lyrics

Down at the central they don't like the blues

Verse 1
Ye can gae tae places full o Peggy Sues
Ye can turn up in yer blue sued shoes
Ye can listen tae music that naeb’dy else wid choose
But down at the Central they don’t like the blues

Verse 2
Ye can git intae kraftwork yase a’ types o glues
Ye can park the ark, bring them in in their twos
Ye can sing wi the volume o’ 100 Bill McCues
But down at the Central they don’t like the blues

Bridge
They will stand aboot an’ scratch their mous
They will walk aboot show af their tattoos
They will mak ye an offer ye canna refuse
But down at the Central they don’t like the blues

Verse 4
Ye can come along in yer tartan trews
Ye can sit there a’ night and knock back the booze
Ye can read Agatha Christie an’ ken a’ the clues
But down at the Central they don’t like the blues

Refrain 1
Down at the central they don’t like the blues
Down at the central they don’t like the blues
Down at the central they don’t like the blues
Down at the central they don’t like the blues

Verse 5
Ye can dae the horses an’ nivur lose
Ye can tell endless stories aboot yer world cruise
Ye can bring yer ain fireworks an’ even light yer ain fuse
But down at the Central they don’t like the blues

Refrain 2
Down at the central they don’t like the blues
Down at the central they don’t like the blues
I don’t like the central but I do like the blues….
