1
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
2
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm
3
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu
4
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far
5
This is the story so far
6
Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins
7
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two
8
And when you declare the point of grave creation
9
They turn round and you to tell them the story so far
10
This is the story so far
11
And you listen with a tear in you eye
12
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply
13
Is Slainte Mhath
14
Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie
15
Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns
16
Holding their own last orders commanding attention
17
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far
18
This is the story so far
19
Take it away, take it away, take it away

Take me away, take me away, take me away

From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen
22
From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men
23
From the realisation that we've been left behind
24
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line
25
Waiting on the whistle to blow
26
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
27
They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows
28
Broken promises but the whistle still blows
29
Waiting on the whistle to blow
30
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
