2. ‘Black Friday’ James Copeland
Weemin windae hingin’
Hearts in their mooth
It’s no’ oor close Lizzie
Oh gawdstruth
Screams on the landing’

See big Hughie
Jokin’ wae the squad

Ah bloody hell

He’s just a boy hisel
Oot behin’ a lorry
Payin’ nae heed
Ablow a double decker
A poor wean deid
Perra worn sannies
Wee durty knees
Hea, erra polis
Stand back please
Lookit the conductress
Face as white as chalk
Hea, see the driver but
Canna even talk
Anyone a witness?
Na, we never saw
Glad am no’ the polis
Goin’ to tell his maw
