The day that Jackie jumped the jail
|
There was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway
|
And thirty thousand fireworks took the piss out of Princes Street Gardens
|
So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener
|
See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morning
|
|
The sun will be up again
|
And you you will be loved again
|
|
After the sausages and cream of the barley
|
There was aframe or two to be had at the "Imperial" on Mitchell Street
|
Five years ago he`d buried her memory with a snooker cue on a daft wee student`s head
|
Still he remembered everything
|
|
The sun will be up again
|
And you you will be loved again
|
And the wind
|
And the rain
|
And the wind
|
And the rain
|
Falls around
|
|
As he walked down Hope Street he thought about the last time they`d been together
|
He`d been wearing a green parka and he`d bought her yellow stilettos
|
That squeezed her toes
|
He`d told her the whole story as she took him into the wee penn behind Sloan`s
|
And let him feel her all over
|
For the last time
|
Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him up
|
|
The sun will be up again
|
And You,You will be loved again
|
You will be loved
|
And the wind
|
And the rain
|
Falls around
|
All over this town
|
