Great song and video. 1:00 looks like Mickey Rourke of "Barfly" a bit of a cult classic film about drinkers in the seedier side of town.

It's a horrible subject,isn't it? On a recent return to Scotland I saw on a news programme that in one year recently,2.5 million cases of this type happened in South-West Scotland alone...as a person with experience of boozing,I advise ye Scots to take extra care when you're drinking "The Water O' Life" because sometimes it can lead to the opposite......

@nacho1560 My husband would agree with you! And my folks crossed the water a long time ago. The Scottish blood will out, LOL!!!

As a child, my brothers and I were the recipients of the "drunken man" as was our mum! The police couldn't intervene and the neighbours despised us! Having said that, not one of us kids ever beat our kids, and treat them as gold as they should be. Just a sad delusioned man who knew no better.............................his childhood was dreadful.........

Anyone who's seen the great film, Trainspotting, which is most about druggies, will remember the most violent and abusive character was an alky.

So true of life in major cities in the 1950's and 60's when women & children had so much to be fearful of.

having worked in the DV field one thing really surprised me, not so much that there are approx 1.5 million reported cases per year of DV against women, bad enough though slightly on the decrease. But what surprised me is that there are approx 900.000 cases of DV against men and the figure is rising fast!

Deerie deerie me. What painfully sad memories of growing up in Glasgow in the 50s this lovely wee sad song conjures up " Sad eyed weemin dragin' greetin'faced weans roon' the Pubs on a Friday night, lookin for her man, who's went straight tae the Pub frae' the Shipyaird, Wi' his full peypoke in his bin" It was usually a race against time. The sooner she found him. The less chance he had "tae drink the bluidy lot". And when she did she'd probably get punch in the gub for her trouble!

Then I'm sorry to hear that. But you can't condemn all men, because some of us are pure dicks!
