SWEET SURRENDER
Mother Glasgow
In the second city of the Empire
Mother Glasgow watches all her weans
Trying hard to feed her little starlings
Unconsciously she clips their little wings
Mother Glasgow's succor is perpetual
Nestling the Billy and the Tim
I dreamt I took a dander with St. Mungo
To try to catch a fish that couldnay swim
Mother Glasgow's succor is perpetual
Nestling the Billy and the Tim
I dreamt I took a dander with St. Mungo
To try to catch a fish that couldnay swim
Among the flightless birds and sightless starlings
Father Glasgow knows his starlings well
He wont make his own way up to heaven
By waltzing all his charges in to hell
Mother Glasgow's succour is perpetual
Nestling the Billy and the Tim
I dreamt I took a dander with St. Mungo
To try to catch a fish that couldnay swim
And the tree
And the fish
And the bird
And the bell
Let Glasgow flourish!
Glasgow Joe
'Cause You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Sunlight in your eyes
Strolling down the London Road
Close to Paradise
Glasgow Green it is your playground
The City is your world
And you fell for her passion and her pain
You went marching out for Cuba
Long before you saw her shores
Standing with the West Bank
Against its bloody war
You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Justice is your name
And you fell for her passion and her pain
You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
The city's in your heart
With your people in the East End
You grow to play your part
And Maclean's down in the shipyards
The tanks are in George Square
And you fell for her passion and her pain
You went marching out for Cuba
Long before you saw her shores
Standing with the West Bank
Against its bloody war
'Cause you're real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Justice is your name
And you fell for her passion and her pain
'Cause You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Sunlight's in your eyes
As you're strolling down the London Road
Close to Paradise
Glasgow Green was your playground
The City your world
And you fell for her passion and her pain
Yes you fell for her passion and her pain
'Cause you fell for her passion and her pain
