Words by Wesley Scott
Recorded and Produced by Fraser McBride
Filmed and Edited by John McIntosh & Fraser McBride
Verse 1.
Aye, here we are a year on, with another scheme song, 'cause the scheme is back on, all fours gettin' shown. No everybody's pleased, 'cept for the BBC makin' out that everyone from here is junkies. Well that's no true, we don't all take blues, don't all run around in bare socks and sand shoes. Crusin down Raithburn, White Berlingo, Drivin' fast in case a brick goes through my window, up above Knockinlaw, Down below Wardneuk, it's no our fault that it looks like Beirut. Most folks decent folk, don't get me wrong though, ye get the odd bam, she's a Mongo. Along comes a camera crew just to take the piss. Edit it to make it look worse than it really is. The Point of it zero, Junkies to heroes. Sing along with me as we go back to...
In Onthank, concrete jungle shown on the TV, a program called the scheme. Lets here it for Onthank, The folks that live there are brand new see them on the scheme tours. Lets here it for Onthank, Onthank, Onthank.
Verse 2.
You can find me in Gardrum, where I used to play, Hide N Seek, Sodjies, Hunt the Cunt, Kirby. Or round in Meiklewood dain' the Grand National, aye I was a roaster, never was a Ned though. Sippin' Mad Dog, or on Buckie. Trees swings best, on the mount trees. Head up the Foxes looking for porn mags, spend a tenner on a claise pole lap dance. A1 Tandoori . Anne Marie Morley. Do you call it Morven or Morphine Avenue? Cider Charlie, Hat of a jester. James the Bibles Names. Hunter Centre. Mutant weans playin' chappie. Onthank fete. Rest in peace Nana Cree. Long live the centre, long live Bullet. Don't be scared when walking through it.
In Onthank, concrete jungle shown on the TV, a program called the scheme. Lets here it for Onthank, The folks that live there are brand new see them on the scheme tours. Lets here it for Onthank, Onthank, Onthank.
Verse 3.
Lives are ruined for car crash viewing, would they have been in it if they knew what they were doing? Ardbegs still shut. Cree's won't give in. When they get inside, it's a sit in. At Glesga Kerry's it's a time warp shit tip, first to get up gets to wear the Rangers strip. Piece and sausage, heroin chaser. Blue tongue, dung tongue, rotten teeth wasters. It's front page news he didnae choose the blues, forget the royal wedding Marvin's heading for the big hoose. Roses and Milk tray, Happy as Larry. Him and Dayna's got clean and getting Married. Lets wish them the best that goes for all of them, here's to Kay, all the Cree's and the Cunningham's. They call us scum because it sells, its no heaven but it's no hell.
In Onthank, concrete jungle shown on the TV, a program called the scheme. Lets here it for Onthank, The folks that live there are brand new see them on the scheme tours. Lets here it for Onthank, Onthank, Onthank.

I've got tae laugh when they call it shitty, they could film it in any town or any city. No place in Killie that can compare? Well that's no fair, have you seen Shortlees? Nae offence Shortlese.
In Onthank, concrete jungle shown on the TV, a program called the scheme. Lets here it for Onthank, The folks that live there are brand new see them on the scheme tours. Long live Onthank, Onthank, Onthank.

@lisastewart Im sorry If we have made you mad Lisa but as Richard has pointed out It was a quote from the show. I dont wish to offend anyone. That goes for the Shorlees community as well. The song is a piss take and a dig at how Onthank was shown in The Scheme. I dont want the comments on this video to turn nasty so I hope you accept my apology and thats the end of it.
