Orange Juice - Three Cheers For Our Side lyrics

I'm just like a whisper on the breeze Praying to the team oh don't say me I'm just like a whistler on the tree Praying to the breeze oh don't move me I've seen that silence can break your heart It's like a bond of iron we'll rend apart We sit her in torpor by our old fireside And just agree to differ --- Three cheers for our side You can laugh at danger all day long Still be laughing when the sun has gone Be wise to history Open your eyes and declare to me See them wending, never ending, smiling cheers You know that very shortly they'll turn to tears We sit here for ever by our old fireside And won't sing in spring --- Three cheers for our side Say not so long Sift through the sand Wave of the hand Goodbye
