2.Cap In Hand
I could tell the meaning of a word like serene
I got some 'o' grades when i was sixteen
I can tell the difference between magarine and butter
I can say 'saskatchewan' without starting to stutter
But i can't understand why we let someone else rule our land
We're cap in hand
I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight
I know its evening when day turns to night
I can understand why stranraer lie so lowly
They could save a lot of points by signing hibs goalie
But i can't understand why we let someone else rule our land
We're cap in hand
We fight - when they ask us
We boast - then we cower
We beg
For a piece of
Whats already ours
Once i thought i could make god a bribe
So i said i was in his lost tribe
Getting handouts can be so frustrating
'get in line son, there's five million waiting'
I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land
You're cap in hand.
3.Then I Met You
then i met you
Thought that i'd be happy
Going to be so happy
Living life alone and never sharing anything
Thought that i was finished
Thought that i was complete
Thought that i was whole instead of being half of something
Thought that i was growing
Growing older, wiser
Understanding why this world held nothing for my spirit
Thought that i was destined
Destined to be nothing
Destined to be nothing in this world and then i met you.
I met you
Thought that god had failed me
Thought my prayers were useless
Thought that he would never give the chance for me to praise him
Thought the book was written
Thought the game had ended
Thought the song was sung and i could never sing another
Thought my faith was misplaced
Thought my back was broken
Broken by a weight that i was never fit to carry
Thought i knew this city
Thought i knew all about it
And then one night i went to morningside and you were waiting
I met you
4.My Old Friend The Blues
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe i ever doubted you
My old friend the blues
Another lonely night, a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
'cause i know i can always count on you
My old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that i've found
No matter what i do i'll never lose
My old friend the blues
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the blues
5.Sean
Sean i'd say the best one came from tupelo, mississippi
I'll tell you now that grown men cry and irish girls are pretty
Though fear and hurt and care can lead me to despair
I saw why i'm here the morning you appeared
Sean, i sat awhile on clouds to ask god if he's living
I should have spent the time on knees in thanks for what he's
given
From parents smart and strong to both of us passed on
From kings is where you come, through daughters and through
sons.
6.Sunshine On Leith
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
Sorrow sorrow sorrow sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
You saw it, you claimed it
You touched it, you saved it
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While i'm worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the chief, puts sunshine on leith
I'll thank him for his work
And your birth and my birth.
7.Come On Nature
Come on nature, i don't want to read a book or talk about the
world
Come on nature, i just want to spend some time being boy to the
girl
Come on nature, let me show the way that i've been feeling all
along
Come on nature, just because i don't feel weak don't mean i feel
so strong
I've been known to ask a few more favours than i should of you
And in time i'm sure i'll still want things that you could never
do
If she wasn't mine, if i was stepping out of line,
But she's mine and i'm in line and she's the best i've ever seen
Come on nature, let me show the way that i've been feeling all
along
Dark brown hair, green eyes and white skin
You perfect every colour that she's in
Come on nature, i don't want to read a book or talk about the
world
Come on nature, i just want to spend some time being boy to the
girl
Her and me, i could be complete if you could let it be
My desire, is to stretch myself inside her body's fire
If i stumbled in then i could say that i had been to the
Chamber where your greatest work of art was on display.
8.I'm On My Way
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way to what i want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day i wandered
I took a right, i took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, i took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that i could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one i'd looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door
And now that i don't want for anthing
I'd have al jolson sing 'i'm sitting on top of the world'
I'll do my best, i'll do my best to do the best i can
I'll do my best, i'll do my best to do the best i can
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson
And now that i don't want for anything
I'd have al joison sing 'i'm sitting on top of the world'.
9.What Do You Do？
Yes i know you're right
I see it in your fierce eyes
But me i've never thought straight
Since the day i had the first doubt
Yes i know you're right
And i'll back you to a point pal
But i'll never be constrained
By another man's ideas now
I spent too long on this road
Looking for the answers
But poverty and failure
Aren't what i'm after
I painted 'fight' on factories
But they closed the factory down pal
I want to find out where the heart's gone
Find out where the nerves gone
What do you do
When democracy fails you
What do you do
When the rest can't see its true？
Pat votes the scots way
Just like her mother
But south always takes all
Just like her brother
The next time she might vote
So might the others
But times running out pal
Cause they're giving up in numbers
What do you do
When democracy's all through
What do you do
When minority means you？
10.It's Saturday Night
It's saturday night, i'm feeling on song
I think i'm alright, i know i'm all wrong
The drink that i had three hours ago
Has been joined by fourteen others
In a steady flow
So lot me walk straight, don't let me feel pain
I'm gonna scratch cars, with my keys again
Cos when i go home and fall on my bed
If it doesn't leave my stomach, it'll split my head.
11.Teardrops
Teardrops running down your face
Teardrops running down your face
Diamonds of water, and salt from your body
Coming down to meet my kisses
Teardrops running down your face
Teardrops running down your face
Staining your skin and my skin and beginning
The stories that you can't begin
The way i feel could be despised but its a vision that i prize
Teardrops teardrops
I'm not trying to make you feel pain
Or joy to make the tears flow
But when they roll unashamed - they move me so
Teardrops running down you, face
Teardrops running down you, face
Let me, let me brush them with my fingers
Comfort you and say its alright
It's so strong this way i feel sometimes i want to beg or steal
Teardrops teardrops.
12.Oh Jean
I'd never been lucky with girls i confess
Don't know who to blame for my lack of success
Cause even with ones up the back of a bus
There was always the risk of a slap in the puss
But jean, oh jean you lot me got lucky with you
The first time i met you it did cross my mind
The next time i saw you there wasn't the time
The third time i saw you i thought that i would
The fourth time i met you i knew that i would
But jean, you get let me get lucky with you
I love her
I want you forever i want you for good
So i'm gonna treat you the way that i should
For your soul and body my hearts gonna pound
Even after the day that i'm laid in the ground
Cause jean you let me get lucky with you
Love her i love her.
