I've been so sad Since you said my accent was bad He's wearin' a frown This Caledonian clown I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away Some days I stand On your green and pleasant land How dare I show face When my diction is such a disgrace I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should be left for dead It doesn't please your ear And though you tell it like a leg-pull It seems you're still full of John Bull You just refuse to hear Oh what can I do To be understood by you Perhaps for some money I could talk like a bee dripping honey. I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should be left for dead It doesn't please your ear And though you tell it like a leg-pull I think you're still full of John Bull You just refuse to hear He's been so sad Since you said his accent was bad He's wearin' a frown This Caledonian clown I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away Flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away

Instead, the band was a post-punk pop band, aggressively displaying their thick accents on sweet, infectiously melodic songs about love, politics, and life in Scotland. Craig Reid and Charlie Reid were born in Leith in 1962, and grew up in Edinburgh, Cornwall and Auchtermuchty. When they stayed in Auchtermuchty they attended Bell Baxter High School. After several punk rock bands at school they formed The Proclaimers in 1983.The... подробнее
