The day that Jackie jumped the jail there was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway and thirty thousand fireworks took the piss out of Princes Street Gardens,
So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener...,
See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morning.
The sun will be up again,
And you, you will be loved again.
After the sausages and cream of the barley there was aframe or two to be had at the "Imperial" on Mitchell Street,
Five years ago he'd buried her memory with a snooker cue on a daft wee student's head...,
Still he remembered everything.
The sun will be up again,
And you, you will be loved again.
And the wind and the rain,
And the wind and the rain falls around.
As he walked down Hope Street he thought about the last time they'd been together,
He'd been wearing a green parka and he'd bought her yellow stilettos that squeezed her toes,
He'd told her the whole story as she took him into the wee penn behind Sloan's and let him feel her all over for the last time,
Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him up.
The sun will be up again,
And you, you will be loved again.
And the wind and the rain,
And the wind and the rain falls around.
