Border Reiver - Mark Knopfler

Southern bound from Glasgow town

She’s shining in the sun

My Scotstoun lassie on a border run

We’re whistling down the hillsides and tearing up the climbs

I’m just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver

Three hundred thousand on the clock and plenty more to go

Crash box and lever — she needs the heel and toe

She’s not too cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat

I’m a six-foot driver but you can’t adjust the seat in the Border Reiver

«Sure as the Sunrise»

That’s what they say about the Albion

«Sure as the Sunrise», that’s what they say about the Albion

And she’s an Albion

She’s an Albion

The Ministry don’t worry me my paperwork’s alright

They can’t touch me

I got my sleep last night

It’s knocking out a living wage in 1969

I’m just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver

«Sure as the Sunrise»

That’s what they say about the Albion

«Sure as the Sunrise», that’s what they say about the Albion

And she’s an Albion

She’s an Albion
