All Scotland's Eyes Lyrics

Meeting you on a hazy '90s weekend

Oh how the time has "flew", like those freedoms we took for granted

Someday we'll rendezvous at the Central Station signboard

And maybe you'd need me too, in the absence of something better

Much better

All Scotland's eyes watched different lives

Those Glasgow nights, the ways of a different time

There was no police state, no camera eyes

We'd walk that tightrope, we'd walk that line

Failing proved those exams were getting tougher

It's hard to believe that you had barely any sense then

Still reeling from times gone by, our lost hopes of a brighter future

But maybe we'll realise that these times are somehow better

Much better

All Scotland's eyes watched different lives

Those Glasgow nights, the ways of a different time

There was no police state, no camera eyes

We'd walk that tightrope, we'd walk that line

Glen Coe nights, folk bands and the campfire light

Gillespie's stout, with Irn Bru for the morning after

Just like those Tennent's girls, a moment in time to savour

But our lives still go on, there's so much left to discover

All Scotland's eyes watched different lives

Those Glasgow nights, the ways of a different time

There was no police state, no camera eyes

We'd walk that tightrope, we'd walk that line

All Scotland's eyes watched different lives

Those Glasgow nights, the ways of a different time

There was no police state, no camera eyes

We'd walk that tightrope, we'd walk that line
