Getting Dusty
I had a song inside me So I sat and wrote it our
I never expected much to come of it
So I laid on the dresser underneath the stereo
Oh oh oh oh Its Getting Dusty
One afternoon A friend came over feeling down
Said his girl had left him all alone
So I let him talk while I clean my dresser
Whoa oh oh oh It's getting dusty
All of us have a need For comfort when were down
Or so it always seems There's a friend that help shapes our lives
I found my song for it was just lying there
When my friend asked what is was about
And so I let him read while I cleaned my dresser
Oh oh oh oh It's getting Dusty
He smiled as he read it And said, you know, this is pretty good
I told him to keep it if he liked it
Because I didn't need it It was just lying there
Oh oh oh oh It's getting Dusty
All of us have a need For comfort when were down
Or so it always seems There's a friend that help shapes our lives
All of us have a need For comfort when were down
Or so it always seems There's a friend that help shapes our lives
All of us have a need For comfort when were down
Or so it always seems There's a song that help shapes our lives

Causeyside Street
Wind blowing on a fresh night
Hear the wind howl down Brown's Lane
Council flowers in the planters
Shadows from the lamp dancing on the pavement
Causeyside Street
I see the come and I see them go
Causeyside Street
Livin' out a life so slow
The sound of the feet
Everyway they come and anywhere they go
Some arriving some surviving
About face into tomorrow
Mates they hang outside the bookies
The 26 passes on the way to Nethercraigs
Pubs they close and then reopen
Causeyside's the hub of this old toon
Mags and George stay in Sixty Five
They carry the pram up 4 flights of stairs
Got no problems with the neighbors
Buddies for life, or so I'm told
In season they come to shop
Ramble off for a Gregg's sausage roll
Prams and weans and big balloons
Grans they they smile and patter away

Fly Away
I can chance to see your nest
Rocks on a broken branch
Than is something that happens
in nature you know
Take to the sky
And hope the rest can stay a-high
Another chance to fly with life will come
Fly Away Fly Away Land to rest or come to nest
Seasons and the strong winds have made it time to
Flying in the rain
On a moonless night alone
Memories of a time then come to thought
The nest has broke and the pieces on the ground
A broken heart and another broken day
Fly Away Fly Away Land to rest or come to nest
Seasons and the strong winds have made it time to
The sky will clear and the moon will light the night
Another chance to fly with life will come
Pick up the pieces take on a new love
Just go and fly the night is yours

LAMBENT
When I heard that note you starting singing
ah
As one note led to another I started floating
ah
Every little thing that you start to sing
Adds a note that will find another
Notes flowing forth sounding from the heart
And then take a rest here
Long time we will sing
Note to note two harmonies
Note by note our sounds started dancing
ah
A harmonious symphony so charming
ah
Every little thing that you start to sing
Adds a note that will find another
Notes flowing forth sounding from the heart
And then take a rest here
Long time we will sing
Note to note two harmonies

Henrietta Rafferty McCafferty
Henrietta Rafferty McCafferty was a vision of rare beauty
Her jet black hair would turn heads everywhere
This gallus gal was a true originale in all her glory
Having tea and scones at the bakery she was dressed so colourfully
Wednesday a wee tidy, Thursday messages
Friday making bridies for the evening tea hmmm for me?
Always a doer but naer was doer. A get it done kind of mama
Always so sweet sashaying around George street
Henrietta had no vendetta not a single stranger did she know
She'd leave the cafe and wait in queue by the outdoor lavatory
Stockings were rationed, Henrietta still had fashion
She had a loving heart that loved that love still loves today
Miss Henrietta If you ever met her
She was such a lovely sight to see
Miss Henrietta You've got to get her
Big sultry emerald eyes so worldly wise
Can't you see That's Henrietta Rafferty McCafferty
Pretty as can be That's H R McC
I saw that honey bunny you know

I Think I'm in Love
Every time I see your face I see a smile
And it's smiling right at me
And I know it comes from something
you never had before and that something is me
Love is just a silly little macramé
Our hearts hung tied up in knots
Can you tell me just one small thing
That I'd like to know about you, yeah, you
Is it true you love me true true today
True tomorrow too
Keep my love and warm yourself within
Can you feel sincerely what I am
I think I' m in love I think I' m in love
I think I' m in love It could be true
I think I' m in love I think I' m in love
I'm in love with someone like you
Quiet times alone we do what you do like
And we do what I like to do
Do you find that we're drifting off to a paradise
Floating past the moon
Fly away with my heart with me
It could be so absolutely real
I think I' m in love I think I' m in love
I think I' m in love It could be true
I think I' m in love I think I' m in love
I'm in love with someone like you

Dreams
When I dream of you I cry
For the essence of my dreams
Are turned to nightmares
During my awakened hours
For we are always together in my dreams
Dreams are made of love and happiness
The longing to possess who I love
Dreams become nightmares when my awakened hours
Are not the true essence of my dreams
In man's search of true happiness
He must first look within himself
For men are only able to attract
Only that which they are
solo
Dreams are made of love and happiness
In my dreams I am free
Free to love free to be loved
I have the strength to make my dreams come true
I shall always try to escape
I have my faith in love
I have the strength to make my dreams come true
In my awakened hours I will have found you
The truth in love and happiness
You must search with yourself
For you are only able to attract
Only that which you are

It Happens
They say it's always better on the other side
Against a backdrop of anything
Que sera sera it's all in the cards
What will be what will be will be blessed be
That's the way that the cookie crumbles
That's life the dice have rolled
That's the way that the old mop flops
It happens Thems the breaks
Ah forget it It don't matter
Some say you should walk a mile in someone's shoes
The plot thickens In the scheme of things
Oh well such is life Just watch this space
All's well that ends well let it be blessed be
It's circumstantial By the scheme of things
The tail wagging dog the plot thickens
Even if the occasion arises
Shit Happens Thems the breaks
Ah forget It don't matter.
That's the way that the cookie crumbles
That's life the dice have rolled
That's the way that the old mop flops
It happens Them's the breaks
Ah forget it It don't matter

In a Box of Charcoal
There is a warmth burning passionately
Thawing cold hearts of all the wee souls
Poems written on a page of facts
Hiding In a box of charcoal
Always moving abundantly
Embracing strength fighting off weakness
Soul warms heartily in every word
Sparks of fire impress
Loving laughs, hating mind games
Always finding perfect magnificence
Treasuring time enraptured everlasting
Embracing innocence
Never ending free beginnings
New adventures thrilling
Searching to solve the mysteries
Feel the heat’s beat heat intense
Enthusiastically so courageous
High ideals the mind is strong
Life’s gift on display arise bless the day
Hearts on fire for the song
There is a warmth burning passionately
Thawing cold hearts of all the wee souls
Poems written on a page of facts
Hiding In a box of charcoal

For So Long
For so long
True feelings have been distorted
While in the presence of others
The fact that the deepest need is love
Unable to admit such acclaim to the others
For so long
Desiring the wild lifestyles
Has not satisfied the insides
The fact that the deepest need is love
Confused to relate such a conflict living both
For so long
Putting up with the uncertainty
Sensing to rely on the source
The fact that the deepest need is love
Minor tragedies guided by a mysterious force
For so long
May relationships continue
While in the presence of others
The fact that the deepest need is love
Uniting the appreciation of one another

ROTHESAY BAY
At Rothesay Bay
Where the brambles grow
Back to my flat I dare not go
If I do ma mama will say
Did you ever see midgie eatin' at the chippy At Rothesay Bay
Did you ever see a goat a swimmin' in the moat At Rothesay Bay
Did you ever see a duck driving a truck At Rothesay Bay
Did you ever see a fly wearing a tie At Rothesay Bay
Did you ever hear a swan singing this song At Rothesay Bay
Did you ever find a time
When you can make a rhyme
At Rothesay Bay

Career Out of Lunch
When I punch in at eight o'clock
I find the foreman still in shock
He's still loaded from the night before
His face is always on the barroom floor
It's another day at the old hotel
It was meant to happen time sure tells
Denny's got the ladies on his mind
Robert tells Denny ''It'll happen anytime
When we get all stoned and we gotta munch
We make a career out of lunch
Steve tells me I am good for nothing
What have I been doing Well not a thing
Robert's busy doing the same
Goofing off hey that's Denny's game
