# Dreaming

# Without sleeping

# It's morning

# Are you leaving?

# But our story

# It has only begun

# And are you willing it to end?

# You promised me a feeling

# Something to believe in

# You promised me a feeling

# Now promise to be real

# But our story

# It has only begun

# And are you willing it to end?

# You promised me a feeling

# Something to believe in

# You promised me a feeling

# Now promise to be real

# You promised me a feeling

# Something to believe in

# You promised me a feeling

# Now promise to be real. #

# So who'd care if nothing Comes out of this morning

# But an earful of sea and an eyeful of sun

# And a deckchair all but broken When sunbathed upon

# Each of us is just as backwards at coming forwards

# Silence from me Whilst you're keeping shtoom

# And my mind's still as blank As that postcard you've barely begun

# So would you look at this gang

# How we all burst forth at sun-up

# From our caravan parks

# Whilst the kids are going mental Kicking up sand

# I shall take this chance

# To slope off Find the queen of ice creams

# I shall ask her to dance While she dithers with wafers

# 99 is the number of my knockbacks

# The water here doesn't get any warmer

# She won't let me get anywhere near her

# I'm just looking for a bandstand holiday-only romance

# Or at least share a slider Whilst sitting beside her

# I'll kid on I'm rich Kid on I'm older no wiser

# Kid on I'm foreign Maybe kid on I'm only from Largs

# So would you look at this gang How we all burst forth at sun up

# From our caravan parks

# Whilst the kids are going mental Kicking up sand

# Kicking up sand

# So would you look at this gang

# How we all burst forth at sun up From our caravan parks

# Whilst the kids are going mental Kicking up sand

# To slope off Find the queen of ice creams

# I shall ask her to dance While she dithers with her wafers

# 99 is the number of my knockbacks

# Of my knockbacks. #

# Bored yet busy with my hands

# Cargill You'll have me round the bend

# Cargill You're pulling all the strands

# Of my heartstrings entangled in your net

# My luck's turned thrawn Always the quayside chores

# A sister on each arm

# Strong of shoulder Weak at the knees

# Cargill I'm the finest catch that you'll land

# Cargill Do not presume to understand

# The dread of counting home the fleet

# The sudden thrill of seeing you're safely back

# Your catch has fallen at your feet

# Cargill Do not presume to understand

# The dread of sounding the alarm

# The sudden thrill of seeing you're safely back

# Cargill I'm the finest luck that you'll charm

# Injustice on its knees underground

# The clawed-out tonnage is to our detriment

# In these clarty surrounds

# The combined earnings of our tenements

# Won't stretch to many rounds

# And yet we're striving to be counted

# We'll fight for what is right

# And we'll strike for what is rightfully ours

# And I want better for my boy

# To bury my father in dry consecrated ground

# You've got to rise

# I'm clinging on to my homeland

# My fingers clawing earth, peat and sand

# My back's still hurting bad

# But my eyes are still attached

# To a vivid dream of lousing times

# And the promise of my leaf piece

# In the furrows of my bag

# And in my laughter lines

# I hear the songs my father sang

# I have but half the voice he had

# I keep it harnessed, rein it in

# Until the sun it melts on the horizon

# That's when I clap eyes upon my lass

# And I find I'm singing like a lark

# My voice is calloused and my back is choked

# And out of earthen clods my heart will soar

# For now my tongue is held

# And my wheesht is haud

# But for now my tongue is held

# And my wheesht is haud. #

# And we all just carry on dancing

# With a healthy disregard for the steps

# Not one of us pauses for corrections

# And yet Dougie Paul stopped dead

# How is that fair?

# Take one of us instead

# Take one of us older ones instead

# And we all just carry on dancing

# And we all just carry on dancing

# Into a cold grave as still as it gets

# As still as it gets

# As still as it gets. #

# I'm done with being brave

# Oh, how we slaved to pave our way

# And only to be dropped upon this quay

# And only to be pressganged overseas

# Is this the end of the beginning

# Or the beginning of the end?

# These miserable strangers

# Will be the making of our friends

# They've been dropped upon this quay

# Just the same as you and me

# With each step forward

# There's two looks back

# And you're so bewildered and sad

# Yet you know we'll have the new life

# That we talked of loud and proud

# Hug them hard and hold them dear

# For we'll soon forget these faces in the crowd blurred by our tears

# And yet we'll miss them year on year

# So let's pull ourselves together

# Like the others throw our hats into the air

# And try to raise a hearty cheer

# At the back of my mind

# I was always hoping

# I might just get by

# At the back of my mind

# I was always hoping

# I might just get by

# Always hoping

# I might just get by

# At the back of my mind

# I was always hoping

# I might just get by

# At the back of my mind

# I was always hoping

# I might just get by

# Always

# Hoping I

# Might just get by

# Always

# Hoping that I

# I might just get by. #
