Tom Weir, Tom Weir
Plus-fours and a wee woolly hat
Three cheers for Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
Tom Weir, balladeer
Musketeer, always up for the crack
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
His trousers indicated
He was sadly dislocated from the future.
Discussing history
With a Weegie or a Fifer or a Teuchter
Free beer for Tom Weir
Tom Weir and his wee canvas sack.
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
His red nose manifested
Many years had been invested in the bevvy (hic).
From Eigg to Rum and Coll
With double single malt and a wee heavy
Free gear for Tom Weir
Tom Weir and his wee woolly hat
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
Plus-fours and a wee woolly hat
Three cheers for Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
Tom Weir, balladeer
Musketeer, always up for the crack
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
His trousers indicated
He was sadly dislocated from the future.
Discussing history
With a Weegie or a Fifer or a Teuchter
Free beer for Tom Weir
Tom Weir and his wee canvas sack.
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
His red nose manifested

From Eigg to Rum and Coll
With double single malt and a wee heavy
Free gear for Tom Weir
Tom Weir and his wee woolly hat
Three cheers, Tom Weir
Tom Weir, king of the anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks
The anoraks, the anoraks, the anoraks

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
sigh. this is a song and a half. i got the pleasure of witnessing the feldy play this last August in Inverness. it was my favourite song of the whole festival.
