Barrowland Ballroom
Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sunThey're much brighter than anyone.Oh the girls in the Queue yes they're waiting for youWell they're waiting for their song to be sung.
And when the night turns to day and all the people go awayIt's not the same, tell me who's to blame?And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December nightI wish that I was on that stage
Oh won't you take a ride with methrough the Barrowland historyand I'll sing you a song or twoPeople they may stop and stare but baby I, I just don't care it'sit's only me and you.And the drink and dance and drugs you knowit's all part of the show we go toMaybe I should tell you.That people they may stop and stare but baby I, I just don't caretonight, it's only me and you.
Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceilingWhen the band starts to play.Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I thinkIf she gets in my way
And when the night turns to day and all the people go awayIt's not the same, tell me who's to blame?And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December nightI wish that I was on that stage
[Chorus]
And when the night turns to dayAnd the lights they fade awayI wish that life and love would pass me byAnd when the band stops a song because there's something going onWell there is magic in the air I swear.And I wish that I saw Bowie, playing on that stageI wish that I saw something, to make me come of age.
[Chorus]
