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

MonteleoneVer letra 3:38

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
Cleaning My GunVer letra 4:43

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
The Car Was The OneVer letra 3:56

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
Remembrance DayVer letra 5:06

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

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
So Far From The ClydeVer letra 5:59

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

Piper To The EndVer letra 5:45

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
