about

Who hasn’t wanted to lead a life that’s exotic and glamorous? If ye cannae be a celebrity footballer, ye can always pretend tae be a Spaniard. Aye, now ye’re talkin’. Steve B leads.

lyrics

He was a Glasgow, Glasgow Latino
His name was Eduardo Diego Ironside
He worked the waltzers at the showgrounds
And he danced on the banks of the Clyde
He was a Glasgow, Glasgow Latino
Sangria was his favourite vino
He was a Glasgow, Glasgow Latino
All two-carat gold and Brylcreem
He was a Glasgow, Glasgow Latino
His name was Eduardo Diego Ironside
They say he rode a Triumph 650 - cc
Had a’ the patter and he thought he was wide
Polly fae Partick, Gladys fae Govan,
They both yearned for his exotic lovin’
Both of those lassies wi’ cheap proposals
Rings on their fingers and buns in the oven
He was a Glasgow, Glasgow Latino
His flick-knife glistening ‘neath the moonlight
But if you ever got on his wrong side
‘Neath the counter at the chippy he’d a gun
Eduardo Diego, Eduardo Diego Ironside
