Slainte Mhath - Marillion[00:00:01]
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado[00:00:52]
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm[00:00:58]
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu[00:01:05]
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far[00:01:11]
This is the story so far[00:01:17]
Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins[00:01:28]
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two[00:01:34]
And when you declare the point of grave creation[00:01:41]
They turn round and you to tell them the story so far[00:01:47]
This is the story so far[00:01:52]
And you listen with a tear in you eye[00:02:00]
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply[00:02:06]
Is Slàinte Mhath[00:02:11]
Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie[00:02:19]
Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns[00:02:25]
Holding their own last orders commanding attention[00:02:32]
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far[00:02:38]
This is the story so far[00:02:43]
Take it away[00:02:51]
Take it away[00:02:53]
Take it away[00:02:58]
Take me away[00:03:01]
Take me away[00:03:03]
Take me away[00:03:04]
Take me away[00:03:06]
Take me away[00:03:07]
From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen[00:03:19]
From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men[00:03:25]
From the realisation that all we've been left behind[00:03:31]
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line[00:03:37]
Waiting on the whistle to blow[00:03:43]
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow[00:03:48]
They promised us miracles and the whistle still blows[00:03:54]
Broken promises but the whistle still blows[00:04:00]
Waiting on the wistle to blow[00:04:07]
We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow[00:04:12]
We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow[00:04:19]
