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 mist be warmer now
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
i kin fly, mah friends
the shaw mist gang on
the shaw mist gang on
i'll coupon it wi' a grin
i'm ne'er giein' in
on wi' th' show
i'll tap th' bill
i'll overkill
i hae tae fin' th' wull tae carry on
on wi' th' show
show mist gang on
show mist gang oan
