Flat Earth Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Its quite likely that nobody will ever hear this song, Susan thinks its pish, but fukkit, you can have the words. This was my song... Chorus Well they didn't like the Wallace cos he was a common man They think Robert Burns is braw but they dinnae understand He spoke for the common people when he cried a mans a man Well Scotlands had enough and we're taking back our land 1 Well we joined this blessed Union 'round 300 years ago But there's something 'bout this Union that they don't want you to know It was founded on corruption and our history does show When it comes to taking bribes Westminster is the place to go 2 First they banned the pipes and gaelic, outlawed tartan and the clans Turned the chieftains into landlords, drove the people from their lands Now Scotland is their playground they want us to understand They know best for all of us and everything is grand 3 Well our fortunes should have changed when we struck oil in the north sea McCrone wrote that it would transform Scotlands economy But Westminster kept it secret and then lied to you and me They gave us back a fraction and they called it subsidy 4 We've had Thatcher and the poll tax and some rammy over coal Sold our phones and trains and water, put a nation on the dole Well now there's not much left the NHS is their next goal If we don't do something soon they're going to sell your sorry soul 5 We've got think tanks and big business setting all our policies Finding clever ways to channel private wealth across the seas To their secret offshore havens while a nation on its knees Begs and scrapes a living through these new austerities 6 Well now Cameron Clegg and Osborne think that they're the ones in charge Cos their parents have a title, and their bank accounts are large Oh you cannae huv the pound - you'll get flung oot o' the EU But the canny Scots ken fine that they dinnae huv a clue 7 We've got food banks and the bedroom tax but bankers get a rise When you vote for Tories dusnae come as a surprise The rich get all the breaks the poor get by on less and less Well Scotlands had enough and Scotlands voting YES!

gallus79 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Can anyone upload 'Hope over fear' by Gerry Cinnamon. Been trying last hour but iPhone is sayin NO!! It's doing the rounds on Facebook, potential song for the stands. And the verse to Runrig's Recovery is very apt- I can't believe that's its taken all this time I can't believe my life and destiny After all the clans, after all the clearing's Here I am, Recovering.

Red Label Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Maybe I should have said... Hope over Fear - by Gerry Cinnamon "here's a song I wrote 5 mins ago"..... Hope Over FearAre you threatened by words from an empire of money and gold? Will you trade in your countries potential for the lies you've been sold? Are you scared that the walls are too high to be breached by the bold? Will you stand and be counted, or shut up and do what yer told? Hope over fear - Don't be afraid Tell Westminster Tories that Scotland's no longer yer slave Carpe Diem - will you seize the day? Rip the chains from the unicorn - Show them that Scotland is brave. Did the TV man call you a nationalist, for rejecting the lies? Are the words of a few worth a bob, cos they wear shirts n ties? When they tell ye that Scotland's not great - are ye really surprised? Will ye stand and be counted for something that money can't buy? Hope over fear - Don't be afraid Tell Westminster Tories that Scotland's no longer yer slave Carpe Diem - will you seize the day? Rip the chains from the Unicorn - Show them that Scotland is brave Are you happy that nuclear weapons are dumped in the Clyde? Fighting wars for the wealth of a few, how many have died? You can bury my bones but the truth of it can't be denied. Will you stand and be counted cos I'll be there stood by your side. Hope over fear - Don't be afraid Tell Westminster Tories that Scotland's no longer yer slave Carpe Diem - will you seize the day? Rip the chains from the Unicorn - Show them that Scotland is brave Well the media tell you that England don't want you to go, And the taxpayer funded MPs tell you "just tell em No" But in Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield they already know. That we're fighting for them, and it's only the start of the show. Hope over fear - Don't be afraid Tell Westminster Tories that Scotland's no longer yer slave Carpe Diem - will you seize the day? Rip the chains from the Unicorn - Show them that Scotland is brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse Eddie Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well the polling stations will be closed in 48 hrs so might as well post this one last time. To a well known tune by a '60s band Yes today Let’s all go and vote for Yes today It’s a chance for us to have our say Oh, I believe in Yes today Suddenly, We can be what we want to be And there’s a chance for us all to see If Yes today came suddenly Why they, wanted No I don’t know, I couldn’t say If there’s, Something wrong, how I long for Yes today Yes today Life would be a better game to play Wouldn’t need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in Yes today Why they, wanted No I don’t know, I couldn’t say If there’s, Something wrong, how I long for Yes today Yes today Life would be a better game to play Wouldn’t need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in Yes today Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Ardeer Thistle Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My two are already mentioned....dawning of the day - today, while there's still some hope, and Scotland will flourish - tomorrow, when we will probably have to pick ourselves up from the most depressing political moment of our lives.
