Tilnefning nr. 195 - Guðjón

Cap in hands - The Proclaimers[1988]

Líklega kannast flestir við lagið I´m gonna be með The Proclaimers sem er í sjálfu sér ágætist lag en að mínu mati er Cap in Hand mun betra og hef ég því ákveðið að tilnefna það.
Cap in Hands – The Proclaimers kom út á Sunshine on Leith árið 1988

   I could tell the meaning of a word like serene,
   I got some `O' grades when I was sixteen,----
    I can tell the difference 'tween margarine and butter,
   I can say "Saskatchawen" without starting to stutter.
   But I can't understand why we let someone else  rule our land,
      we're cap in hand.
   I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight,
   I know it's evening when day turns to night,
    I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly,
   They could save a lot of points by signing Hib's goalie.
   But I can't understand why we let someone else  rule our land,
   we're cap in hand.
   We fight   when they ask us,
   We boast   then we cower,
   We beg   for a piece of
   What's already,  what's already,   what's already, ours.
   Once I thought I could make God a bribe,
   So I said I was in His lost tribe,
   Getting handouts can be so frustrating,
   "Get in line son, there's five million waiting".
    But I can't understand why you let someone else   rule your land
     You're cap in hand.
    No, I can't understand why we let someone else   rule our land,
    We're cap in hand,  cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand,
    No, I can't understand why we let someone else   rule our land,
    We're cap in hand ....
