The Show Must Go On [English [Scots] translation]

Hee haw spaces, whit ur we living for?

abandoned places, ah jalouse we ken th' hampden roar, oan 'n' on

does a' body ken whit we ur keekin for?

another hero, anither mindless crime

behind th' curtain, in th' pantomime

hold th' line

does a' body wantae tak' it anymore?

the shaw mist gang on

the shaw mist gang oan, yeah

inside mah hert is breaking

my makeup kin be flaking

but mah smile, aye, bides on

whatever happens, ah will lea it a' tae chance

another hertache, anither failed romance, oan 'n' on

does a' body ken whit we ur living for?

i jalouse a'm learning

i'll soon be turning, round th' neuk now

outside th' dawn is breaking

but ben in th' mirk a'm aching tae be free

the shaw mist gang on

the shaw mist gang on

inside mah hert is breaking

my makeup kin be flaking

but mah smile, aye, bides on

ma soul is painted lik' th' wings o' butterflies

fairy tales o' yesterday, graw bit ne'er die
