lyrics

Scotland

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
Are you in my whisky?
Where is my whisky?

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
Are you in my voice?
Choice

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
Are you in my porridge?
Where is my porridge?

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
I know not your face
I love you, I hate you

Chorus:
Oh mother of my
Mother of my
Mother of my
I feel like my head is swimming
The wrong way round and round and round
Oh father of my
Father of my
Father of my
I feel like I'm walking
Upside down and down and down

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
Are you in the pipes?
Where are the pipes?
I can hear them
They sound really, really, really
Oh yeah

Chorus:
Hit the digits 2 and 6
Upon my wee red Casio
It's the sound of the pipes
But oh I feel so alone
It's like a metaphor
For the dispossessed and broken
Kind of pathetic and prophetic
And unspoken

Oh Scotland
Who are you?
Are you in my sporran?
Where is my sporran?
I need it
It has my compass inside
How will I find my way back again

Chorus:
Oh mother of my
Mother of my
Mother of my
I feel like my head is swimming
The wrong way round and round and round
Oh father of my
Father of my
Father of my
I feel like I'm walking
Upside down and down and down
