting through his clothes like a sunset
Or some poor forgotten burn whose life not overturned
By the freewheeling tow of billy bear
Is there a wolf in the house
Or a scapegoat or a man who's never scared
Is there anyone that can show me a photograph
Is there a friend of billy bear

43. _ Waves Of Sorrow
There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come
And you'll watch and wait and lie beneath each one
When the last things gone and broken you'll never even know
But another place will open and you'll begin again
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
And in your waving sorrow and in your drowning pain
Caught in the seconds glimpse the will to love again
When the last things gone broken you'll never even know
But another place will open and you'll begin again
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love
There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come
And you'll watch and wait and lie beneath each one
There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come

44. _ Long Window To Love
You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
And you forget about the years
About the planting and the dying and the growing
And you forget about your cares
But you remember that they've been forgotten
By the people sent to london
They're taking down your cares
Drinking off your tears
Gambling on your fears
For things that cost so dear
And won't be paid for years
Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love
They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under
They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain
Its just the same ,just the same, its just the same ,just the same
You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
