Garscube Road End Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 The song should be Elton John's ' Sorry seems to be the hardest word' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never quite understood this comeback of can you do better! Essentially what you are saying is people cannot have an opinion unless they can do the same or better. It is better than that pish T.H.I.S.T.L.E abomination i grant you that but wouldn't be outta place on that Thistle CD alongside Tiger Tims crap.

partickthedog Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I liked the "Yellow when the sun comes up, Red when the sun goes down" part, but it did seem to be condemning us to a permanent yo yo existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I very quickly get bored by singers' long introductions to their songs, but once he got started on the music I really quite liked the guitar and singing, especially the yellow-up red-down hook. But I think it would have been better with some more lines and much less repetition of what lines there were. It would have been simple to work in a "Firhill" somewhere, as it (kind of) rhymes with Thistle. Anyway, well done to the Hibee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivad Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Here's another one, updated for the times: Oh when the Jags, go marching in When the Jags go marching in I want to be in that number But I can't because of social distancing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
