Spiders
A woke up an ma brehn felt like it haed got plaistered at a pairty.
A haed a drooth in ma mooth, an ma airm wis aw numb an deid.
A wis lyin on the settee in front o the telly.
But ken whit wis the maist sair? Ma hert, no ma heid.
See, the thing is, A'd only been doverin
- an fir an oor or twa, nae mair -
but the votes haed nearly aw been coontit by then
an it wisna lookin guid fir the rest, that's fir shuir.
Noo, A'm ettlin tae pit it ahent iz.
The disappointment's fadin awa
an aw A can think o is spiders
an aw yon Robert the Bruce stuff - that's aw.
The odds were mibbe stackit against us,
but we still gied it oor best shot.
Aw A can think o is spiders, spiders.
Gin ye dinna gie up, an the baa's no burst, the gemm's no lost.
The gemm's no lost.

With A Pint In Front Of Me
I'm sitting with a pint in front of me.
I pick it up and take a sip. I always like to see,
to see how it compares to the last time.
"Is kissing just the same?" I wonder idly in my mind.
I like to swirl it round inside my mouth,
into every corner. It's the best way to find out
if this one has the same sweet taste I love.
I couldn't quite believe you were still there when I looked up.
I think I must be shyer than I thought
and I already knew I was, really quite a lot.
I must be shy and really quite naive,
for what you said was more than I could really quite believe.
I'm sitting with a pint in front of me.
I pick it up and take a sip. I always like to see,
to see how it compares to the last time.
"Is kissing just the same?" I wonder idly in my mind.
