My Sunny Saint: Video (YouTube link)
In January 2010 I lost one of my best mates: Derek Menzies. He basically just dropped dead on his way to see St Mirren, it was a real shocker and very upsetting, I was totally gutted actually. Anyway, I guess I needed a vent for my emotions in the run-up to his funeral - so I wrote a wee song... Derek was a huge St Mirren fan and was very well known as 'Sunny Foxbar Saint' on blackandwhitearmy.com - which is the main Buddies fan site/forum, and Foxbar is the area of Paisley where Derek made his home with Maureen. It's basically a very simple song of laughter, drinking, friendship...
My Sunny Saint We laughed so hard we cried Tears welling up in my eyes Draining off your Dublin Blue Two more for me and you Shaking like a bag of bones Laughing right through to our toes The bar and bus: they're calling time ...and we feel fine
My Sunny Saint You're making me laugh, you're making me cry Keeping me warm when it's cold outside Just one ray of light shining down from you... ...and I'll feel fine My Sunny Saint
My Sunny Saint Too soon for us to say goodbye But thank you for the light in my life And if I'm old and feeling blue I'll still raise one to me and you And when I get to feeling so sad I'll think about the times we had So let the bartender call for time ...cause I feel fine
My Sunny Saint You're making me laugh, you're making me cry Keeping me warm when it's cold outside Just one ray of light shining down from you... ...and I'll feel fine My Sunny Saint
My Sunny Saint You make me feel good, you make me feel high When I'm with you it's always black and white Just one ray of light shining down from you... ...and I'll feel fine My Sunny Saint
