Song lyrics

Oh the lights outside, they're as bright as the sun,
They're much brighter than anyone.
Oh the girls in the queue, yes, they're waiting for you,
Well, they're waiting for their song to be sung.

And when the night turns to day, and all the people go away,
It's not the same, tell me, who's to blame.
And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night,
I wish that I was on the stage

[Chorus:]
Oh won't you take a ride with me through "The Barrowland" history?
And I'll sing you a song or two,
People they may stop and stare,
But baby I just don't care, it's only me and you.
And they'll drink and dance and drugs,
You know, it's all part of the show we're going to,
Maybe have to tell you, the people they may stop and stare,
But baby I just don't care, tonight it's only me and you.

Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling,
When the band starts to play.
Won't you buy me a drink, and I'll tell her what I think,
If she gets in my way.

And when the night turns to day and all the people go away,
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame.
And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night,
I wish that I was on the stage.

[Chorus]

And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away,
I wish that life and love would pass me by.
And when the band stops a song, because there's something going on,
Well, there is magic in the air, I swear.
And I wish that I saw Bowie playing on that stage,
I wish that I saw something to make me come of age.

[Chorus]
