A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

“Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”.

And music played in the penny arcade.
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
“Roll up and spend your last dime!”

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

“Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”.

Roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last dime!”

Doesn't it fill your heart with pride?

No, me neither.

What happened to Neil Lennon was a disgrace. He was driven out of international football by the secterian bigots, and now the same idiots are trying to drive him out as Celtic manager.

They're only jealous because somebody from Northern Ireland who happens to be a Catholic has become succesful.

My father lives in Northern Ireland and you see some of the estates, they have paving stones in either the Irish Tri-colour or Union flag, and flags flying depending on what side of the divide you come from.

Your right it is a disgrace, but I doubt it was the same people who are doing this to him that done it previously..
And total nonsense to say that those who are responsible are jealous of him..

And you tell us nothing new inregards to painted pave stones in certain areas of norn ireland..
I could take you to parts of Glasgow and scotland that have the same thing..

Okay so now we are getting somewhere. It is a charity initiative to raise funds for what seems to be a worthwhile cause.

Nothing wrong with that. Presumably the Rangers fans sing it at every match, not just at Old Firm games.

Re: is this sectarian ?

Correct, its played at every home game..all monies raised go to erskine.
