Lyrics

Glasgow (Life Goes On...)

A man of charm recites his life
The whores and lovers and poor ex-wife
He stands on the table and pours back a drink
Gentlemen......Life goes....

I've grown to love these mean old streets
We're all Jock Tamson's by the end of the week
Alexander Parade onto Partick Cross
Govan town Hall up to Possil Loch

And down by the river the city hides its past
It's lousin' time, the boys a re out on the lash

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....

This worn out church has lost its flock
A one time stunner who drank 'til she dropped
She looks to the heavens and sheds a tear
For all those ones that she held dear

And out on the corner the young girl awaits her date
It never changes he's always late

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....

The last great poet shows his scars
As he lies in the gutter looking up to the stars
Without much prompting he bursts into song
For fucks sake....life goes on

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....

And down by the river the city breaks its heart
As a generation gets torn apart

Life Goes On, Life Goes On
Life Goes On, Life Goes.....On
