When the street lights would shine on the diamonds in the jewellers
On Downies Wynd,
We stood with brass knuckles in
Our pockets and one thing in our minds
Still there giving it,
Trying to make a living when there's nothing left to give
Come waltz with me one more time
Matilda while we still have time to live
Throw up your guard, tune your ears to the roar.
Are you ready for me
Are you ready for war
Were the last of a dying breed,
Come run with me I'll give you everything you need
Remember weekends where everything
Let the Saturday night choir sing
When the police came down all who were left were bleeding
I'd love you with all I have my girl but
I've these wounds and they ain't healing
In Cuffs on a Monday morning but no one would admit defeat
Think I used up all my warnings with the sheriff on Buccleugh Street
Nothing's changed but I still live this place all the same
Were the last of a dying breed,
Come run with me I'll give you everything you need
Remember weekends where everything
Let the Saturday night choir sing
I saw a king carved in stone
Staring down the street where u came from
This is were you belong, this is were you belong
I saw a king carved in stone when I was out for a smoke at Hares Den
He said if at first you don't succeed try, try and try again
