All the acerbic wit doesn't catch your eye
Who would love, write, guess if they could otherwise
Dancing with strangers a w**** on your arm
Except you're nowhere to be seen
So I guzzle pints of champagne
And try not to think on the red wine stain
I try not to, try not to
I only turn up early
For I've no occupation for my time
This empty s***e won't fill with sound
Sound's no call to be wasted such
The sunglasses fall from my face
Sound won't fill this empty s***e
No laughter, no snoring to spoil the place
The sunglasses fall again from my face
I stagger drunk and thoughtful
Glasses slipping slipping slip
And where have I come
But as the light became less dark
A scent of Empire in the park, I thought
Glasgow's not so bad
Not so bad
Who would love, write, guess if they could otherwise
Dancing with strangers a w**** on your arm
Except you're nowhere to be seen
So I guzzle pints of champagne
And try not to think on the red wine stain
I try not to, try not to
I only turn up early
For I've no occupation for my time
This empty s***e won't fill with sound
Sound's no call to be wasted such
The sunglasses fall from my face
Sound won't fill this empty s***e
No laughter, no snoring to spoil the place
The sunglasses fall again from my face
I stagger drunk and thoughtful
Glasses slipping slipping slip
And where have I come
But as the light became less dark
A scent of Empire in the park, I thought
Glasgow's not so bad
Not so bad
