Scottish Block
Vanishing Act in Scottish Shadows: A Tale of Tax Evasion
Lyrics
Some friend a while went underground
Someone's friend went into hiding for a period
Thought he could disappear just so
He believed he could vanish without a trace
Lived all his days with curtains drawn
Lived a reclusive life with closed curtains
Lay low, took the bins out dead of night
Remained hidden, taking out the trash late at night
Thought he could rely on some close community
Expected support from a nearby community
Community in the close but no
No real community support was present
Some friend a while went underground
Reiteration of a friend going into hiding
Thought he could disappear just so
Reiteration of the belief in disappearing
Some friend a while went underground
Reiteration of a friend going into hiding
Thought he could disappear just so
Reiteration of the belief in disappearing
Wished to be lost in a Scottish block
Desired to be lost in a Scottish block, possibly for tax evasion
To duck beneath and pay no tax
Intention to evade taxes by staying hidden
Yet see the day, still see the day
Despite hiding, still anticipated seeing the day
Working always on the black
Engaged in undisclosed and possibly illegal activities
Some friend a while went underground
Reiteration of a friend going into hiding
Thought he could disappear just so
Reiteration of the belief in disappearing
Some friend a while went underground
Reiteration of a friend going into hiding
Thought he could disappear just so
Reiteration of the belief in disappearing
Shopped by a woman on the block
Identified by a woman in the neighborhood
To the men from the district tax invasion corps
Reported to tax authorities by district tax invasion corps
Irregularities not unnoticed
Unusual activities were noticed by authorities
Some peculiar goings on
Suspected irregularities or suspicious behavior
Some friend a while went underground
Reiteration of a friend going into hiding
Thought he could disappear just so
Reiteration of the belief in disappearing
