Fidycat was Anagram's vocalist and bass player until the band split in 2001. He now writes songs as the inspiration arrives...
Story behind the song
Like any big city, Glasgow attracts folk fae a' the airts (from all corners) seeking to better their lot in life. Eventually though, the call of home is strong...
Lyrics
Glasgow
I never wanted you - I was just another of the running ones
running from hunger
turning my back upon the hills that couldn't feed me
I never meant to stay - just another year or two and I'd be free
and freedom I've cherished
though somehow never quite enough to turn and walk away
Glasgow, it's time to measure all you gave me
as they smother your old steel in chrome
Glasgow, I too must change if I'm to save me
Do you mind if this survivor goes home...
Where the road fails, leaves a tired stranger by a quiet shore
richer and poorer
poorer in coin but rich in sprit now I'm wild and free
Where the gull sails, soaring unconcerned by lack of guarantees
I'm gliding on strong wings
over an edge of life that hurts, to touch a peaceful sea
Glasgow, it's time to measure all you gave me...
