Lyrics
Aberdeen (Mc Donnell-Molloy)
Walked down Union Street, Aberdeen for some time.
Guitar in hand in case, in case I got the urge to play.
Listened to an old man with warm chords,
Dedicated to the north sea cold that bought the day.
Down on McComby lane, a pretender to the Mike Scott throne,
Singing, "Bring Em All In", take their money home".
Maybe I've been blinded,
This solar stature on the centre.
Leaving hearts static and contented
In the calm and the rage
The calm and the rage.
I know it's not for me
There's so much more I want to be.
The drive is alive
I'm afraid of this head on with humility.
Well he knew he had my appetite whet.
Called on me for a Celtic duet.
I could not join him for my own wall.
Ego intact and King Street bound.
Bid my farewell to the thermo-acoustic sound
And the old man the front-man for Marks and Sparks.
Maybe??????.
