歌曲歌詞
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu
And you sit there
and ask me to tell you the story so far
This is the story so far
Shuffling your memories dealing
your doodles in margins
You scrawl out your poems
across a beermat or two
And when you declare the point of grave creation
They turn round
and you to tell them the story so far
This is the story so far
And you listen with a tear in you eye
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply
Is Slàinte Mhath
Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie
Parading their anecdotes
tired from old campaigns
Holding their own last orders
commanding attention
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far
This is the story so far
Take it away
Take it away
Take it away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
From the dream on the barbed
wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen
From a Clydeside that rusts
from the tears of its broken men
From the realisation
that all we've been left behind
Is to stand like our fathers
before us in the firing line
Waiting on the whistle to blow
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
They promised us miracles
and the whistle still blows
Broken promises but the whistle still blows
Waiting on the wistle to blow
We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow
