i hate scotland

• ballboy'un 3 adet ep'sinin bir araya getirilmesi ile oluşturulmuş 2001 çıkışlı club anthems albümün 6 no'lu parçası . . . ilk dinlediğimde, "hayat hakkında hissettiklerim kulaklarımın arasından bir arıza kayıt şeridi gibi geçti," cümlesini kurmama sebep olmuştur . . . hayat hakkında söylenmiş birkaç kayda değer parçalardan . . . ne belkisi, tabii ki iskoçya ile alakası yok . . .
  sözlerini gururla sunar:
  
  sometimes in my life
  i take all my hopes and dreams
  all my ambitions and all my aspirations
  and i give them all up
  trade them all in
  put them all to one side
  
  for a springboard^**
  and a pair of shorts
  and a plain white t-shirt
  and the ability to do a perfect backflip^*
  
  i think if i could do it
  the seconds would feel like hours to me
  it would be like medicine
  staying with me during the days and during the weeks
  when i'm just pushing on
  just getting by
  
  and it's funny how your life is^*
  it's funny how you can spend years and years
  building up layer by layer
  and then throw it all away in a second
  
  and i'm not all what i used to be
  and although i've more or less accepted it
  although i'm no longer trying to change it
  i still regret it
  i regret it every day
  
  i'm not all what i used to be
  
  maybe it's scotland i hate
  i know i hate so many things about it
  i hate the way punishments are the heart of everything
  i hate the way parents beat their children
  i hate the way everything always has to be someone's fault
  even though some things just happened
  some things just happened!
  
  i hate the way people bring up their children
  to be exactly the same as they are
  just so they can justify the way they've lived their lives
  
  i hate the way we expect to fail
  and then we fail
  and then we get bitter because we failed
  
  maybe it's scotland i hate
  
  maybe scotland's got nothing to do with it
  maybe all this has got nothing to do with anything
  
  but i know that i would give it all up
  trade it all in
  
  for a springboard
  and a pair of shorts
  and a plain white t-shirt
  and a perfect backflip
  
  a springboard
  and a pair of shorts
  and a plain white t-shirt
  and a perfect backflip
  
  i'd give it all up for that
  i'd give it all up for that
  i'd give it all up for that
