lyrics

Hear the tally van a'chuggin through the hoosin schemes
Hear eerie chimes tauntin, a the weans dreams
Gie yer ma a cone
And yer gran a99er
Some no sae lucky
It’s broken wafers instead o sliders

Something lurking just beneath
A different kind o sweet
A different cigarette
A more expensive sort of treat
A wink was all you need
Tae take a wee vacation
Frae the tenament close
Frae yer mammy’s morose
And yer daddy’s frustration

Fat boy doyle always says no
Burnt his hoose richt doon
Let’s no bother who wiz tae blame
Comes alang comes aroon

When ye hear the sound of Greensleeves
Think aboot this tale
It’s more than meets the eye
Maybe these words can avail
Dinnae stand there glaicit
Get yer ma a cone
Beware of the temptations unhealthy contemplations
Li I’ a’ alain
