2
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden
3
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
4
An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
5
Little did I know that even a heavy load
6
I found us walking Grierson's dockyards
7
Where the only thing working was foreign film crews
8
Making an impressive documentary
9
For the big news
10
To the satellite
11
And all we're left with is the black black oil
12
With a sense of pride and identity
13
The waters left behind we shouldn't forget
14
Laid low in the books of history
15
I saw the starlings wheel round Georgian spires
16
Gathering on patrol in the skies
17
In the distance burns the flame of Grangemouth
18
And the dream is lost
19
Everything what it could inspire
20
From the take you know there is no distance
21
How we talk about in the secret affairs
22
Taking our ride into the distance
23
To be what it was or could have been
24
What I should have said
25
And all we're left with is the black black oil
26
With a strong sense of national pride
27
'Till we take some more steps to unity
28
Take it back to me
29
Take it back
30
In a city run out of luck
31
And all we're left with is the black, black oil
32
With a strong sense of national pride
33
Calling the ... for identity
34
What it meant to me, what I said
35
What we could have had
36
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden
37
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
38
An evening news stuck deep in the pocket
39
Little did I know that he'd fall
40
Carrying a heavy load
41
And all we're left with is the black black oil
42
With a strong sense of national pride
43
Calling a name in the sake of unity
44
What it means to me you'll never know
45
You'll never know
46
I see myself forced in servant exile
47
Turning around at another's command
48
All I want to see is identity
49
What I could have been
50
What I did
51
Could have been
52
Internal exile
53
Internal exile
