Remember to catch the song in it's original context when A Wee Home From Home starts it's tour next week.     Mother Glasgow  - Michael Marra @ 1988     In the second city of the Empire  Mother Glasgow nurses all her weans  And working hard to feed her little starlings  Unconciously she clips their little wings     And Mother Glasgow's succour is perpertual  Nestling The Billy and The Tim  I dreamed I took a dander with St Mungo  To try to catch a fish that couldna swim     Among the silent bells and flightless birdies  Father Glasgow knows his starlings well  For he will not make his way up to heaven  By waltzing all his charges into hell     And Mother Glasgow's succour is perpertual  Nestling The Billy and The Tim  I dreamed I took a dander with St Mungo  To try to catch a fish that couldna swim     For the tree and the bird and the fish and the bell  Let Glasgow flourish             ]]></description>
