lyrics

500 feet up

500 feet up wi nae harness an’ ner a net atween us
but we a had oor hard hats on
tae protect oor heids if we fell aff

the returning hero’s o’ the first Forth Road Bridge
came back tae see the new ain
they were astonished at the auld ain they’d build
in the days when men were hard as nails

and they pondered on the new wan wi’
its computers and mod cons
“wi just a slide rule, pencil and paper
how did we manage tae build that”
