lyrics

Don't beat yourself up kid. It's all in your head, yeah you've finally figured out that you'd rather be dead, than on the grind - the 9 to 5, for the rest of your life.

So I started up a punk/rock band with my best friend. Yeah we both grew up on Lennox, and then we left.

And I know that I'll miss home, but tonight I just can't wait to see the road.

Clap your hands, sing along, if you want to see me leave this town.

We will not fade. You're a longshot kid, don't get carried away. We are the light that burns in a city's flame.

So they say that we thrive on the unknown, but I'm proud of myself, cuz I know where I'm from. And I wouldn't be that same man without Glasgow.

We will not fade. We are the light that burns in a city's flame. You're a longshot kid, don't get carried away.

We will not fade. We are the light that burns in a city's flame.

So they say that we thrive on the unknown, but I know where I'm from. (x2)

So they say that we thrive on the unknown, but I'm proud of myself, cuz I know where I'm from. And I wouldn't be that same man without Glasgow.
We will not fade. We will not fade.
