offers up every week on BBC Radio Scotland.

Coming up in tonight's show...

Sophie Ellis Bextor, Paul Carrack...

..The Divine Comedy,

Frightened Rabbit,

But first, it was a joy to welcome one of Scotland's greatest bands

to the Quay Sessions - the mighty Teenage Fanclub.

# You came to me

# With your arms opened wide

# You don't know what you mean to me

# Girl, I owe you my life

# It feels good with you next to me

# That's enough, that's enough

# This is not such a mystery

# I'm in love with your love

# There is pain in this world

# I can see it in your eyes

# It's so hard to stay alive

# At the edge of the night

# Well, it feels good when you're close to me

# That's enough, that's enough

# We will fade into history

# I'm in love with your love

# It feels good when you're close to me

# That's enough, that's enough

# And I like your trajectory

# I'm in love with your love. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# There's a look in your eye

# That says you want to be carefree tonight

# Just like in days gone by

# When we were wild

# Darling, I'm not so uptight

# And I can still put my mind on the flipside

# Cos I'm a soul resigned to a mundane line

# Why be so ordinary? Why just conform?

# Let's rip the night in half and forget it all

# So keep the engine running under the stars

-# I feel release is coming tonight it's ours

-Running wild

-# We shouldn't fight the way we feel

-Wild forever

-# When it comes from somewhere real

-Running wild

-# A garden always in full bloom

-Wild forever

-# That's how I think of me and you

-Running wild

-# And if escape is what we need

-Wild forever

# When it comes to you and me

# We should just surrender

# Stay wild forever

# It's like a secret we hold

# And the adventures we go on are untold

# You've got to lose yourself

# To find your way back home

# Why be so ordinary? Why just conform?

# Let's rip the night in half and forget it all

# So keep the engine running under the stars

-# I feel release is coming tonight it's ours

-Running wild

-# We shouldn't fight the way we feel

-Wild forever

-# When it comes from somewhere real

-Running wild

-# A garden always in full bloom

-Wild forever

-# That's how I think of me and you

-Running wild

-# And if escape is what we need

-Wild forever

# When it comes to you and me

# We should just surrender Stay wild forever

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

# We just have to surrender we know, we know

-# We just have to surrender

-Running wild

-# We shouldn't fight the way we feel

-Wild forever

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Getting your fix on Friday night

# Get your fix on Friday night

# I could hardly say goodnight

# To the feeling

# If I wanted to

# Want it too

# If I want it too

# Want it too

# Where's a piece of paradise?

# Where's a piece of paradise?

# I could hardly say goodbye

# To the fever in your eyes

# And all of this

# Is so incomparable

# And all of this

# Is what you do when you want it too

# Want it too

# For you

# For you

# For you

# For you

# For you

# For you

# I want it too

# Want it too

# If I want it too

CHEERING

Still to come, a very special set from Frightened Rabbit,

complete with string section - very fancy -

and the great Paul Carrack.

But first, here's Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy.

This is called Tonight We Fly.

APPLAUSE

# Tonight we fly

# Over the houses

# The streets and the trees

# Over the dogs down below

# They'll bark at our shadows

# As we float by on the breeze

# Tonight we fly

# Over the chimney tops

# Skylights and slates

# Looking into all your lives

# And wondering why

# Happiness is so hard to find

# Over the doctor

# Over the soldier

# Over the farmer

# Over the poacher

# Over the preacher

# Over the gambler

# Over the teacher

# Over the writer

# Over the lawyer

# Over the dancer

# Over the voyeur

# Over the builder

# And the destroyer

# Over the hills and far away

# Tonight we fly

# Over the mountains

# The beach and the sea

# Over the friends that we've known

# And those that we now know

# And those whom we've yet to meet

# And when we die

# Oh, will we be that

# Disappointed or sad?

# If heaven doesn't exist

# What will we have missed?

# This life is the best we've ever had. #

Thank you so much.

CHEERING

All right, this is only the second time this has been played live.

The first time was all right, but my guitar wasn't plugged in.

So, if anything, it'll be better than that.

# It was dawn

# And the kitchen light was still on

# I stepped in

# Found the suicide asleep on the floor

# An open mouth

# Screams and makes no sound

# Apart from the ring

# Of the tinnitus of silence

# You had your ear to the ground

# White noise

# I don't know if there's breathing or not

# Butterflied arms

# Tell me that this one has flown

# Blood seems black

# Against the skin on your porcelain back

# A still life

# Is the last I will see of you

# A painting of a panic attack

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last night

# You died in my sleep last

# Death dreams I don't forget

# It's been a while since I dreamed this but

# Even now when asleep I'll tread with care

# Death dreams I don't forget

# It's been a while since I dreamed this but

# Even now when asleep I'll tread with care

# Death dreams I don't forget

# It's been a while since I dreamed this but

# Even now when asleep I'll tread with care

# Death dreams I don't forget

# It's been a while since I dreamed this but

# Even now when asleep I'll tread with care. #

Thank you. Cheers.

Thank you, folks.

First song I ever wrote now, back in 1974.

More than welcome to make some noise on this.

We want to hear you sing, we know you can sing. Give us some.

It's going to be a great song.
