Chorus Yes, Yes, we say Yes Tell them on the TV tell them on the press I want my country I want no less No more London doldrums Mining born and mining bred It kept us warm but now its dead We turned our backs and they shot us in the head Take these London doldrums Don't leave us Scotland please say no Davy Bowie tells us so If we're a burden then let us go Farewell to London doldrums Chorus 36 papers on The side of No and we've got one Roll up your sleeves and get it done Fight these London doldrums Lord George Robertson has told The world we're nasty, brash and bold Forces of evil will unfold Dark Star London doldrums Chorus For forty years the oil's been spent On nuclear submarines and then It's time to give them back and Keep them in their London doldrums Blame the refugees and poor For all your troubles are you sure? The bankers get scot-free, the same Etonian London doldrums Chorus Take us forward lead the way A new society can say To the world we're here and here to stay End these London doldrums We come from England, Pakistan Highlands. Lowlands and Iran We all believe Yes, Yes we can The work has just begun. Chorus x2

The United Colours of Cumnock My town is a green town, but it's not a 'fuck the queen' green town, it's a tree in every scene town, wae gairdens freshly dug. That's green that pours through every crack, through pavements, viaducts, fitba' parks, where men who suffer heart attacks, go walks wae three-leg dugs. My town is a blue town, a 'who the fuck are you' town, a 'what school did you go to' town and 'are you one of us?' That's blue that seeps through doors and walls, fae pubs and bookies, village halls, where men would guard old Derry's walls, instead o' guarding us. These towns are built from bricks and steel From wages earned under the wheel Into the black the men were sent Where nane o mine will go My town was once a red town, another miner dead town, a men who fought and bled town, wae brave and stalwart wives. That's red that came fae meeting rooms, fae folk that worked the pumps and looms. when burgh bands played different tunes, and we marched for better lives. These towns are built from bricks and steel From wages earned under the wheel Into the black the men were sent Where nane o mine will go But now my town's a grey town, a 50 mils a day town, a watch life slip away town, a tunnel wae nae light. That's grey that weeps fae dying eyes, bewildered parents, children's cries, wae skinny arms and stick-like thighs, and nae strength left to fight These towns are built from bricks and steel From wages earned under the wheel Into the black the men were sent Where nane o mine will go
