The Proclaimers - Cap In Hand

[paulinesmith44]

I wish people wouls stop believing that the English have NO oil. do u all seriously believe that the oil flow stops at the border?? The cunning bastards have raped the North sea oil til it's almost dry and when it is ...guess what they will do ? let us be independent and make us BUY the fuckin oil under English waters...aye they know what they are doin alright...thing is ...we need to stop them before it's too late.

[TheCiller10]

they are like blond frankie boyles. love this song

[eksteelman]

for goodness sake - calm down

[TheJacobiker]

Alba gu Brath!!!!

[ilovegoth]

I WISH I was Scotish so I could feel some Scotish pride when I watch this. Does "looking Scottish" count? Gosh I love this song. I can feel the frustration and pride though. When I visited I heard some guys talk about the situation. I have read some about the Irish conflicts as well. Until today I thought he was saying "capitan". Which I had guessed meant "Captain" with a Scotish lilt.

[TheCiller10]

@ilovegoth The song is relevant for any country whose people bow to any government. That is why I love this song even though I am Irish. Yhink free then be free. No need for any government

[TheCiller10]

@ilovegoth The song is relevant for any country whose people bow to any government. That is why I love this song even though I am Irish. think free then be free. No need for any government

[colin7983]

we all need to do is stick toghther were not all for gb we want scotland back its ours not yours so let it go or do we have to revive wallace

[uberpedant]

When do I (an Englishman) get to vote to make Scotland independant. The constant whinning is not funny anymore. Put up or shut up Scotland.

[1scot4scotland]

@uberpedant

I'm afraid you don't get the privilege of voting for Scottish Independence, not because you're English, but because England has been broken and is under the control of Westminster itself. England no longer exists really, North West, North East, Yorkshire & Lincolnshire, West Midlands, East Midlands, West and South, London and the South East. NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE ENGLAND'S ADVISE ON HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY

WHEN ENGLAND IS ITSELF CULTURALLY AND FINANCIALLY INSOLVENT!!

VOTE SNP.

[perger1973]

@1scot4scotland England is a joke, why did you have yo say so in so many words :)

[MrPPower67]

@uberpedant you dont get to vote in our affairs and believe me the sooner we're separate from people like you the better for us

Alba gu brath

[NorthernExposure1966]

This song rings true for folks around the world. I'm Canadian (Scottish) but it always hit a spot for me. We are a great people but the world thinks we are "american".

[jhmiller100]

@NorthernExposure1966 ... no, we don't

[soocheeohperoh]

@NorthernExposure1966 Canadian's are American. In the same sense that Scottish people are European. Shame the USA gets called America. Brings Canada down.

[gersman1962]

@soocheeohperoh Canadiens are NOT american.

[Vanyaloth]

@gersman1962 Well...if you want to get really technical about it, you could say they are. North Americans. :P That's pushing it, I know, but technically that makes Canadians a sort of American people. Now why can't the "Americans" look at it that way? 

[Cervy18]

@soocheeohperoh lol right, because Canada is such a dominant and relevant world power (not)

[islogical]

Always proud to say they were my neighbours, albeit a short while, but it was in Leith...well close to Leith.

[pastrychef1985]

Pride for socialism!

[MrRodders12345]

I'm just a Geordie(on the border!) but hey man,what a bloody brilliant song,from the best group ever!

[752249]

God bless David Cameron and his "partners" - everybody in Scotland can rest easy that democracy is dead and buried in this new era of consensus government.

[bringbackjericho]

you fannies you no nothin about scotland go back and read your scottish history book ya fanny xxxxx

[morrissian]

It's a great song.But you've gotta admit that its turned full circle and the Scots are ruling England now and have been doing so for a while.Now the Scots have the upper hand in Brittish politics and all England's money goes there and to Wales and N Ireland.

[avatarNbraveheart]

these 2 scots are brilliant

[TheScottishRocker]

We are more than ready.

The Scottish budget was just passed today, I suggest you take a look especially on the economic situation.

Well done to the SNP!

[AngelsAllAroundMe]

I don't know what it is (call me a dingbat), but there is just something sexy about these brothers...the coke-bottle glasses, huge mouths...don't know, but daaaammmmnnnnnnnnn...they're hot!

[fletchy72]

I love the Proclaimers, and I love the Scots, but this song not only defines the battle between Scot/Brit, it defines a battle that most countries fight throughout the world. Every government is a dictatorship, they all do as they wish, they take as they please, and make billion dollar mistakes without any repercussions. Instead of bashing our common man, it's time to rage against the machine. The entire world under government power is cap in hand. Fight the suits, not each other.

[fionndan]

theres truth in that - but thats not a reason to allow ourselves to be ruled by 'suits' from a foreign land rather than 'suits' from our own land. it doesnt make any sense. we should rule ourselves by holding those whom we invest with power accountable. popular sovereignty.

[XXABB]

Great stuff!

5stars

[ChillJill74]

you know wat i think !! people tar all british folk with the same brush. Do you really think the vast majority of english people agree with wat their government does?? we live in a facist society folks. I have loved The Proclaimers since i was 13 n have no racist comments to say about anyone. I LOVE THIS SONG AND EVERY SONG THEY HAVE EVER WRITTEN, I AM ENGLISH, SLAG ME OFF IF YOU WANT.

[weecoby3]

No slaggin' from me my friend! In fact, you seem like the kind of person I'd like to take out for a right good bevvy!

[ChillJill74]

Why thank you my friend. Tis good to get feedback from people with their heads screwed on the right way n not folk who obviously cant think outside the box x

[mikeyboy7777777]

or watch the patriot if ur starting with mel gibson

[stucelt]

i cant be serious?? why? because England rule Scotland,only because they need to lets face it what would England be without Scottish water and Scottish oil? ancient rules don't apply nowadays they were born British under protest and will die European under British stupidity :)

[VasilisBotoulas]

They were born British and die British..?? You can't be serious friend...

[eoinroe47]

Vasilis - take ur uneducated 'friend' and ram it ryt ryt up ur arse - scotch style!!

[VasilisBotoulas]

What's your problem man? No need to swear. You're saying their Scottish and I'm saying the same thing. Take it easy

[stucelt]

boogieeck you talk pish,yes the goalie was Goram but i too know these guys personally and never once have they described themselves as British,in fact i have heard more anti English songs and quotes from "the specks" as I'm sure youll know since claiming you were at school with them than any other non old firm supporting band

[boogieeck]

The Hibs goalie in question was Andy Goram, I knew Craig and Charlie at school. I love this song, but, seriously folks, they were born British, they will live long and happy lives and die British. This is a good thing

[twinkletwinkle72]

ALBA GU BRATH

[MajicTV]

Magic. My favourite Proclaimers song.

Very fitting this week.

[t71558r]

puts pride in my scotish!!!

[evo1dee4life]

[rolandsausage]

Vote SNP - nae union!

[whobuddy1]

viewfourth.......go lay down! These guys rock!

[dedfreex]

heheh, you've been booed by people that aren't a scot and think you just said something that means something completely different in america :)

[cuteymus]

great, i love them, nothing better than scottish people doing there thing yahoooooooooooo.

[solitudinarian]

Outstanding! 5/5*

[Hodgypie]

beautiful song

[justinasturdee]

what a great band. it astonishes me how people comment on videos they don't like..... seems like they have nothing better to do then go looking for videos they don't like

[mrbonedigger]

well said Kidvicious they all cunts

[akastuntfish]

aye well mrbonedigger its not your land, so its quite easy to be impartial. If you live in the highlands it seems to feel all too current

[bennyfaethebrig]

Dont they have currents in the Highlands? I'm sure it's called the Gulf Stream

[mrbonedigger]

well if you live in the lowlands, and my family have for over 1300 years ( ya sheep shagging fucker), then you just know that the highland opinion is worthless to scotland. always has been

[KidVicious541]

Wow the comments on this song are a bunch of angry jack asses. The comment box is for expressing your thoughts on video. Not for bickering like a bunch of 10 year olds. Everyone has their own opinion, and none of you have the right to hate on other peoples comments.

Get the fuck over yourselves, no matter where you're from.

[akastuntfish]

who are you to judge anyone, i take it you think you know better kidvicious?

[KidVicious541]

You guys are fuckin arguing over comment boxes and now you got me in it. Great. Fuck off ya worthless sack of shit

[Britslayer]

what a graceful response. u need to learn to not be obnoxiously immature

[bennyfaethebrig]

I have the right to hate your comment, Ido hate it not for it's content but for it's idiocy. As for 10 year olds? When you mature enough to aspire to a ten year old in intelligence, then you maybe, just maybe allowed to join the adult world.

[KidVicious541]

Lol the adult world isn't arguing like a bitch over youtube dude. If you want to discuss idiocy how pointless do you think this is? You fail, just so you know. Youtube is not the adult world lmao.

[pavementchaser]

stay in england ya dimwitted idiot, our money,our culture,our history feek off ye prick

[bennyfaethebrig]

check yer information ya nugget.. its not our money.. the only legal tender in Scotland is bank of england notes.. even our own money isnt  fúcking ours!

[haddingtonbb41]

Its hardly a stumbling block!!!! Im not surprized if th eonly legal tender is that of of england such is the control they like to take.

[KardKaper]

What are you on about? The Royal Bank of Scotland produces their own notes - thats legal tender. We still use the pound Sterling, but thats the UK currency, not English currency.

[elginbabe]

Uh, no. You get notes from:

Bank of Scotland

Royal Bank of Scotland

Clydesdale Bank

ALL Scottish and ALL accepted

[KardKaper]

yup

[pavementchaser]

see stuntfish yer right on m8

[pavementchaser]

aye ya robbing bastards come up here buying our land for holiday homes fuck off english youre not wanted LIMEYS GO HOME

[TartanarmyMagazine]

Free Scotland...its our time

[jeeliepeece]

Aye cap in hand.

[shaundaauzzue]

as an australian i can relate to this song

with apologies to the proclaimers i will share my version

we fought where they told us

we died in ther places

when the Japs came

they said your on your own

thats why i cant understand

why we can't rule our land.

cap in hand

[peggylynnlovetrester]

Thank God for America!

[bennyfaethebrig]

the thing that really annoys me is.. ok, give the Scots a parliament, let them rule in their own world. i was never asked the question, do i want Independence!.. do the London government think we are so dense that we cant haVE A GO AT RULING OURSELVEVES?

[bennyfaethebrig]

just a wee bit of comment from a Scotsdman living in Manchester...See when you get annoyed about the English refusing to take our bank notes?. SThe only legal tender in the UK is notes issued by the bank of england, so even the royal bank, bank of scotland and clydesdale bank notes are not legal tender.. even in in Scotland. So dont shout at the English for refusing to take them

[pavementchaser]

ya lowland fuck get bent ya sorft southern cunt

[ChillJill74]

is there really any need to swear to get your point across?

[metalli07]

Scotland doesn't even have a national bank now HBOS its funded by (mainly english) taxpayers. What would scotland run an economy with?

[akastuntfish]

what about all the oil, hydro electric power, wind power and everything else the dirty f.e.b steal from us!

[skinnytinny]

In fact, fuck it! I can't think of anyone else I know who would be bothered either. Stop having a go at the English in general, It's only the Scottish politicians in London who want you.

[skinnytinny]

It wouldn't bother me if you pissed off, to be honest.

[shanghailow]

Englishhammer again leaving stupid, ignorant and uninformed comments on The Proclamer tracks. Listen carefully to the lyrics then read your statement u clown. They are talkin about people like u. My patriotic friend is correct. From oil alone Scotland has brought in over 200Billion in the last 30yrs. Please don't think we need your pathetic slum of a country to rule our land.

U remind me of that muppet Cameron when he said he loved "Eton Rifles" by The Jam.

[1englishhammer]

you'ed never survive....just like wales,love the proclaimers though :)

[TalbotFanMan]

your a fucking tosser Scotland would get on a lot better if we were not joined to yous fucking shit hole of a country, what a fucking dick heed you are

[1englishhammer]

yeah but ur scottish......i think you'll find that wins any argument....ever :)

Schoolboy banter gets schoolboy banter back....I know u r but what am i?

[TalbotFanMan]

go fuck yourself you know that Englang would sick into nothing without Scotland, when the English go abroad they say they are Brittish because no one in the world likes England apart from the sad pathetic tosser like you that live there in a fucking trance about the real world, independence for Scotland, FUCK England

[DeepBlueHush]

Racist hypocrite.

[rufussy1]

You go Talbot = Fucken waste of space those bloody whiny little pommie english faggots. Mate the Irish, Scots and Welsh are something to be proud of!

To all you English pommie faggots - say cheese to the Aussie flag!

So you continue to blame the current English population for sumat that happened before sum of us were born?? Well i think its about time that we in england started to verbally attack italy (Roman invasion) and scandinavia (Viking invasion)?? what do you think they ruled us for some time so why not eh ???

[eltel0686]

love this song! been all about scotland as an independent nation for years now. lyrics are so true, especially "we beg for a piece of whats already ours"

come on scotland! we would be fine without them!! we have the oil lets give independence a chance

[ALFJAG]

Quality

[haddingtonbb41]

great song, brilliant lyrics, its ashame that the lyrics are true although the age of the scottish coward does seem to be changing. Labour is dead, viva la salmond.

[Countzeb]

Coward???

[smatyk]

Great song, sad that its political message has been so diluted.

[antifolkhero]

Totally underrated band, despite the success of 500 Miles.

[jockinabox]

[stabtheimage]

[antifolkhero]

What does he teach?

[stabtheimage]

music history, theory, songwriting amongst other guff, HNC level

[antifolkhero]

Awesome. I wish I could take a class with him. I love their music.

[konijnmetazijn]

[terresti]

It IS an awesome song.

[funnyman1888]

Amazing song, Mon the Scots!

[boogieeck]

[shockme25159]
