lirik lagu alan cumming - a sojourn round europe, pt. 1 (live)
[spoken intro]
and you know ahm that every word that is true, it’s absolutely true
that really did exist if you,if you go to youtube you put in: alan c-mming condom you..
b-ll-cks, maybe you shouldn’t do that, (laughter) that might be (laughs) hahaha
make your, make search the most specific (laughter)
but it really did happen…. (laughter)
well that’s [?] things up (laughter)
tonight ladies and gentlemen, the next three songs we’re going to go on a little tour of europe
a sojourn if you will
three countries, we’ll gonna start in my homeland scotland
and we’re going to glasgow ah and glasgow’s, ah a city i love very very dearly
it’s not where i’m from but it’s where i went to drama school and it’s where i became a man, if you will. many times (laughter) and… ahm
this song is a song that i had many many years ago
written by this amazing person called michael mara
it’s called mother glasgow and the thing is ah it’s quite a complicated scottish song
it has got lots of scottish idioms in it, a-lot of kind of things that glasgow lore
so i thought i’d do a little cheat sheet version for you first
just to get a hang of it, so when i sing it properly i get the full whammy
right? so here we go
[verse 1]
in the second city of the empire
so when britain had an empire
london was the first city glasgow was the second
mother glasgow [?]
mother glasgow matriarchal figure out just like lady liberty
bairns… a scottish word for children
trying hard to feed her little starlings
unconsciously she clips their little wings
she’s a parent she f-cks up (laughter)
mother glasgow[?] is perpetual
nestling the [?]
oh so in glasgow there is a big sectarian divide between catholic and protestants
so a [?] is a is a protestant [?] is a catholic and mother glasgow gets them all together
just like oprah.it makes them all happy (laughter)
i dreamt that you could [?] with some mango [?]
scotch [?] seed mango ,the peaches in the glasgow
to try to catch a fish that couldn’t swim
oh! so in the studio of glasgow is that it was this place where there was a fish that couldn’t swim
and a bird that couldn’t fly a tree that couldn’t grow
and a bell that wouldn’t ring
a name said mango came along
and also in an oprah like way, glasgow’s a big connection to oprah
made them all happen
[verse 2]
second verse
a mango [?] starlings
father glasgow knows he charges well
father glasgow father glasgow
mother glasgow’s plus 1
ah he want to make his way up into heaven
by waltzing all his charges into hell
mother glasgow’s sucker is perpetual
[?] [?] try to catch a fish that couldn’t swim

yes (laughter)
