# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# I don't hear what you're sayin' Don't care what you're doin'

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# Went to the movies and the movie broke down

# The picture on the screen was going round and round

# Spent all I had getting in to see the show

# So I walked up to the man and I said I'd like to go so

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# I don't hear what you're sayin' Don't care what you're doin'

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# Heard the preacher man say his way was the best

# Took up his religion and forgot about the rest

# Then I heard another one calling out my name

# When I took a closer look he was just the same

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# I don't hear what you're sayin' Don't care what you're doin'

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# Listen to the lies of the politician man

# Saying that we live in a democratic land

# One law for the rich Another for the poor

# And if you try to change it They'll nail you to the floor

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# I don't hear what you're sayin' Don't care what you're doin'

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir?

# Don't hear what you're sayin' Don't care what you're doin'

# Can I have my money back Money back, money back?

# Can I have my money back please, sir? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, thank you!

That was the opening song, Can I Have My Money Back?,

the title track from Gerald's first album,

back in 1971, and...

..that album was made at a time when we were forming Stealers Wheel

and we were all living in a house together

in Sandhurst Road in Tunbridge Wells.

And there was a very small person was moving around the house at that time

and that was Martha, who is with me here.

APPLAUSE And...

We'd like to think of this as a commemoration, yes,

but a celebration, as well, of the life and work

of Gerry Rafferty.

APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, The Proclaimers!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Oh, Mattie, open up the door That's right I'm home again

# You've got a big surprise in store Turn round and count to ten

# Wait till you see what I got you Well, you'll see it's a magic thing

# It's like an old mandolin man

# You just wind him up and he starts to sing

# I've been away for quite a while And I want to hear all your news

# Speak to me, let me see you smile Cos I've had those homesick blues

# When I go down to the city

# I just don't know wrong from right

# When I go back to you, Mattie Well, you make me see the light

# Aih, aih, aih, eeh

# Aih, aih, aih, eeh

# Love is a singular thing It can take you up or bring you down

# Yes, love is a song that I sing

# So come on now, Mattie Listen to the sound

# When you grow up we'll sit and talk Of how things used to be

# I'll be a grand old man of rock With all these memories. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you!

-The Proclaimers, everybody!

Rab and Gerry and I were very good friends. Billy Connolly...

and, particularly, there was a hardcore of about six or seven of us

used to travel around in Scotland and make music together unofficially.

You know, this thing about, we're doing tonight,

we kind of did that in an informal way.

Sitting with our backs against a wall,

sitting on a floor in people's houses singing in three-part harmonies.

We, kind of, we grew up on that kind of thing.

This is brilliant being here.

A room full of Gerry Rafferty fans!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

You know I'd swap every single thing to have him sitting in the front row.

Thank you very much.

This is a song Martha asked me if I would sing tonight.

# Well, we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

# While the spirits come and go without a sound

# And just like you and me They're tryin' to find a way

# Find a way Find a way home

# There's a full moon in the sky But that don't worry me

# I don't ever hang my soul Out on the line

# When the witchin' hour comes I always fly away

# Fly away Fly away home

# There's a light in the city That comes down from above

# Leavin' you as wise as a serpent Harmless as a dove

# Don't blow your tomorrows Don't throw away your love

# You've got to be as wise as a serpent

# Harmless as a dove

# Now you once asked me why we can't communicate

# But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth

# If I told you right now You'd only run away

# Run away Run away home

# So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

# While the spirits come and go without a sound

# Yeah just like you and me They're tryin' to find a way

# Find a way Find a way home

# There's a light in the city that comes down from above

# Leavin' you as wise as a serpent Harmless as a dove

# Don't blow your tomorrows Don't throw away your love

# You've got to be as wise as a serpent

# Harmless as a dove

# Ahh, oh, oh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

When I was in high school and it was at this, that sort of,

period of music when there was a lot of bad music on the radio, you know?

And then Gerry was one of the few, I mean, I would hear, you know,

Baker Street and Right Down The Line and it was...

I always liked melodic music and so that appealed to me, right?

So, I was always curious about him and then...

You know, I didn't realise at the time that he was also the guy

from Stealers Wheel, as well,

and, of course, I heard that song growing up a lot, too.

And, erm... But it was just one of those, erm,

yeah, I was just, sort of, drawn to it, you know.

Well, Right Down The Line has always been my favourite song by Gerry Rafferty,

so that was one of the ones, when they first asked me, I was, like, "I hope that's not taken."

# You know I need your love

# You got that hold over me

# As long as I got your love

# You know that I'll never leave

# When I wanted you to share my life

# I had no doubt in my mind

# It's been you, woman

# Right down the line

# I know the way I lean on you

# Only you can see

# The changes that I've been through

# Have left their mark on me

# You've been as constant as the Northern Star

# The brightest light that shines

# It's been you woman

# Right down the line

# I just want to say this is my way

# Of telling you everything I could never say before

# Yeah, this is my way

# Of telling you every day

# I'm loving you so much more

# You believed in me

# Through my darkest night

# Put something better inside of me

# You brought me into the light

# Threw away all those crazy dreams

# I put them all behind

# It's been you, woman

# Right down the line

# I just want to say this is my way

# Of telling you everything I could never say before

# Yeah, this is my way

# Of telling you every day I'm loving you so much more

# If I should doubt myself

# If I'm losing ground

# I won't turn to someone else

# They'd only let me down

# When I wanted you to share my life

# I had no doubt in my mind

# It's been you woman

# Right down the line

# Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

# Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

# Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

# You got a hold on me

# Right down the line. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much!

Thank you.

Martha, Gerry's daughter, and I had a discussion after Gerry's funeral,

after the funeral,

about how we should, kind of, preserve some kind of legacy

and the idea came around to it being,

"It has to be something based around his song", really.

Because the songs were what Gerry Rafferty lived for, that was his artwork,

and he expressed himself greatly through songs.

And so building a concert around his work

and inviting a number of interesting artists to come and perform them

was the order of the day.

# Moonlight and gold

# Midsummer magic When the night meets the day

# And songbirds greet the dawn

# You lie awake

# You watch and wonder While the moon fades away

# And one more day is born

# Tides keep on turning

# While hearts keep on yearning

# To be where they know they belong

# All on a new day You see in a new way

# The things you've been leaning upon

# Moonlight and gold

# I will awaken to a love that runs deeper

# Than the need in me

# While you are sleeping The new day comes creeping

# And life keeps on passing you by

# Magic unfolds When the blue meets the gold

# And the sun comes to open your eyes

# Moonlight and gold

# Midsummer magic As the night turns to day

# And songbirds greet the dawn

# You lie awake

# You watch and wonder While the moon fades away

# And one more day is born

# Moonlight and gold. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

# Late again

# When I get home

# You'll be waiting

# Still you know

# There ain't no use In you complaining

# I know that I

# Can show some respect

# Especially when I'm wrong

# But when I get back

# I know you'll say

# You've been away too long

# Ooh

# I wonder why I stay

# When everybody's gone

# Yeah

# There's always something there

# To keep me hanging on

# Ooh, woo-oh-oh

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# Ooh

# I wonder why I stay

# When everybody's gone away

# There's always something there

# To keep me hanging on

# Ooh

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# La-la-la

# I know that I

# Could show some respect

# Especially when I'm wrong

# Late again

# When I get home You'll be waiting. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Emma Pollock!

I met Gerry a few times, but I wouldn't say that I knew him.

But through the music, I think I knew him quite, quite well.

Do you think that there will be a new generation of people

that will come and listen to Gerry's work,

-now that things like this have happened?

-Well, I hope so.

You can never tell with things like that, with songs and music,

what carries on, but I'm sure this, this stuff is classic,

classic music, that will last.

# In a dance hall by the river

# I was singing with a rambling band

# Just another small town night

# With a silver moon shining

# I remember when I saw you

# That first moment when it all began

# You looked across a crowded room

# You stole my heart away

# And we stood outside In the moonlight

# In the shadow of a factory wall

# Music playing soft and low

# And a gentle breeze sighing

# And the light on the river was magic

# Yes a magic that I still recall

# Moments come and moments go

# But these moments still remain

# Remember how we met

# Down by the waterside

# How easily we forget

# All the love that we knew

# So we married our fortunes together

# Sealed it with a golden band

# Somewhere down along the road

# We could see the flame dying

# But an exiled heart grows weary

# Like two strangers in a foreign land

# Reached the point of no return

# A long, long time ago

# Remember how we met

# Down by the waterside

# How easily we forget

# All the love that we knew

# Oh, oh, oh, ooh

# Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh

# Oh, oh, oh, ooh

# Oh ooh ooh oh oh oh

# Hey, hey, yeah, yeah

# Yeah

# Ooh, oh, oh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you!

Well, you know, I mean, it's very hard to, sort of,

get into his songs and take them apart, you know?

Being a songwriter myself, I hate, in a way, to deconstruct songs,

because it kind of takes the mystery out of them.

But that song in particular,

One Drink Down And Another To Go, there's awful lot going in there.

Sometimes, one of the things that fascinates me about Gerry's writing

is, I think he, sometimes in the middle of a song

he will change character

and, like, he will have two people singing the same lyric

or, you know, two different people come into the song.

In this song, I'm not sure whether it's,

he's actually expressing himself

or whether he's putting words in his father's mouth.

# To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car

# I took myself one Friday evening

# To think on a son so deceiving

# It's one drink down and another to go

# He was married in haste to a woman unchaste

# Much to the shame of the father

# His face still half-covered in lather

# It's one drink down and another to go

# It's one drink down and another to go

# When I pass through the town I must hang my head low

# It's one drink down

# And another to go

# Now I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand

# A woman whose virtue is easy

# Just as long as she doesn't deceive me

# It's one drink down And another to go

# Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife

# You might wake up in the morning

# And find that she's left without warning

# It's one drink down and another to go

# It's one drink down and another to go

# When I pass through the town I must hang my head low

# It's one drink down

# And another to go

# And it's one drink down and another to go

# When I pass through the town I must hang my head low

# It's one drink down and another

# To go. #

APPLAUSE

Thank you. Thank you, Martha!

Thanks, see later!

Anybody who knew Gerry

and knew his work would know that harmony was very important to him.

It was very important in the music that he made,

but it was also a very important thing spiritually and inwardly.

And he grew up with two brothers.

Gerry's brothers were called Jim, was the next one,

and then Joey was the eldest one.

And Joey and his wife Moira had five children

and they are all here tonight to sing for you in harmony with Martha.

Please welcome...

APPLAUSE

# When we were young we used to sing

# And we could feel the harmony

# You sit there waiting

# In the wings

# How long have you been waiting

# To let your light shine?

# Many years have gone since then

# Seen us go our different ways

# But now we sit here once again

# Tonight, we're going to sing out

# Tonight, our light will shine

# This is the time and place

# To bring out our memories

# It's written on every face

# I can see it in you You can see it in me

# In all the years we had

# As part of a family tree

# We knew the good and bad

# I can see it in you You can see it in me

# I know it's left its mark on you

# I see the same things in myself

# You know there's nothin' we can't do

# We've been a long time waitin' But some things never die

# It's time to leave all that behind

# It's time to lay that ghost to rest

# We can't deny the ties that bind

# Tonight, we're going to sing out

# Tonight, our light will shine

# This is the time and place

# To bring out our memories

# It's written on every face

# I can see it in you You can see it in me

# In all the years we had When we were young we used to sing

# As part of a family tree We could feel the harmony

# We knew the good and bad

# I can see it in you You can see it in me

# When we were young we used to sing. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

First time I met Gerry Rafferty was in Billy Connelly's dad's house,

in White Street in Partick, in February of 1969,

on the day of the evening of The Humblebums' first major concert, in the City Halls.

And Billy had invited a few people to come and be part of this concert

and I'm lucky enough to say I was one of them.

And we convened at Billy's dad's house in the afternoon

to go over the songs that we were going to sing in that evening

and amongst them was the song that you're about to hear.

A very poignant version, I think, at the piano, from Mr Roddy Hart.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

# The book I gave her that she never read

# She left without a single word to say

# Her father didn't like me, anyway

# She always wanted more than I could give

# She wasn't happy with the way we lived

# I didn't feel like asking her to stay

# Her father didn't like me anyway

# Daddy never knew what she'd seen in me

# Said that I was going nowhere

# Maybe if we had talked he'd have seen something in me

# But Daddy didn't really care

# To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve

# I know I only got what I deserved

# So now she's taken leave of me today

# Her father didn't like me anyway

# Daddy never knew what she'd seen in me

# He said that I was going nowhere

# Maybe if we had talked he'd have seen something in me

# But Daddy didn't really care

# The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

# The book I gave her that she never read

# She left without a single word to say

# Her father didn't like me anyway. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you very much.

I think everybody is aware of Gerry's music.

I was saying that earlier, the thing with his songs

is that everybody is aware,

but people don't realise that they're his songs

and I was in that camp

but, obviously, I'm aware of, you know, Baker Street and...

you know, just... You know, everybody knows certain songs.

But I, you know, even the fact that he was in Stealers Wheel,

kind of, I was aware of it, but you don't really think about it.

You just realise,

you look at the length and breadth of the work and it's staggering.

Like, the man has written some incredible songs

that are just indelible, that will just be for ever.

# Well, here I am

# Back in town

# This desert sand

# Is comin' down

# Warm wind blowin'

# Through the trees

# Watch them swing

# Watch them sway

# Lie here waiting for the day

# Yeah, yeah

# Sleep won't come

# I need a drink

# Stop my head

# Don't want to think

# Wishing I

# Was here with you

# But I know you're so far away

# And I'm here waiting for the day

# Yeah, yeah

# Water of life Bring your light down on me

# Take me out of this darkness Sweet star of the sea

# Water so sweet You can open my eyes

# You can bring down the rain On this desert so dry

# Out on the street

# It's time to go

# The silence speaks

# Hear it call

# City of

# The living dead

# Count the lights on the motorway

# Lie here waiting for the day

# Yeah, yeah

# Ooh, let's go

# Water of life Pour your light down on me

# Take me out of this darkness Sweet star of the sea

# Water so sweet

# You can open my eyes

# You can bring down the rain On this desert so dry

# Yes, here I am

# Back in town

# Just as the night

# Is comin' down

# Warm wind blowin'

# Through the trees

# I watch them swing

# I watch them sway

# I lie here waiting for the day

# Yeah, yeah

# All right

# All right

# Yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Ooh, yeah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you!

This is one of those songs that is, kind of, you know,

it made me want to become, you know, do this in living.

So it's cool that I get to do that one tonight.

# You still got that light in your eyes

# Our day is comin' by and by

# Travelling this long road here with you

# We still gotta long way Still gotta long way to go

# The first time I set eyes on you

# I listened to you sing Yeah, yeah

# We didn't have to speak For the words said everything

# When you walked into my life

# We were on our way, yeah

# So long ago But it seems like yesterday

# I just want to tell ya

# You still got that light in your eyes

# Yes, you do

# Our day is comin' by and by

# Travel this long road here with you

# Still gotta long way Still gotta long way to go

# Now some of my best memories

# Are days I spent with you Yeah, yeah

# Each time we hit the road it was always something new

# Spaced out rather drunk Singing in the sun, yeah, yeah

# Another bottle down And the new day just begun

# I just want to tell ya

# You still got that light in your eyes

# Yes, you do

# And our day is comin' by and by

# Travel this long road here with you

# We still gotta long way We still gotta long way to go

# Shine a light Shine it bright on the days gone down

# Shine a light Shine it bright on the days gone down

# Shine a light Shine it bright on the days gone down

# We won't forget the days gone down

# They're written in our hearts Yeah, yeah

# As much in tune As we were right from the start

# All seems so much harder now

# Seemed so easy then Yeah, yeah

# Maybe someday just for fun We might do it all again

# I just want to tell ya

# You still got that light in your eyes

# Yes, you do

# Our day is comin' by and by

# Travel this long road here with you

# Travel this long road here with you

# We still got a long way Still got a long way to go. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

What you think are the special things

that make a Gerry Rafferty song? Is melody?

It's melody, and harmony, and chord sequence for me.

He's one of the most...

Unusual melody writers against an unpredictable chord progression

and that's what music, for me, is really all about.

That's the thing that drives me, as a writer.

# To each and every one of you

# I say goodbye, farewell, adieu

# To each and all I say goodbye

# I know it's been fun but we're living a lie

# You said you spoke straight from the heart

# But that was the one thing that kept us apart

# Cos when I read between the lines

# I saw that the only heart speaking was mine

# To each and every one of you

# I say goodbye

# Indeed, I do

# If you should ask me why I go

# I wouldn't say, cos you should know

# When everything is said and done

# Nothing is lost and nothing is won

# I took from you You took from me

# But I suppose that's how it had to be

# To each and every one of you

# I say goodbye

# Indeed, I do

# If you should ask me why I go

# I wouldn't say, cos you should know

# To each and every one of you

# I say goodbye, farewell, adieu

# To each and all I say goodbye

# I know it's been fun but we're living

# A lie. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm singing a song called My Singing Bird and it was actually

Martha, his daughter, who contacted me originally about the show.

In was going through the songs and my initial thing was

I wrote the four or five songs that I would love to sing

and then I thought, "I'm not really going to do them justice."

I'd rather do something that I could make my own in a certain way,

because I think the point of taking someone's song is

doing something that reflects what you bring, I guess.

It's not any old singer-songwriter that would get me to put on a suit!

LAUGHTER

WOLF WHISTLE

Too kind!

# Sing your song to me

# My singing bird

# Let your voice ring loud

# So you'll be heard

# While you're here tonight

# We'll be as one

# For tomorrow

# You will seek the sun

# Sing your song to me

# My singing bird

# Let your voice ring loud

# So you'll be heard

# Just for a moment

# I'm asking you to stay

# For tomorrow

# You'll be far away

# As tomorrow

# Ohh

# Ohh!

# Oh

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

I'd like to return to 1971 and the birth of Stealers Wheel

and to join me on this,

I'd like to welcome Gerry's nephew, Mark Rafferty.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Mary Skeffington

# Close your eyes

# And make believe that you are just a girl again

# When you had something there to light the way

# Remember a holiday in a North of England town

# You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown

# Mary Skeffington

# When you wake

# You mustn't be afraid to face another day

# Think of what you have You'll get by

# You've always been a lady So hold your head up high

# Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your life

# Remember a man who asked you if you would be his wife

# Mary Skeffington, close your eyes

# And make believe that you are just a girl again

# When you had something there to light the way. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

How well do you think Gerry Rafferty will continue to be appreciated?

I think he'll probably be more appreciated

with the distance of time.

I think if you've got songs that release a vibe

and the quality is running through it,

I think those ones tend to be better appreciated as the years go by.

I think his work will stand the test of time.

# Now the night train is waitin'

# To take me away

# And I'm still feelin' guilty Cos you wanted me to stay

# Well, I know how I know

# It's harder on you

# Then you said it yourself There's nothing else we could do

# When the wheels start turnin'

Takin' me through the night

# Out there in the darkness There's a star shinin' bright

# And it makes me feel better

# Just to see it up there

# Hope you're thinkin' about it Hope you know I still care

# So goodnight

# Yeah, goodnight

# Goodnight train is going to carry me home

# So goodnight

# Yeah, goodnight

# Goodnight train is going to carry me home

# Well, I know you've been waiting

Thank you!

Some of you might know this one(!)

# Windin' your way down on Baker Street

# Light in your head and dead on your feet

# Well, another crazy day

# You'll drink the night away

# And forget about everything

# This city desert makes you feel so cold.

# It's got so many people but it's got no soul

# And it's taking you so long

# To find out you were wrong

# When you thought it had everything

# You used to think that it was so easy

# You used to say that it was so easy

# But you're tryin'

# You're tryin' now

# Another year and then you'll be happy

# Just one more year and then you'll be happy

# But you're cryin'

# You're cryin' now

# Way down the street there's a lad in his place

# He opens the door He's got that look on his face

# And he asks you where you've been

# You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything

# He's got this dream about buyin' some land

# He's going to give up the booze and the one-night stands

# And then he'll settle down Some quiet little town

# And forget about everything

# But you know he's gonna keep movin'

# You know he's never gonna stop movin

# Cos he's rollin'

# He's the rollin' stone

# And when you wake up it's a new mornin'

# The sun is shinin' it's a new morning

# You're goin'

# You're goin' home. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Woo!

-Thank you!

-And Paul Brady.

Would everyone come back on?

Two at a time, three at a time, whatever! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

# I got the feeling that something ain't right

# I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

# And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

# Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right

-# Here I am

-Stuck in the middle with you

# Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

# And I'm wondering what it is I should do

# It's so hard to keep the smile from my face

# I'm losing control Yeah, I'm all over the place

# Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right

-# Here I am

-Stuck in the middle with you

# Well, you started out with nothing

# And you're proud that you're a self-made man

# And your friends they all come crawlin'

# Slap you on the back and say, please

# Please

# Well, I'm trying to make some sense of it all

# But I can see it makes no sense at all

# Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?

# I don't think that I can take any more

# Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right

-# Here I am

-Stuck in the middle with you

# Well, you started out with nothing

# And you're proud that you're a self-made man

# And your friends they all come running

# Slap you on the back and say, please

# Please

# Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

# I got the feeling that something ain't right

# I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

# And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

# Here I am Stuck in the middle with you

# Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

# Yes, I'm Stuck in the middle with you

# Here I am Stuck in the middle with you. #
