Glaswegians they are not felons, this I have found
Non-pretentious, straight-die people, yes, they abound
Ask the guys at the Barrowlands Club and they'll say I'm straight
I haven't been around for a while, but I was worth the wait

Yes and I, yes I, yes I'm sound as a pound

You know I strive to be original, have my own sound
I don't run my VU records into the ground
I know that I'm no Captain Beefheart or Groucho Marx but I place myself above the mainstream
Up with the sparks

But I, yes I, yes I, I'm sound as a pound

You know I've been a free man for three years now and what have I found
I've found that I can give as good as I get from those around
People say how does that make you feel and I'll say I'm proud
And working now and in my opinion I'm sound as a pound

Yes and I, yes I, yes I'm sound as a pound
