I'm Still Trying |
Are thunderstorms still crashing down the British Isles? |
Do pantomime dames still get them rolling in the aisles? |
And do they know in Scotland that I’m still alive |
Deep in the jungle of internal exile? |
But I want to come back home before I die |
Tell the guys, tell the guys I’m still trying |
I see the place from time to time on some hotel TV |
Whiskey and the festival, the old rivalry |
Edinburgh and Glasgow, the cold war lingers on |
New York and Los Angeles, the rising and the setting of the sun |
But I still feel this rage |
Even on this plane |
There’s still this rage |
Flying at the speed of sound |
Further and further away |
The populist elitism, God, it all floods back |
The suspicion of the grand idea, the hyping of the fact |
The stubborn lack of passion, they were all so bad in bed |
The laddish sense of humour behind which they all hid |
But I want to come back home before I die |
Tell the guys, tell the guys I’m still trying |
I like it when I see how they can still smash up a street |
Riots stir the patriotic embers deep in me |
Captain McKechnie from the island of Tiree |
If you sailed back now great grandfather |
There’s something you’d still recognise in me |
There’s still this rage |
But I still feel this rage |
Even on this plane |
There’s still this rage |
Flying at the speed of sound |
Further and further away |
Are thunderstorms still crashing down the British Isles? |
Do pantomime dames still get them rolling in the aisles? |
And do they know in Scotland that I’m still alive |
Deep in the jungle of internal exile? |
But I want to come back home before I die |
Tell the guys, tell the guys I’m still trying |
