The Lost Boys of Coatdyke

The Lost Boys of Coatdyke

doon the path

over the bridge

up the platform

‘mon man

onto the train

swing on the pole

flop on the chair

feet on the seat

feet off the seat, mate, what if he sees

what are the chances

what’s the delay

what’s happening man

phoning my dad

phoning my pal

phoning a girl

what are you daein, man, what’ll she say?

check up the carriage

cheeky wee vape

I’m gonna ask

naw man, let’s boost

jump off the train

race the length

back on the carriage

aw naw, tripped on ma lace

back in the seat

back up the feet

back round the pole

hoods up, man

aye my dad says naw

aye my pals aw laugh

aye the girl says whit?

told you, man, whit ye daein?

off the train

race again

hawf in, hawf oot

wait up, man, ma lace

on again

aff again

in again

oot

sneak another vape

where are we gawn

get tae…

on again

aff again

in again

oot

whit are we daein

where are we gawn

limbs out of control

wait up, man, ma lace
