ARRIA - JAGGY THISTLE LYRICS

1. JAGGY THISTLE

SHE SAYS: "I will not apologise for how I'm made - I won't be afraid
But if I should - I'll sing a wee tune - or maybe I'll whistle
I am proud to be a jaggy wee thistle."

She's a radge, she's a radge, she's a wee radge
She's a radge, she's a radge,  but she's not that bad
Maybe she's just truly elemental
And he's a bam, he's a bam, he's a wee bam
What a cheek he's got callin' himself her man
But I guess it's fair : cos she drives him mental.

Puts on a mask for all the world but she's a wee lost Mary
Countin' magpies on the towpath, those wee birds are scary
Sometimes the world can make you radge and mouths can fire like pistols
It takes all sorts to make the world - some are roses - others: Jaggy Thistles.

She says I will not apologise for how I'm made - I won't be afraid
But if I should - I'll sing a wee tune - or maybe I'll whistle
I am proud to be a jaggy wee thistle.
Some are roses, others: Jaggy thistles

CHORDS: C, G, C/ C, F, G/Dm, Bb, C, D/ D, G, A, D

The Rosebank Roses

Walkin down the towpath along the Forth & Clyde - canals that froze in Wintertime - the Roses grew beside
The old distillery looked so grim - we used to turn away
I never thought I'd leave my home and find it back to life one day ohhh - one day - ohhh

Here's to the spirit of the age and to the earth and to Diageo - every gent and lady and to every other Gadgie Oh
Here's a tune now come oan doon tae Camelon near the auld Faw Kirk - many thanks to Ian Macleod - not too bad for four years work!
Founded by the Brothers Stark in Seventeen Ninety Eight - Shining with her newfound glory - it was worth the wait
I want to try a dram or two when the doors are open - with a crew of Mariners at the Beefeater I'm hoping.

Here's to the spirit of the age and to the earth and to Diageo - every gent and lady and to every other Gadgie Oh
Here's a tune now come oan doon tae Camelon near the auld Faw Kirk - many thanks to Ian Macleod - not too bad for four years work!

Roses on the waterbanks of the Forth & Clyde - canals that froze in Winter time - the swans we'd watch them glide
The old distillery looked so grim - we used to turn away - I never thought I'd leave my home and find it back to life one day
Oh One Day, Oh...One day...Oh One day. Ohhhh....

The Lonely Broomstick
(Melody: C C D C G E G. C. C. D. E. G. E. G/A A. G. A. G E. C. C. C. D. E. G. E. D. C)
 
There Is A Lonely Broomstick in the corner of my kitchen
I think that I should use it clean up the cobwebs in my way 
So I set to work believing I could clean the house by evening
So I sang a song or two to make the work feel more like play 
Then all at once I saw a spider and her baby right beside her
Thought to kill her but then thought kinder so I took some time to say 
"Hello Spidey what’s your flavour, I’m your landlord and your neighbour 
It would do me quite the favour if you’d get rout of my way"
But the spider she had bravery
“Huminoid I’m one for savoury
I’ve been working, call it slavery , all hard work and no good pay!”
So I leaned in to Miss Spider, must admit I did admire her
But still thought it right to bribe her
“You must justify your stay”.
“Well” she said “I’m well connected, more than most quite unexpected
I am up late on the web and more supplies are on their way 
You are talking to the top silk maker
And I’ll sell to the highest taker
I’m a top content creator
Just give me another day!"
“Well, I guess” said I to the spider, "build your web a little wider
You might be a great provider
Make me a silk scarf then you may."
So the spider tapped my finger and I went back to the house maid singer
Wondering what her fate would bring her, if she’d lied
She’d better pray
But as night turned into morning – gossamer was slowly forming 
Just as well as no flies came
And she would have not caught her prey
When I saw it I was go smacked at the silk scarf I now looked at
So I went straight to the pet shop and served her flies on a silver tray!
There is a lonely Broomstick
In the corner of my kitchen
I think that I should use it
Clean up the cobwebs in my way
