(Dick/Boult/Simmonds)
2
He met the world as a Dalkeith boy,
3
raised from a shaft at Monktonhall
4
In a well oiled cage,
5
That locked away his dreams,
6
An '85 veteran face from the gallery,
7
A ghost from the civil war in the family
8
He stood his ground on the picketline
9
'Til all that he was left with
10
Were his father's cough
11
And his mother's eyes
12
That would hold a tear
13
For the very first time
14
When the government took his job away.
15
Now fist in hand he'll stand in line
16
Declare his name and mark his time
17
To some the only proof that they're alive
18
He could have been you
19
He could have been me
20
He could have been anybody
21
But he was born lucky
22
He made his first down payment
23
On a sharp Italian suit
24
He sewed razor blades into the lapels,
25
See him sweating on the dance floor,
26
Cool dust oozing out of every pore
27
A hard man with a hard life,
28
And that's a story that he'll tell you
29
Down at Easter Road till his throat is raw
30
On a Saturday, he knows the score
31
Till the whistle blows and,
32
The colours with their tempers fade away.
33
He could have been you
34
He could have been me
35
He could have been anybody
36
But he was born lucky
37
On the helipads at Aberdeen,
38
Bound for platforms drilling oil rich seas,
39
Where the trawlers are getting fewer every year.
40
By the furnaces at Ravenscraig,
41
By the padlocks holding John Brown's gates,
42
In the desert, in the fields of South Armagh,
43
Where the poppies grow,
44
Behind the Hampden roar,
45
Behind the drums in Genoa.
46
On the deck that rides a South Atlantic swell,
47
Born to figh tout of the tightest corner.
48
You can bet on him with the odds against you.
49
They'll not put him down
50
No matter how they try.
