Going Home To
Glasgow
A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.
I'm going home to Glasgow, its face is on my mind
Its laugh is loud and gallus, its arms are warm and kind
I need tae feel the ground underneath my feet
And hear the Glasgow sounds in the people that I meet

We're over Beattock Summit, we wave a winning fist
We're racing down the valley where the silver river twists
And now I hear the sound I know I'm Glasgow bound
The tyres are singing sweeter as the sun strikes through
the mist

The rails are reaching downwards, they point across the
plain
The miles I owe to Glasgow friends are running through
my brain
The restless engine glides towards the valley of the Clyde
With half-a-thousand homeward bound on the
London-Glasgow train

We soared above the Borders, the white clouds down
below
We caught the winding coastline in the early sunset glow
We're sliding down the sky, the green hills in our eye
We swing around the city and we skim the river low
