Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross – The Day That Jackie Jumped The Jail

The day that Jackie jumped the jail

There was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway

And thirty thousand fireworks took the piss out of Princes Street Gardens

So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener

See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morning

The sun will be up again

And you you will be loved again

After the sausages and cream of the barley

There was aframe or two to be had at the “Imperial” on Mitchell Street

Five years ago he`d buried her memory with a snooker cue on a daft wee student`s head

Still he remembered everything

The sun will be up again

And you you will be loved again

And the wind

And the rain

And the wind

And the rain

Falls around

As he walked down Hope Street he thought about the last time they`d been together

He`d been wearing a green parka and he`d bought her yellow stilettos

That squeezed her toes

He`d told her the whole story as she took him into the wee penn behind Sloan`s

And let him feel her all over

For the last time

Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him up

The sun will be up again

And You,You will be loved again

You will be loved

And the wind

And the rain

Falls around

All over this town
