The Proclaimers - Over and Done With

from This Is The Story


This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when my mum said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims
It's over and done with...

This is the story of losing my virginity
I held my breath and the bed held a trinity
People I'm making no claims to no mystery
But sometimes it feel like
My sex life's all history
It's over and done with...

I'm not saying these events didn't
Touch our lives in any way
But, ah, they didn't make the impression
That some people say

This is the story of watching a man dying
The subject's unpopular
But I don't feel like lying
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just washed my hands
Then I went for my dinner

Yeah
It's over and done with...

The guitar in this always reminds be of The Passenger by Iggy. I love playing this song, AND that one on my guitar...anybody out there in youtube land know of other songs that use this same semi-muted strumming pattern??? Gracias!!

And the Proclaimers before that good, first movie was ever birthed. PBB--Pure, Bloody, Brilliant me Scots mates & me consider that movie, and the Proclaimers who came before it.

.....these guys are truly one of the most under rated and under appreciated musicians in the history of music. they're labeled as "one hit wonders". says you......to me, all of their songs are hits.

[Blake Pearson]

Does anyone else think the guitar part sounds like "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop?
