Sunshine on Leith
1
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
When my spirit just drives away
With a faith of a bit of luck
Or a half-tonne bomb
In the back of the truck
I think we just
went over something.
There's something
caught in the tracks.
What's going on?
I think the lead vehicle's
got a mechanical.
See if you can reach it.
If it's tomorrow or if it's today
I don't say it will be
I just say it may
When I'm on my knees
To the gates I'll stumble
And plead my case
In a style that's humble
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
It could be tomorrow
or it could be today
Smell that, Davy?
That's the future.
That's the brewery.
- What's up wi' you?
It always feels weird coming back,
especially without Ronnie.
We'll see Ronnie soon enough.
We're home, Davy.
Have you thought about
what you're gonna do now that we're out?
Aye, loads.
Most of it involves your sister.
- Ally, don't go getting carried away.
- I'm not getting carried away.
You can't just expect her
to drop everything.
- That's exactly what I expect her to do.
- Hey, right?
- Did you get bread?
Yeah.
I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
- Uh-huh
- Uh-huh
I'm on my way
from misery to happiness today
- Uh-huh
- Uh-huh
I'm on my way
to what I want from this world
And years from now
I'll make it to the next world
And everything
that I receive up yonder
Is what she gave to me
the day I wandered
I took a right
I took a right a-turning yesterday
- Uh-huh
- Uh-huh
I took a right
I took a right a-turning yesterday
Yay, yay, yay, yeah
We took the road
that brought us to our home town
We took the train
to streets that we could walk down
We walked the streets
to find the one we've looked for
We climbed the stairs
that led us to the front door
And now that I don't
want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing...
'...I'm sitting on
top of the world!'
- Mum, have you seen my keys?
- No.
- There's soup there. You want some?
- I haven't got time.
You cannae go to work
on an empty stomach, Liz.
- Mum, I'm late.
- Try getting up a bit earlier.
- Can you not, Dad?
- Here.
I'm sitting on top of the world
- Oh, my God!
- Davy.
What were you doing?
I can't believe you didn't tell me.
Are you good?
We weren't expecting you
till tomorrow.
They let us go early.
- I was worried you'd be working.
- I am. I'm just out the door.
I'm on lates this week.
Sorry.
Hey, son.
- Good to see you.
- You too, son, you too.
- You hungry?
- Aye.
- Sit down.
- Welcome home, Davy.
- Thank you.
- Walk me to my bus.
- OK.
- Come on.
- I'll see you later, Mrs Henshaw.
- See you later, Ally.
Good to have you both back.
Come here.
Oh, Mum.
So, you can let your
hair grow again.
- I suppose I could, aye.
- There's nothing stopping you now.
The world's your oyster.
I hate oysters.
It's just snot in a shell.
Right, I've got to go.
