Here's a cry for every lie you tried but didn't know i saw

And a sigh for every poor man,and woman and child that you ignore

Here's some wounded sailors from fighting your war overseas

Good god almighty its pulling me down on my knees



But if you don't know where you hurt

Where you wound and you bite and you burn

Then you don't understand



Now i'm the man who crumbled five years into your plan

And i'm dreaming of days when my hands and face were oily and blackened

Finnieston's howling ghost ships are all i can see

But now i shiver and shift and i'm worried

So i drift -'cause i know that i'm beaten



But if you think we don't know that you know

Each time we tumble under your blows

Then you don't understand



Its goodbye tonight ,i'm catching the ten o'clock train

Its leaving central station and pulling out of this wind and this terminal rain



So its bye bye, glasgow

Bye bye baby goodbye

Ooh be lah , we na na

There's only so long you can try
