[glasgow1234]

I wish England people would stop thinking we hate them just because we want to be independent and govern ourselves !

[cheetah2k10]

[LamLawIndy]

As we in 1776, so shall Scotland in 2014. God bless you, Scots!

[universe221967]

[rorybone100]

[colin5070]

thumbs up for the kilt ad to the right!

[iosis2009]

@colin5070 i got fuckin vodafone.....besterds!!!

[PoopSlime]

This is a song to listen to for if the guys out there felt that their girlfriends cheated on them (or vice versa).

And you can call this number to ask for advice on why guys have a tendency to cheat on girls who listen to this type of music, not to mention it is worthy to call just for having a good time!

(248) 755-6567

I can't understand why we let some other girl be our wife; cap a life!

[Calummcntsh6]

This should be the national anthem, if not Flower of Scotland.

[evilscotsmin]

[TheDoco47]

wish u would all fuck off back to scotland and stop spunging off us english

[MarvellousMuffin]

@TheDoco47

Doco, believe me, if they gave me the choice, I'd take it in an instant. The last thing I want to do is "spunge" off the rest of the UK (not just England, considering there's at least three other countries in the UK".

[Gaybor]

Mon the Hibs.

[Onami3]

SASKATCHEWAN! YESS!

[150rex]

at least scottland is better of financially, in that the economy is more stable being a part of britain and the middle class is generally wealthier than they otherwise would be. in the words of burton cummings, all youre feeling right now is silly human pride.

ps my uncle is personal friends with the proclaimers, its so fucking dope :D

[MrScottishJamie]

@150rex what the economy is more stable what r u mad with 900 billion debt in the uk

[glasgow1234]

Thumbs up if you are going to vote YES for Scottish Independence !

[brokenglassesshaner]

@glasgow1234 is this true, have yous a vote to separate from britain?? im irish havnt heard anything of it ??

[teastainedbanjo]

@brokenglassesshaner It's true, mate. In a couple of years, the SNP gov's launching a vote for Scottish independance. Too bad I wont be here with all my Scottish cousins to celebrate the day we give brittain the finger... I've had enough the "UK" so I'm f***ing off to Canada. And I'm taking my kilt with me!

[rangermatthias]

@glasgow1234 I support Scottish Independence, but seeing as I'm an American, cant very well vote for it. But, We're a' Jock Tamson's Bairns!

[leftovervictim19]

fuckin eh bud!

[kieron51]

Vote for scottish independence! One day we will live the dream!

[conman7323]

i was playing this up full blast in ENGLAND

[BigRabbie100]

SAOR ALBA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilooktooyou]

we scots were always proud of our land no matter where we live...long live grangemouth

[scotsgirl45]

seems athlon8700 is eating his words now :) SNP majority when the system was designed so as this never happened but it happened because scotland voted and their voice was heard ..independance guys

[ToonArmySeanC]

people say scotland cant stand on it own?

Scotland made westminster 13.4 billion pounds in oil last year,

Scotland has 75% of the UK's tidal power, 25% of Europes wind power, 25% of Europes tidal power and 10% of Europes wave power.

Independance is the only way forward for scotland.

[iosis2009]

@ToonArmySeanC thank god some one else believes in the independence of scotland. i will always agree with you on this point

[Sowbert]

@ToonArmySeanC rbs 45.5 billion 

[pokebob4eva]

@ToonArmySeanC Too true...too true Bring oan the Referendum and vote fir freedom! Imagine how much better it will be withoot bein called British :D

[Georgebushbent]

@athlon8700

Snp have got more votes in scottish parliament in every election,leading to a majority this year.they may not be big in the uk parliament but who cares about that.

[Producer3081973]

As a dutchman i vote for a free Scotland

[yermaww94]

People, we must rise up and vote for independence when we get the referendum! ALBA GU BRAITH!

[MsOlivia1001]

Hmm - interesting -not !!

[MsOlivia1001]

Hmm - interesting

[MsOlivia1001]

Irrespective of where you were born and where you are now in the world - I enjoy the music. Mike from U.K.

[albahfc1875]

@athlon8700

Alex salmond is the best politician in Britain, would you rather have that wee shitebag iain gray in charge?

We are doing something about it, but miserable, pessimistic losers like you are far too common.

[nipps05]

Roll on tha morra.....Come on ma fellow SCOTS vote SNP on mass.....Saor Alba

[blindichi]

A terrific, brawling, pub anthem to Scotland independence!

[smccall1314]

This reminds me of a party at the OTC(?) at Glasgow Uni in about 1990. Man, where did life go. :-/

[cheetah2k10]

[JonnyboyUK68]

[mogles99]

hibs are pish to be honest, met proclaimers loads times being from auchtermuchty, but there keeper is alays shite, DUNDEE UNITED FC ALL THE WAY SHED RULE, RETAINING THE CUP AGAIN IS ON THE CARDS|!!!!

[5556665012008]

the funny thing king james who created the union jack and created the united kingdom was son of mary queen of scots and was the king of scotland before he was king of england, technically scotland should have ruled the uk.

[beatlgeuse]

@5556665012008Fucking half wit,,it's called theUnion Flag unless it's on a ship,,,numpty!

[5556665012008]

@beatlgeuse I am on a ship

[rangermatthias]

@5556665012008 I'm on a boat, bitch!

[5556665012008]

@beatlgeuse I am on a ship, if I said union flag half the folk probably wouoldnt know what I was talking about.

[5556665012008]

@beatlgeuse I am on a ship, if I said union flag half the folk probably wouldnt know what I was talking about.

[12Racer99]

@beatlgeuse Haven't heard anyone call someone "numpty" in a long time!

[MrBrassneck]

[rorzz129]

Go onto facebook and join my fight for 'The Proclaimers "Cap In Hand" For Scotland National Anthem' page :) much love fellow Bravehearts.

[Morticia1n]

Wow...his accent is STRONG! I've tried to sing along, but couldn't figure out most of what he was saying :P

[ambercowanx3]

@Morticia1n seriously!? :P

[ncprerunner]

Awesome song. Love my country (America) , but hate the government and their world police practices. America used to be free. Now we're getting over-run by our government. They're taking one freedom at a time, but lately they seem to be taking them faster and faster. To: Obama, the government, greedy corporations / banks....they can all kiss my ass.

[colin7983]

we are proud its not us its down south

[travpoet]

oh hahaha, I live in Saskatchewan, and when I was in Scotland, I heard this song: "I can say Saskatchewan without stuttering". :-)

[Cockwallet]

Substitute 5 million for 500 million.

We beg for scraps of sovereignty from the EU.

[soocheeohperoh]

@Cockwallet Shut your face. The EU? The EU don't rule the UK and even if they did we vote for our MEP's using a system of PR which is actually far more democratic than the FPTP system we use in the UK.

[5556665012008]

@soocheeohperoh scotland votes for everything through pr which IS more democratic its great. its england & westminster that uses crappy fptp, aye they scrap it.

[soocheeohperoh]

@5556665012008 We don't vote for our Westminster representatives in using PR. I think it's a disgrace and you're right but you missed my point.

[555dsmith]

scottish heritage for the WIN!

[RustyJerome]

This song gives me goosebumps. substitute the word million for billion and it would be perfect!

[RustyJerome]

Transcend the tribalism, these lyrics can just as easily apply to the absurdly wealthy Banks, Corporations and government wankers that do their bidding.

[MrBCornish]

To my Great Clan,

Long Live the STUARTS! SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!

[amk68sco]

aye youre no the only ones who will never understand that.

[1745celtic]

Fuck the union Jack we want our country back!!!

[grahampurdie]

Scotland is gods country

[athlon8700]

This is shite, (i am Scottish btw), so many people bullshit about how scotland should have independance, but do nothing about it. Even if scotland did become independant who would we have to rule ??? some pratt called alex salmond, who is getting less votes every election ? answer me that.

[johntzimisces]

scotland does not generate more than it recieves. prove it. the majority of english people would welcome scottish indepedence. i would. if only to keep you lot from moaning,

[stevenrhcp]

@johntzimisces Yep it does. Scotland has the third largest GDP per capita of any region in the United Kingdom after the South East of England and Greater London, Revenue from North Sea oil is not included in these figures. so cry me a river a hole

[nofearoftheunderdog]

I'm not even Scottish but I've got lots of respect for these lyrics!! Thumbs up!!

[81lmac]

"and i can't understand why we let someone else rule OUR land"

[burnthecedars]

All this Scottish nationalism. You'd be bankrupt if it weren't for Westminster. You spend £40b a year and raise £27b. Where does the rest come from - WESTMINSTER. Do the maths and rethink your bigoted blind arguments and stop talking shite.

[81lmac]

@burnthecedars "and i can't understand why we let someone else rule OUR land"

[whingenjock]

@burnthecedars nth sea oil

[coopers2005]

@burnthecedars

The rest comes from all the revenue generated in Scotland sent to direct to the exchequer in Westminster which is not credited as coming from Scotland, for example, oil, gas, electricity from renewables and minerals amongst others.....

Scotland pays it's way, giving more to the UK than it receives.

Do you seriously think it is out of charity for Scotland that the UK doesn't want it to be independent?

[bross001Angus]

Damn I wish is was scottish. Love the scots.

[rpdb]

We Boast...Then we Cower!

[Muskietjes]

Question from Europe mainland... why *do* you let the English rule the most beautiful country in the world?

[robert16902008]

@bairns123 tell me where all your saltires are at septic park timmy? the majority of rangers fans are proud to be scottish, at least you find scottish flags flying proud at ibrox, celtic fans are so anti british and anti scottish you have wonder why the hell do u stay here?

[bairns123]

@robert16902008 you've just proved my point about huns being daft.. since when where celtic fc known as the bairns ? I'm a falkirk supporter and have been all my days hence the name bairns123 . I think celtic alongside rangers make up scotlands shame and drag things into football that just don't belong there however don't make the mistake of thinking there fans are the only ones who hate your unionist shenanigans .

[robert16902008]

@bairns123 whats ur problem? i wasnt speaking to you! whatever u just said is meaningless as it makes no sense because i wasnt talking to you, so fuk if im a rangers man, im also a scottish man jst accept it, just because some1 supports the old firm doesnt mean they're not scottish, nu say ur a falkirk fan?where r u on match days?ur support is a disgrace!u r whats wrong with scottish football! u only show up on the big game! which is hardly ever with falkirk!!

[bairns123]

@robert16902008 You were speaking to me though as you clicked @bairns123. You also typed " why the hell do u stay here " you meaning me I would speculate . Speaking from my own personal experiences I would say there is a rather large contingent of rangers supporters who are unionist and that is something you will have to accept sooner or later as it cannot be denied .

[bairns123]

@robert16902008 why are you slagging the falkirk support ? we outsang the rangers fans at the 2009 cup final and can count ourselfs very unlucky not to have won the game . we also had some 5000 supporters for our 1st division match against dunfermline , baring in mind we've just been relegated . speaking of relegation we filled the away stand at kilmarnock last game of the season and also the previous season up at inverness , you are judging from a point of ignorance you clearly have no idea .

[robert16902008]

@bairns123 falkirk outsang the rangers fans?,come on now i was there and im assuming u where to,that did not happen,lets face facts now half those falkirk fans at hampden dont even follow or go to falkirk games, as half the 200thousand fans who went to manchester dont turn up every weekend for the gers, i respect you for being a falkirk fan it cant be easy and im not meaning that in a bad way,we take trophies for granted at rangers because they come in abundance, being the best is hard sometimes

[bairns123]

@robert16902008 I know a few rangers fans who were very impressed by the falkirk support that day , but you are right some of them wouldn't turn up at TFS . Its not always easy being a falkirk fan but thats not why I support them , I don't follow a team because they win ( not saying you do ) i'm sure you have your own reasons for supporting rangers although with the old firm the glory hunting aspect will always be there , which sadly is one of the reasons other teams support suffers .

[bairns123]

we boast then we cower

to fucking true mate

[pastrychef1985]

Socialist Scotland, Socialist England, Socialist Wales, Socialist Ireland. I dream!!

[peacefrog1916]

Onwards tae Independence. Saor Alba

[robert16902008]

@Allyclark I here what your saying mate, i myself will always vote for independance, but do u not think that the majority of the scottish people see labour as a safe vote? and with the newspapers scrutinising the conservitives and the snp left right and centre doesnt really help matters

[docnon]

I'm only half-Scottish, and born in America but I take great pride in where my ancestors came from. It pains me every time I look at a map and see United Kingdom rather than Scotland and England, SEPERATE as it was meant to be. I hope Scotland gets its independence soon

[ilovevodkame]

im english and if half american scotish people would like to see scottish people independant then im all for it blow hadrians wall and let them float off next to iceland and stop draining my f**kin taxes

[GilleanFreire]

But for England is ok to receve the benefits from scottish oil.

[tommytherig1981]

@ilovevodkame .....get a grip on reality f*ck wit! A drain on your taxes? Typical 'patriotic' English muppet! Try and listen to the actual lyrics to this song and then you will maybe understand the situation! CLOWN

[kingindiana]

this song makes my heart beat.

[lindafairy]

Moan the scots!!! :)

[jesserai]

this song applies to so many people in so many places

[1lionsbetterthan3]

[cbrunton73]

Come on scotlaaaaand!

[qosbhoy]

I know its a big political song but from a Queen of the South fan's perspective I just love the fact that they rip the piss out of Stranraer :D

[AustraliaFare09]

Fly The Saltire High And Be Proud You Are Scottish!

[TheCaptAwesome]

scotland all day

[Rfc1Darryl]

this song makes me wanty knee cap gordan brown .. n any other fucker in the way a scottish independence

[rhind1989]

come on you scots :D:D:D:D fuck the english

[Rfc1Darryl]

good man .. scottish independence 2010 .. lets fuckin make it happen !!!! bonnie scotland, soar alba

[clerihew10]

Given that a Scotsman is Prime Minister and the Chancellor hails from north of the border as well this song rings a bit hollow

[eoinroe47]

ur an arse im irish and evn i kno scotland has run the uk from 17th century. u think ur smart cus u know 2 facts!! look at the bigger bigger ur fucking idiot

[clerihew10]

"arse, fucking, idiot "- thanks for the insight Eoin - clearly a gentleman of letters! Given the Highland pogroms of the mid 18th century and the massive road building scheme to ensure swift movement of troops for instant repression, I'm not sure how that translates into Scotland dominating the UK from the 17th century but you clearly have something that my political history lecturers missed - I guess they must all be "arses" too

[Duncsta22]

They have clearly turned their back on Scotland's best interests though. Mainly because they do not see it as a country.Thats their problem.

[clerihew10]

Well i worked at Alistair Darling's ministry and he made some very pro Scottish decisions. In any case all regions of the UK are resentful of Central Government (I'm from Tyneside and Geordie's feel very separate from the South East where the power lies they just don't have a separate nationality unlike the Scots)

[karvysgirl]

There are SOOOOOO many it depends on what I am feeling when I hear it, but they have a way of reaching into my very core with their lyrics, it give me goosebumps

[karvysgirl]

me too. I LOVE their music, it really touches my soul

[Sanford63]

Love this song, and I'm not even a Scotsman.

[SamuraiClinton]

My mom listens to this song all the time!

She owns the album Sunshine on Leith in which this is the 2nd song after the smash hit "500 Miles".

[JoTheSnoop]

I went to another clip featuring the song by accident. Then decided to go to this one to find out what the lyrics were.

Thanks for putting the lyrics up mate.

[delboy19681968]

anti english song if ever i heard one great stuff

[weejimmykranky]

More anti-union than anti-english I think you may find ;^)

[Amomentofstillness]

@delboy19681968 Anti-union is very different from anti-english but don't let that stop you being offended

[karvysgirl]

Incredible song and lyrics as well...

[TalbotFanMan]

this is argueably their best song, they have loads of awesome songs but this one has a lot going on in it

[SuperstarNeilC]

Great song !!

Thanks for posting !!
