The Bird The Tree The Bell and The Fish by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

One for the city fest, the title should let you know which city the song is about

It is what it is.

down by the clyde and the finnieston lights
we walk hand in hand through the west end rain
through kelvingrove park to the boulevard
then back down to ashton lane
oh the duke on his horse with his traffic cone crown
i wonder how he'd feel if he could see himself now
see the punters chuckle whilst they brave the grey
with swagger and charm in a gallus way

on red and white sandstone where memories are laid
beautiful when the sun shines after the rain
our dear green place wrapped in stone
with a heart that's raw and real and kind
from govan's grit to partick's cheer
the barrowland and george's square
the clockwork orange to get you there
we belong to you

here is the bird that never flew
here is the tree that never grew
here is the bell that never rang
here is the fish that never swam

Hey Jim... glad to see this place is still rocking out with you in here. I'm not sure of a lot of these places... but It sure paints a great picture. Well done "Braw Tell Your Maw" or "FMGWAP"? (Can't remember the last one)

Beautiful and dreamy vibe on this. Fine backer and the lyrics fit well on its atmosphere. Nice job, James!

This song just floats along...very smooth ORH. I'm following the lyrics as the song plays. Although I don't know all the references I still find myself seeing what you are describing. Real good vocals and music!
