Joe Biden's in Heraghty's Bar
Says he's looking for Jack Maclean
Emmanuel Macron's at the Blue Lagoon
Got thrown out of Jaconelli's again
Boris Johnson's in the Louden Tavern
Think he's fallen asleep on the floor
And everybody else is on Great Western Road
Trying to get into Oran Mor

 They've got special deals at the Barras
Golden Virginia and kitchen sink speed
Recycled tobacco
Any substance you think you might need
And I thought I saw the Pope outside paradise
But he was otherwise engaged in Rome
And Prince Charles was drinking whisky in the Doublet
While the Queen safely stayed at home

This is where worlds collide
On the banks of the Clyde
Saving the human race
In the Dear Green Place

Angela Merkel's in Easterhouse
Says it reminds her of East Berlin
And the rats are nibbling Nicola's toes
Because nobody's emptying the bins
And it's 2 grand a night in Finnieston
Because everybody wants to be cool
CNN’s broadcasting from Edinburgh
All the trains to Queen Street were full

Chorus

No-one called it recycling at Paddy's
You just sold what you could to survive
Electric trolley buses and trams were all scrapped
Because it was much better to drive

Now there's cappuccino in The Calton 
Croissants in the Copland Road
And Greta Thunberg in the Govan Greggs
Eating a vegan sausage breakfast roll

Chorus

Dear Green Place (Worlds Collide)

This Song was inspired by my amazing Mum who was born in Tanzania in 1950 and grew up playing and travelling in the back of railway carriages, Learning and speaking Swahili. Seeing some of the most amazing sights nature has to offer.

So go on my friend and hae a dram, for old times and good health, 
the things that money cannot buy matter more than wealth.
You can't change the past before you, the future's far from clear,
so grab your beer, raise it high and DRINK UP WHILE YOU'RE HERE!

Drink Up While You're Here
