I heard this song on the radio about 1985, and loved it. Found it again on EweToob. It's Scottish - can you figure it out?
Kelite Clippie
Words from 'The Scottish Folksinger' by Norman Buchan and Peter Hall. The song was written by John Watt.
I have travelled roon' this country from shore to shining shore,
Frae the swamps o' Auchterderan tae the jungles o' Lochore,
But in all these far-flung places, there's none that can compare
Wi' the lily o' the Lumphinans. She's ma bonnie Maggie Blair.
CHORUS: Oh, she's just a Keltie Clippie. She'll no' tak nae advice.
It's "Ach, drop deid. Awa' bile your heid. Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waster. Her mither's on the game.
She's just a Keltie Clippie but I love her just the same.
Frae the pyramids up in Keltie tae the mountains in Glencraig,
We've trod the bings together in mony's the blithe stravaig,
Watched the moonlight over Crosshill, trod Buckhaven's golden sand,
And mony's the happy 'oor we've spent in Lochgelly's happy land. CHORUS
Well, I met her on the eight fifteen that nicht o' romantic bliss.
I says "Hey, Mag! Pit doon yer bag and gie's a wee bit kiss."
Well, she didnae tak' that kindly. No, she didnae like ma' chaff,
And bein' a country kind o' lass, she say's "Come oan, get aff." CHORUS
Noo she hisnae got nae culture. Ach, she drive's me roon the bend.
She sits every nicht in an old armchair readin' the People's Friend.
Her lapels is fu' o badges frae Butlin's doon at Ayr
And she gang's tae the bingo every nicht wi' the curlers in her hair. CHORUS
But things is a wee bit better noo. Ah've gone and bocht the ring.
I won' it frae Jim at the pitch and toss last nicht at the Lindsay Bing.
Wi' her wee black hat and her ticket machine, she did my heart ensnare.
She's the Lily o' the Lumphinnans. She's ma bonnie Maggie Blair."

Regarding that 1980 The Summer - Vinyl from derek, I really enjoy a lot of those old compilation albums. You can grab them pretty cheaply most times and it's a fun way to listen to a mix of an era unfiltered through the years the way people kind of package things up neatly over time. It can be like dialing up an old radio station in the days before increasingly narrow formatting drove it all into a homogeneous bore at every stop of the dial.
Anyway, listening to:
Tricky: Adrian Thaws
Gonna hafta return this copy to Amazon, most warped new record I've ever seen. But, on the Technics with a Stanton I can still track it pretty well actually so have gotten in a good listen. If you are one of those people who think Maxinquaye is the only good Tricky album, this won't change your mind. But, if you've been a fan of his over the years, it's a really solid outing and is more cohesive than most with a bit more of a straight hip hop focus, sorta like Juxtapose in that regard. I tend to think with modern hip hop dealing increasingly in more experimental beats and textures these days, Tricky is sounding more current than he has in a while even if he is sounding pretty much the same as ever. I'm fine with that. Your mileage may vary.

Listening to some hammered dulcimer music, off an LP I found today at a garage sale (fifty cents). Local musicians, local record label, from 1978. The grooves sound pristine, and the cover was in nice shape. Just don't feel like taking a photo and posting it. Hey, it doesn't always have to be classic rock...
