Davie's Bus

NOTE: THIS TRACK IS FREE

This is the last of the 'half-time' tracks.

Another 'dancey' track!

Similar to "Dream Team" this was envisaged as an old stalwart fan talking to another, discussing the fact that one of their number is nowhere to be seen and theorising that he must have 'missed his bus' and then seeing him coming in to the stands just in time for the second half.

Mike and I locked Jock in the studio room with only the basic beat of this one going and let him throw out phrases and comments to his heart's content.
Again, 30 mins edited down to a few comments!

This track is also a light-hearted but heartfelt tribute to Dave Forbes - 'The Grey Fox', our liason and contact with the club for the majority of the project.
His support was unparalleled and very much appreciated.

lyrics

(For non Dundonians, a glossary of terms is given below!)

In 1893, a force emerged in Scottish Football, which, within 20 years of its humble beginnings, would lift the coveted Scottish Cup.
This fighting force is still to be reckoned with to this day.

Hoooaaww!!!!
