How Many? - - ‘s Sake

Idlefrets Music.05.05.20
(Air: Trimdon Grange)

1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.

We'll Sing Again.

Chorus:
We'll sing again, don't know where, don't know when,
Like a jackdaw or a hen, some brand-new day,

Diamonds And Dogs

I bought ma wee mutt for a tenner. The ring it was nearly two gran’
She’ll empty ma purse if ah ken ‘er, Ah’m putty in her very han’,

So ah plucked up the courage on Thursday, and thought ah wad gie her the news.

1. My mama done tol’ me, when I was just five,
“You don’t eat healthy, you don’t survive”,
