"I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad"

Most sarcastic first lines?

Totally underrated - so many brilliant lyrics.

"This is the story of our first teacher,
Shetland made her jumpers and the Devil made her features"

A great soul album. ;)

"Baby, I'm hot just like an oven,
I need some lovin'"

I still think the audacity of that opening rhyme is awesome.

True, but what's that got to do with the Proclaimers?

Well, I wasn't thinking only of the Proclaimers, mighty though they be (the first album in in ever so 'umble opinion is a classic) it just struck me that that was a great opening gambit, starts of with yer usual love struck notion and then hits you with some major criminality. Not written by them of course.

and some other Scots chime in...

always at the foot of the photograph - that's me there
snug as a thug in a mugshot pose, a foul-mouthed rogue

once upon a sign i read a warning and it said
'when in rome don't feed the lions'
what is meant i can't hazard a guess
