Ghosts of Glasgow (Live)

Ruby lost her slippers, the ones as red as blood
She remembers they were golden but then she took a punch
She clicked her heels for home so they threw her on the bus
Now she's sitting next to someone else's lunch

Oh, oh oh, tell me do you wanna go with me
Memory Lane's on Sauchiehall Street

See that old spot down the road, that's where we went to the picture show
Now it's all boarded up windows and all I hear are the Ghosts of Glasgow

Tommy was a dreamer, always chased his dreams
He was going to be a survivor and get out of the scheme
Now he's doing five for playing with kerosene, got drafted in the war between the blue and green

Oh, oh oh, tell me do you wanna go with me
Down Memory Lane on Sauchiehall Street

See that old spot down the road, that's where we went to the picture show
Now it's all boarded up windows and all I hear are the Ghosts of Glasgow

All of the unwanted, the memories leave them haunted
Down by the cathedral on broken bottles they'll kneel
When all societies burdens need someplace to herd into
Ooh ooh, Ooh ooh oh

Jimmy couldn't shimmy so they threw him on a beat, now he keeps his time by walking down the street
Says hello to everybody that he meets, he stops and says hello
Hey there Jimmy, man, how's it goin'? lookin' at you I wouldn't of known
I heard you left your dreams up in smoke, heard that you had lost your hope

See that old spot down the road, that's where we went to the picture show
Now it's all boarded up windows and all I hear are the Ghosts of Glasgow
All I see are the Ghosts of Glasgow
Now I'm haunted by the Ghosts of Glasgow
