lyrics

Hanfaes o’ notes

Chorus
Handfaes o’ notes in a broon paper bag
Tae oil a bent system o’ handin’ oot graft
They’re tearin’ doon Dundee
Dae ye think ma heid’s saft
Wisny born yesterday an em no daft

Verse 1
Dundee’s disappearin’ right in front o’ yer face
Breeze blocks monstrocities takin’ their place
Dundee’s auld history is vanishin’ fast
Replaced wi big eyesores that are no gonna last

Chorus

Verse 2
A station wiz putt there fur catchin’ a train
Smashed tae smithereens the whole thing is insane
Bonnie big buildin’ an’ a link tae the past
Hauled doon fur progress in a world changin’ fast

Chorus

Verse 3
Spilt milk is gone dry the tears frae yer eyes
There’s always been chancers there’ll always be lies
Whut’s done is done an’ canna be undone
We’ve aye got tomorrow so look tae the skies
We’ve aye got tomorrow so look tae the skies
