    letra de Border Reiver

    Southern bound from Glasgow town

    She's shining in the sun

    My Scotstoun lassie on a border run

    We're whistling down the hillsides and tearing up the climbs

    I'm just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver



    Three hundred thousand on the clock and plenty more to go

    Crash box and lever – she needs the heel and toe

    She's not too cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat

    I'm a six-foot driver but you can't adjust the seat in the Border Reiver



    "Sure as the Sunrise"

    That's what they say about the Albion

    "Sure as the Sunrise", that's what they say about the Albion

    And she's an Albion

    She's an Albion



    The Ministry don't worry me my paperwork's alright

    They can't touch me

    I got my sleep last night

    It's knocking out a living wage in 1969

    I'm just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver



    "Sure as the Sunrise"

    That's what they say about the Albion

    "Sure as the Sunrise", that's what they say about the Albion

    And she's an Albion

    She's an Albion

    letra de Hard Shoulder

    I've got latches for windows

    Handles for doors

    Grinders and scrapers

    And sanders for floors



    Rake for the gravel

    Chains for the snow

    Always got the shovel

    You never know

    I never thought you'd go



    Man's broken down

    Man's broken down

    On the slip road

    Got a slip load

    And it's a hard

    Shoulder to cry on



    Hacksaws and hammers

    Brushes and mop

    And I've got the ladders

    Up on the top



    If something needs doing

    I always say

    You want it done

    The proper way

    I need you to stay



    Man's broken down

    Man's broken down

    On the slip road

    Got a slip load

    And it's a hard

    Shoulder to cry on



    Give me a minute

    We'll be going again

    Sound as a bell

    Right as rain

    Right as rain



    And it's a hard

    Shoulder to cry on

    To cry on

  5. MonteleoneVer letra 3:38

    [X]

    letra de Monteleone

    The chisels are calling

    It's time to make sawdust

    Steely reminders of things left to do

    Monteleone

    A mandolin's waiting for you



    My fingerplane's working

    Gentle persuasion

    I bend to the wood and I coax it to sing



    Monteleone

    Your new one and only will ring

    Monteleone

    Your new one and only will ring



    The rain on the window

    The snow on the gravel

    The seasons go by to the songs in the wood



    Too quick or too careless

    It all could unravel

    It so easily could



    The chisels are calling

    It's back for an encore

    Back to the shavings that cover the floor



    Monteleone

    A call for more

    Monteleone

    A call for more

  6. Cleaning My GunVer letra 4:43

    [X]

    letra de Cleaning My Gun

    I keep a weather eye on the horizon, back to the wall

    I like to know who's coming through the door at us all



    It's the old Army training, kickin' in

    I'm not complaining

    It's the world we live in



    Ronny and Malarkey, they're a devious firm

    They'll take you to the cleaners, let you burn

    The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen,

    Thanks a lot

    We hired the worst dishwasher

    This place ever got

    Hidden below the radar, they want to spoil our fun...

    In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun



    Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank

    We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank

    Keep a weather eye on the horizon

    Tap the storm glass now and then

    We got a case of Old Damnation

    For when you get here my friend



    We can have ourselves a party before they come...

    In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun



    We had women and a mirror ball, we had a DJ

    We used to eat pretty much all came this way

    Ever since the goons came in took apart the place

    I keep a tire iron in the corner just in case



    Gave you a magic bullet on a little chain

    Keep you safe from the chilly winds

    And the howl of the rain



    We're gonna might need bullets, should we have stuck

    Any which way, we're gonna need a little luck



    You can still get gas in heaven and drink in kingdom come...

    In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun

  7. The Car Was The OneVer letra 3:56

    [X]

    letra de The Car Was The One

    In summer '63 I was staying alive
    Hanging at the races, hoping to drive
    When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
    I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar

    I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
    Who should come laughing and joking in here
    But Bobby Borwn, the winer of the sports car race
    With some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place

    Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
    He knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
    He'd do anything - one night for a bet
    He raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

    I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
    With the beautiful girl and be king of the track
    But the truth is when all was said and done
    It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
    It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
    The car was the one - the car was the one

  8. Remembrance DayVer letra 5:06

    [X]

    letra de Remembrance Day

    On your maypole green

    See the winding morris men

    Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken

    Waving hankies, sticks and books

    All the earthen roofs



    Standing at the crease

    The batsman takes a look around

    The boys are fielding on home ground

    The steeple sharp against the blue

    When I think of you



    Sam and Andy

    Jack and John

    Charlie, Martin

    Jamie, Ron

    Harry, Stephen

    Will and Don

    Matthew, Michael



    On and on



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them



    Time has slipped away

    The Summer sky to Autumn yields

    A haze of smoke across the fields

    Let's sup and fight another round

    And walk the stublbed ground



    When November brings

    The poppies on Remembrance Day

    When the vicar comes to say

    Lest we forget our sons



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them



    We will remember them

    Remember them

    Remember them

  9. Get LuckyVer letra 4:34

    [X]

    letra de Get Lucky

    I'm better with my muscles
    Than I am with my mouth
    I worked the fairgrounds in the summer
    And go pick fruit down south

    And when I'm feel them chilly winds
    Where the weather goes I follow
    Pack up my traveling things go with the swallows

    And I might get lucky now and then
    You win some, you might get lucky now and then
    You win some

    I wake up every morning
    Keep on eye on what I spent
    Gotta think about eating
    Gotta think about paying the rent

    I always think it's funny
    It gets me everytime
    I wonder about the happiness and money
    Tell it to the breadline

    But you might get lucky now and then
    You win some, you might get lucky now and then
    You win some

    Now I'm rambling through this meadow happy as a man can be
    Think I just lay me down under this old tree
    On and on we go through this old world of shuffling
    If you got a truffle dog, you can go truffling

    But you might get lucky now and then
    You win some, you might get lucky now and then
    You win some

  10. So Far From The ClydeVer letra 5:59

    [X]

    letra de So Far From The Clyde

    They had a last supper the day of the beaching

    She's a dead ship sailing skeleton crew

    The galley is empty, the stove pots are cooling

    What's left of the stew

    The time is approaching, the captain moves over

    The hangman steps in to do what he's paid for

    With the wind down the tide she goes proud ahead steaming

    And he drives her hard into the shore



    So far from the Clyde

    Together we ride, we did ride



    A drift to a wave from her bows to her rudder

    Bravely she rises to meet with the land

    Under their feet they all feel the keel shudder

    The shallow sea washes their hands

    Later the captain shakes hands with the hangman

    Climbs slowly down to the oily wet ground

    Goes back to the car that has come here to take him

    Through the graveyard back to the town



    So far from the Clyde

    Together we ride, we did ride



    They pull out her cables and hack off her hatches

    Too poor to be wasteful with pity or time

    They swarm on her carcass with torches and axes

    Like a whale on a bloody shoreline

    Stripped of her pillars her stays and her stanchions

    When it's only her bones on the wet poison land

    Steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines

    Till it's only a stain on the sand



    So far from the Clyde

    Together we ride, we did ride

    So far from the Clyde

    Together we ride, we did ride

  11. Piper To The EndVer letra 5:45

    [X]

    letra de Piper To The End

    When I leave this world behind me

    To another I will go

    And if there are no pipes in heaven

    I'll be going down below



    If friends in time be severed

    Someday we will meet again

    I'll return to leave you never

    Be a piper to the end



    This has been a day to die for

    Now the day is almost done

    Up above a quiet seabird

    Turns to face the setting sun



    Now the evening dove is calling

    And all the hills are burning red

    And before the night comes falling

    Clouds are lined with golden thread



    We watched the fires together

    Shared our quarters for a while

    Walked the dusty roads together

    Came so many miles



    This has been a day to die on

    Now the day is almost done

    Here the pipes will lay beside me

    Silent with the battle drum



    If friends in time be severed

    Someday we will meet again

    I'll return to leave you never

    Be a piper to the end
