FreddyHeadey ADD:Coming Home (Steven Clark)-Jock Tamson's bairn (8) RE: Lyr Req: Coming Home 25 Sep 17


Sorry, scratch the e from Clarke.


And here is his current website
http://stevenclarksongs.me.uk/lyrics.html#COMING_HOME

but it's worth pasting some of the text from that other link above
" ... It's also been arranged in a four-part version for Edinburgh choir Protest In Harmony, and is sung by the Eurydice choir. [[http://www.sundayherald.com/53500|"Coming Home" is mentioned here], and also in "Weegies vs Edinbuggers 2" by Ian Black.
This song uses the Scots saying "We're all Jock Tamson's bairns". Broadly speaking, it means: We are all one family, the same under the skin, it takes all sorts. 'I live in Bishopbriggs, a more-or-less comfy suburb of Glasgow. Each day I travel by bus through Sighthill and Red Road, where many immigrants and refugees are housed. The song was a reaction to some of the casual, petty racism and begrudgery that occurs on a daily basis.' "
