I think that chorus goes something like: "O the Glasgow I belong to, it's the Dear Green Place; it's the Capital of Culture, it's a dampt disgrace; from Kelvinside to ?Giffnock? Pan loaf, Plain Breid It's the Tron, it's the Tramway, and the (pause).... Sarry Heid." A friend of mine sings it, but that's all I can remember. Notes: dampt - a refined-ish way of saying "damned" Capital of Culture - Glasgow was the European Cultural Capital in 1990 (I think) Pan loaf / Plain breid - new, pretentious/ traditional, no-nonsense Tron - theatre in converted former church Tramway - huge performance space in former Tram depot Sarry Heid - the Saracen Head - in Gallowgate - on of the oldest pubs in Glasgow
