When you go will you send back
A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Broke off from my work the other day I spent the evening thinking about All the blood that flowed away Across the ocean to the second chance I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada I've looked at the ocean Tried hard to imagine The way you felt the day you sailed From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia We should have held you We should have told you But you know our sense of timing We always wait too long When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Lochaber no more Sutherland no more Lewis no more Skye no more (3x) I wonder my blood Will you ever return To help us kick the life back To a dying mutual friend Do we not love her? I think we all claim we love her Do we have to roam the world To prove how much it hurts? When you go will you send back A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Irvine no more. (3x) Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Lochaber no more. |

There's a touch upon my lips
Left by memory's fingertips I still hear her voice When there's no sound There's a touch upon my skin Left whenshe went back to him All the rest has gone She's not around When I saw her first It was lust my friend Thought it would burn Then it would end But I lost my old philosophy Now I believed in love Well the months went by and my love grew strong Thought she felt the same but I was wrong She held my old philosophy Now I'm destroyed by love There's a touch, etc... Well I still believed that I would win Cos I was a better man than him She held the new philosophy Now she believed in love But the love she felt was not for me Said she would have to set me free Now I know there's no philosophy That can't be destroyed by love There's a touch, etc... |

(Song by Frankie Miller)
Doodle-oo-do etc... Every new day she's a shining sun, Where the waters flow where the rivers run Every new road that I walk along, I can see your face and tries it really strong But all I do know is I love you And I want you to be happy All I know is I love you true And I want you to be happy Every new smile that I see so wide keeps reminding me of a new-born child And every new room that I come into, I can see your face, baby no mistake But all I do know is I love you And I want you to be happy All I know is I love you true And I want you to be happy Doodle-oo-do etc... Every new moon I see that's shining up above, Makes me think of you, you are the one I love Every new star burning in the skies, Gonna fill my need make me testify But all I do know is I love you And I want you to be happy Yeah all I know is I love you true And I want you to be happy Doodle-oo-do etc... |

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 [Chorus] And now that I don't want for anything 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 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 [Chorus] |

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents. No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes. Ah but two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room. I'm a man of means, by no means king of the road. Third boxcar, midnight train, Destination Bangor, Maine. Old worn out suits and shoes, I don't pay no union dues. I smoke old stogies I have found, Short but not too big around. I'm a man of means, by no means king of the road. I know every engineer on every train, All of the children and all of their names And every handout in every town And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around I sing Trailer for sale or rent Rooms to let fifty cents. No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes. Ah but two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room. I'm a man of means, by no means king of the road.

When you look in my eyes you know that I'm gonna lie.
But you look in my eyes for the ghost of love that died. And when you see him you should believe him. He won't deceive you. He's never Leavin'. I used to feel the way he's feelin'. Before I fell for you, I thought love was just a rage. But we left the book of love, signed in blood on every page. They say it makes you feel so alive, but that's the biggest of all the lies. For every sting, part of you dies. So look into my eyes for the ghost of love that died. I don't believe in second chance. Coz that's not love, that's just romance. And I know the endin' well in advance. So look into my eyes for the ghost of love that died. |

I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad He's worn a frown This Caledonia clown I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxen ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'are' away You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should he left for dead It doesn't please your ears And though you tell it like a leg pull I think your still full of John Bull You just refuse to bear Some days I stand On your green and pleasant land Now dare I show face When my diction is such a disgrace Oh what can I do To be understood by you Perhaps for some money I could talk like a bee dripping honey. |

Now I've got a question baby
What makes you cry? 'Cos I haven't seen any water In the corners of your eyes For a day, or a week Or a month, or a year Haven't seen much of you Since you left me my dear Can't you see that I'm hurting How I'm falling apart Don't you care about my drinking Or my poor lonely heart I thought you liked football You didn't mind those videos And my dog didn't mean To ruin your clothes (he can't help it) Now you won't take my phone calls You sent my letters back You're paying for a lawyer To stab me in the back Then I saw you on the street You looked happy, that's a fact I'm impressed - it's a hell of an act Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' And it wakes every night To your weepin' Now I hope you can hear me Wherever you are In a cheap hotel room Or the back seat of a car I make up those situations I don't know if they're true But I'll tell you, for now, they'll do Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' And it wakes every night To your weeping' Now I've got a question bady What makes you cry? |

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 Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you 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. |

When you're in love
You don't know much about it Not in your mind Romantic love Rots the brain, no doubt about it You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind Seeing things like your heart with wings Then you hear violin strings playing Feel all the things that you feel you should You would lie, you would kill, you would die At least that's what you're saying The worst thing is that you really would When you're in love You don't know much about it Not in your mind Romantic love Rots the brain, no doubt about it You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind Six thousand million people in the world And you say there's just one The only one, and you must be together And if they love you the pain is so sweet And it just gets better and better And if they don't You want them more than ever When you're in love You don't know much about it Not in your mind Romantic love Rots the brain, no doubt about it You're out of your mind, you're out of your mind |

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 margarine 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 What's 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. |

I got some bills this morning,
They tumbled through the door I counted every penny but The bills still came to more And printed in the paper For Pisces it did say, "If you would just be bolder, Then this might be your day" It said, "Lady Luck apologises For the way she's been behavin' And she promises she'll change. If you don't want to know her, she'll understand, But if you'd like to take her hand, She could be back at your command." So I ran round the corner, The bookies there I entered Put ten quid on a mare From a stud in Kildare But though the jockey beat her, In Belgium they will eat her. The tannoy began to rip as I tore up the slip It said: "Lady Luck…" I met a girl this evening And I began to think That I might get her drunk But she matched me drink for drink. So when she drew the curtains, I felt success was certain But as she kicked me out, She spoke in the third person She said: "Lady Luck…" |

Please don't go rushing by
Stay and make my heart fly Please don't go rushing by Stay and make my heart fly 'cause I never seem to notice time When you're with me You can tell it to the birds I'll tell the bees I can't do any more To got inside your door I can't do any more Please let me inside your door. |

You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out don't you You just hold your hand out don't you That hope never leaves you 'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer Makes everything clear (Well it might) Well it might in your world (but it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine (I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years And the light just made me blind You say it lights every pathway Shows me how to live life For the rest of my days For the rest of my days (But I can't) But I can't put my faith in (Your words) Your words and demands (I believe) I believe in God alright It's folk like you I just can't stand You don't have to try and scare me To reinforce my faith sir 'Cos I know that one day I'll stand before my maker (And it I'm found) And if I'm found wanting (When my case) When my case is heard (It'll be) It'll be by the author Not some interpreter of his words You make it sound easy You say just hold your hand out don't you You just hold your hand out don't you That hope never leaves you 'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer Makes everything clear (Well it might) Well it might in your world (but it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine (I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years And the light just made me blind Yeah the light just made me blind |

I'm not going to talk about doubts and confusion
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut I'd never been to Ayrshire I hitched down one saturday Sixty miles to Kilmarnock To see Hibernian play The day was bright and sunny But the game I won't relay And there was no Kilmarnock Bunnet To make me want to stay But I'm not going to talk about it On a night when I can see with my eyes shut When I started walking at Wishaw My eyes obscured my vision After five miles on my way I began to learn to listen I walked through the country I walked through the town I held my head up And I didn't look down The question doesn't matter The answer's always "aye" The best view of all Is where the land meets the sky. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By REID, CHARLES STOBO / REID, CRAIG MORRIS Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. |

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 let me get lucky with you Oh Jean, Oh Jean, You let me get 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 could The fourth time I met you I knew that I would Oh Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you Oh Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, 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 heart's gonna pound Even after the day that I'm laid in the ground Cause Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you Oh Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, I love her Love her, I love her, I love her Love her I love her I love her I love Love her I love her I love her I love Love her I love her I love her I love Love her I love her I love her I love Oh Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you Oh Jean, Oh Jean, you let me get lucky with you |
