Beth Malcolm

To Glasgow

[Lyrics: Beth Malcolm]

And then I moved from the nest 

No more singing in the hallway 

No more journeys in the back 

Following fingers, pointing to a town where a song was born 

To Glasgow I go 

First loves, and a thousand pints of fun 

And a world beyond folk music 

Pop, jazz, electronica and disco 

These songs all spoke to me  

And my wretched late teenage soul 

Old folk songs had always been my currency 

But in Glasgow, you pay with cash 

So I don’t sing them  

I put them in a box at the bottom of the bed 

And turn on Amy Winehouse instead
