1
(Fish, Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Pete Trewavas, Ian Mosley)
2
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
3
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm
4
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu
5
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far
6
This is the story so far
7
Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins
8
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two
9
And when you declare the point of grave creation
10
They turn round and you to tell them the story so far
11
This is the story so far
12
And you listen with a tear in you eye
13
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply
14
Is Slinte Mhath
15
Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie
16
Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns
17
Holding their own last orders commanding attention
18
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far
19
This is the story so far
20
Take it away
21
Take it away
22
Take it away
23
Take me away
24
Take me away
25
Take me away
26
Take me away
27
Take me away
28
From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen
29
From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men
30
From the realisation that all we've been left behind
31
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line
32
Waiting on the whistle to blow
33
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
34
They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows
35
Broken promises but the whistle still blows
36
Waiting on the wistle to blow
37
We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow
