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

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....

Midland Bluebird
Sailing through the tides, through the tides of your mind - leaving all your worries miles, miles behind!
You just move forward there's no need to hide - you're safe on a Mindland Bluebird.
The driver's smile is priceless, she's working for McGills - I can see the sun set over the Ochil Hills
I don't mind the ticket price - for me it's cheap thrills -
bein' driven through my homeland on a Mindland Bluebird
I dare you to look a stranger in the eye - strike up a conversation - it's funny what you find!
People can be surprisingly kind - no time like on a ride through the countryside
Driven through your homeland on a Midland Bluebird
(CH)
Well, come out of yourself - let the outside in - find a place to picnic or go ramblin'
Gonna find some zen space in the sunshine - got a day pass - you can take your time!
One of these days where you don't make plans at all - just head off somewhere nice -
Wherever the eye falls - scenic routes are undoubtedly preferred
Driven through your homeland on a Mindland Bluebird!
