The Glasgow Underground Songtext
von Francie and Josie

Trust me
You know, that was a lovely song
I love to hear you sing it again
She was a madless woman
Made every fear for now
She used to pack one big holiday hampers
Three shoe cases, she stuck the Bungie in a cage, and she took the dog way up, the way she went during the subway

There′s Partick cross and Cessnock
Hillheid and Merkland street
George's cross and Govan cross
Where all the people meet
West street shields road
The train goes round and round
You′ve never lived unless you've been on
The glasgow underground


They tell me that Majorca
Is a dandy place to be
Or Switzerland or Italy
Or even gay Paris
There's many lovely beauty spots
Upon the Clyde of Firth
But I would always rather travel
A doon below the earth

There′s Partick cross and Cessnock
Hillheid and Merkland street
George′s cross and Govan cross
Where all the people meet
West street shields road
The train goes round and round
You've never lived unless you′ve been on
The glasgow underground

There's names that ring like magic
That can thrill you through and through
They seem to call you back
With an enchantment ever new
There′s places far away
Are like a song that's sweetly sung
You roll them roon your mouth
And feel them sliding off your tongue


There′s Partick cross and Cessnock
Hillheid and Merkland Street
George's cross and Govan cross
Where all the people meet
West street shields road
The train goes round and round
You've never lived unless you′ve been on
The glasgow underground

I never like the stoorie winds
The showers or the snaw
The sun can get too burny
And the sleet′s no nice at all
But I don't mind the climate now
As on my way I go
The Dolce Vita′s waiting there
A hundred feet below

There's Partick cross and Cessnock
Hillhead and Merkland street
George′s cross and Govan cross
Where all the people meet
West street shields road
The train goes round and round
You've never lived unless you′ve been on
The glasgow underground
