Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, the lights outside, they're as bright as the sun
They're much brighter than anyone
Oh, the girls in the queue, yes, they're waitin' for you
Well, they're waitin' for their song to be sun
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same
Tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage
[Verse 2]
Oh, won't you take a ride with me through the Barrowland history?
And I'll sing you a song or two
People, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
It's only me and you
And the drink and dance and drugs, you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you
[Verse 3]
Oh, nothin' beats the feelin' of the high Barrowland ceilin'
When the bands start to play
Won't you buy me a drink? And I'll tell her what I think
If she gets in my way
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same
Tell me who's to blame?
Then when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage
[Verse 4]
Oh, won't you take a ride with me through the Barrowland history?
And I'll sing you a song or two
People, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
It's only me and you
And the drink and dance and drugs, you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you
[Verse 5]
And when the night turns to day and the lights, they fade away
I wish that love and life would pass me by
And when the band stops a song because there's somethin' goin' on
Well, there is magic in the air, I swear
And I wish that I saw Bowie playin' on that stage
I wish that I saw somethin' to make me come of age
[Verse 6]
Oh, won't you take a ride with me through the Barrowland history?
And I'll sing you a song or two
People, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
It's only me and you
(I wish that love and life)
And the drink and dance and drugs, you know
It's all part of the show we go to
(Life and love would pass me by)
Maybe I should tell you
That people, they may stop and stare
But, baby, I just don't care
(Baby, there's magic in the air)
It's only me and you
