The Corries - Scotland the Brave
Land o' the purple heather.
Land o' the dirty weather.
Land where the midges gaither, Scotland the Brave.
Land o' the Pakistanis,
Andy Capp and Saturday sannies.
Land where they sell their grannies, Scotland the Brave. Used to say in faither's day,
You could hear the bagpipes play,
But now you hear the regal tones o' Elton John and The Rolling Stones.
Land that is full o' stinkers,
Wee fat Jews and VP drinkers.
Whisky put a lot o' stinkers, into Scottish graves. Land that is full o' skivers,
Comic singers, deep sea divers,
Turbans on our bus condrivers, Scotland the Brave.
Land o' the brutal Bobbies,
Councillers wi' part-time jobbies,
Architects wi' paying hobbies, Scotland the Brave. The tourists come here every yearThe Corries - Scotland the Brave - http://motolyrics.com/the-corries/scotland-the-brave-lyrics-english-translation.html
To see all our historic gear,
But all they see is loads o' navvies, high rise flats wi' concrete lavvies.
Land o' the artic' lorries,
Andy Stewart and ra Corries,
Land where everybody borries, Scotland the Brave. Land o' the Kilt and Sporran -
Underneath, there's nothin' worn!
How I wish the wind was warm! Scotland the Brave.
I must admit it's pretty gruesome,
Walking about wi' your frozen twosome!
It's all we've got - we musn't lose 'em - Scotland the Brave. Conservatives try to assure us,
Labour's hard-put to endure us,
The Kirk puts curbs on our enjoyment, Government makes unemployment.
Never mind - the day is near,
When independence will be here!
We'll drink a toast in Younger's beer to Scotland the Brave

Land of the purple heather
Land of the the dirty weather
Land where the mosquitoes gather, Scotland the Brave
Land of the Pakistanis
Andy Capp and Saturday sandwiches
Land where they sell their grandmothers, Scotland the Brave
Used to say that on Father's day,
You could hear the bagpipes play,
But now you hear the regal tones of Elton John and the Rolling Stones.
Land that is full of stinkers,
Small fat Jews and ethanol drinkers.
Whisky put a lot of stinkers, into Scottish graves.
Land that is full of slackers,
Comic singers, deep sea divers,
Turbans on our bus drivers, Scotland the Brave.
Land of brutal policemen,
Councilors with jobs on the side,
Architects with paying hobbies, Scotland the Brave

To see all of our historic stuff,
But all they see is working class people, sky scrapers with concrete toilets,
Land of the arctic trucks,
Andy Stewart and the Corries,
Land where everybody borrows, Scotland the Brave.
Land of the Kilt and Sporran-
Underneath, they wear nothing!
How I wish the wind was warm! Scotland the Brave.
I must admit it's pretty gruesome,
Walking about with your frozen twosome!
It's all we have, we must not lose them - Scotland the Brave.
The Conservatives try to assure us,
Labour is hard-pressed to endure us,
The church puts limits on what we enjoy, the Government makes unemployment.
Never mind, the day is near,
When independence will be here!
We'll drink a toast with Younger's beer to Scotland the Brave
