Lyrics

Welcome to my world, not that you?re welcome to it
Cars fly by and a river runs thru it
Taking rubbish to the East and people to the Southside
Trolley in the burn speaks volumes for civic pride
Are we miles better than that?
They don?t think so
The men get up for golf and the women live for bingo
What kind of template is that for our new nation?
A party pack of super lager (aptly named) for lubrication
To nullify the threat and dull determination
Give the jock a bone
Fight off the beggars will you?
They won?t be following you to pastures and improved
It?s all too good to be true
You?ll see??..
And anyone with half a brain, gets picked to board the London train
And join the fame and brain drain
From Glasgow Central Station?.platform 1
And the Tiger bids you a fond farewell, safe in the knowledge
That he?ll still be here when you return?.disillusioned
But hey??.don?t listen to me

Don?t give me that lip boy
You can keep your Pope and your Crown
The Duke of Wellington?s dead
He?s got a cone on his head
It?s just another Night on the Town

Town planners got it right, they saw far
With a bar, bar,bookie,chinkie,bookie,bookie,bar
Gave us suppers in the morning, exercise at night
And five-a-sides at closing time for a handshake or a fist fight
Are we much better than that?
I sure think so
A seat at University for parliamo Glasgow
But getting monged off your face won?t help the situation
A £5 bag for life alleviation
If you can?t afford the come down , stick to Playstation
Stop playing with your bone
Every place you go to, what school did your father go to,
Are you a green or a blue, don?t give a monkey do you?
I didn?t think so
I can?t remember ever seeing as many northern European people
In my life with a sun tan?..is it for real...are YOU for real?
And even though you?re aware of all its little flaws,
You may leave, but your heart will remain because
Its your little piece of Paradise

Don?t give me that lip boy
You can keep your Pope and your Crown
The Duke of Wellington?s dead
He?s got a cone on his head
It?s just another Night on the Town
(repeat)

Firhill,Wintersgills,Zico,Zaf and Happy pills,
Sheridan and people power, seasons change in half an hour
Shawfield, three wheel scooters with their stabilisers
Friday night duos play the slosh on synthesisers
Chicken curries for your fatties, sweat it out at Clatty Patties
Photographs of back combed hair, Christmas time in George Square
Hail Hail, Rock and Roll, Reidy on the radio
Ten pin superbowl, Disco Viva, get yer hole
We don?t need a golden mile, we?ve got Jordans? toothless smile
Snotty kids in summer wellies, going to Andy, Tam and Kelleys
Rain rain go away, Barras on a Saturday
Black market knocked off gear??????
