Canter Lyrics
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start movin' like you're running out of time
The realisation coming over your mind
That it should be a canter
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half ae' the time

This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time
The roof is on fire and it's raining outside
But it should be a canter
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half ae' the time

Because the hardest part of the game
Isn't even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'
Oh, it's a wee crying shame
Here comes the rain

This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time
The roof is on fire and it's raining outside
But it should be a canter
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half ae' the time

They tell you it's no easy
They tell you that it's hard
They say it's impossible to mend a broken heart
The lead role in a tragedy pretending that it's art
And it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start

I could write a stanza and put you in a song
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong
Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong
You'll never be a king when you're acting like a pawn
Because the hardest of the game
Isn't even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about playin' the game
Oh, it's a wee crying shame
Here comes the rain

One man did that, one man, his loop pedal, and his guitar got that reaction from that crowd...what a fuckin legend 👏

How many musicians get that sort of reception, the whole of Hampden were behind him, what a man, what an artist - superb .

[Just.ine]

Best night and best concert I’ve ever been to hands down, from start to finish it was special ❤️

[Asty]

One guy in a flat cap with guitar, that's all you need to get a crowd jumping. Absolutely phenomenal performance and crowd.

[Ssssshhhhh]

That has to be one of the single greatest live performances ever. Absolutely incredible. What a talent...

[OnAMissionForAdventure]

That's just brought tears to my eyes. Reliving that night, the joy on everyone's face was off the scale from start to finish the whole gig. Thank you, Gerry, for one of the most unforgettable memories I'll cherish for life ❤

[ozzygorton]

I'm listening to this song in the USA, Truly awesome song!

[HendyJosh]

One of the most iconic gigs in Scotland this century. So glad I was there

[kerrymacleod]

I was there, best gig of my life, one man commanding the stage like that was mind blowing. Atmosphere electric!! ❤❤

[bikerboys]

Gerry always makes you proud of being Bloody awesome

[DavidBranco]

How can a Portuguese man like myself feel this songs to the bone?... How? I love it with my heart and soul. Gerry, you're fuckin' brilliant!

[matthewmajor]

Saw Gerry at Leeds festival 2024 best live act I have seen ever and he was the best by miles what. A guy man I wished I could of seen him at hamden Park looked & sounded amazing some fans they were wow 🤩

[bmwZ]

Never happier to see a musician make it. Some man.

[traceyrdesinski]

Okay first of all. My cousin somehow found this dude on Spotify and is currently obsessed with him. His story blows my mind and the crowds he draws are unbelievable. He is so talented! He's never even been over here to the US! But know that we love him already. Sidenote... He looks exactly like my Irish cousins over here in Philly. Holy crap😮

[LoxiDays]

The fact that you can hear how emotional he is towards the end really gets me as well 🥲 Imagine having to crowdfund your first album release and then only a few years later you get this response to your song. Mental, what a man.

[Tukkerrandy]

A powerful song, a selfmade artist, one of the most engaged crowds ever. Top 3 live ever performances for me
