Proclaimers, The - Over And Done With Lyrics
This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when my mum said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims
It's over and done with...
This is the story of losing my virginity
I held my breath and the bed held a trinity
People I'm making no claims to no mystery
But sometimes it feel like
My sex lifes all history
It's over and done with...
Touch our lives in any way
But, ah, they didn't make the impression
That some people say
This is the story of watching a man dying
The subjects unpopular
But I don't feel like lying
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just washed my hands
Then I went for my dinner
It's over and done with...

Proclaimers, The Over And Done With Comments
Only just watched the film and holy moly im going ti watch it again its great.
How many times as an adult have we “washed our hands” of something so we could move onto the next most important thing?” Just saying.
I reckon one has got have a bit of life before the true meaning of life can register. Just saying.
Шотландия ме доведе тук.
Great little tune....and you had to ruin it with that irritating self-conscious "wi". It's WITH. Notice how they managed to avoid mangling the word in Sunshine On Leith? Cast of actors doing your own song better than you.
I work as a carer in a residential home for people with dementia, some of whom end up on end of life care and pass away.
Every time we lose someone, when I get in my car I put this on full blast and sing along to it.
Before now I've done exactly as it said in the song, just sorted them, washed my hands and get some food.
This is the story of my Aunty’s Teachers’ friend having a slight against me ... Just ask Ann! I’ve not fo gotten - early 1983 Coolaroo Primnary School!
THIS IS THE STORYOF Havv
This is the story of me losing my virginity ..l
This is the story of y life...
“This is the stormy of my teacher who was friends with my Aunty who then had a massive slight against men.”
If only I could let it go
well done kevin and paul, didnt know.
Yeah it’s all over and done with!
“Tell Anthony I love him!”
“Do what?...”
“Tell Anthony...I love him”
*gives puzzled look* “...Alright, man”
Pretty sure y’all know this movie 😉
Such an underrated moment in the movie.
Chris Wolff I love the execution of it too 😂 Wes Anderson did a fine ass job for a debut movie!
David Tennant brought me here
Sheland made her jumpers,
The devil made her features’ poetic song
Thanks
Better than stone roses
Why has it taken more than 30 years for me in Australia to reliaise just how bloody good the Proclaimers are?
I brought myself here because I love the music
They obviously want kiss each other. The one on the left, though,'s got the body. The one on the right just writes the songs.
"to" is missing.
Fine jocks
There's some genius lyrics in this song, which say so much with so few words: 'This is the story of our first teacher, Shetland made her jumpers and the devil made her features'. 'When i think of it now I acted like a sinner, i just washed my hands and i went for my dinner'
Watch Mac Demarco and Andy man do this live it's great
Love this song and many others by the proclaimers. It's a shame that they're only really known for 'I wanna be' (500 miles), it's the only song of theirs I've heard and not liked
Bobs gone he stole his car!
Dynamic banter
Brilliant xx
This is where my Wes Anderson music people are.
I love love love proclaimers I’m an 11 year old boy and love music
Future Man
ooooooohooooooooohooooooooohoooooooooh
Reminds me of when i went france with my school in 2009... on our way to paris and disney land
I'm not that hungry for Stouffer's ads... so there's that.
Bottlerocket. He
whole album is brilliant. cheers poster. is the whole album up on youtube? it'd save me the hassle of rooting out the record
I AM A PASSENGER
awesome
Proclaimers look like Idubbz twins
I love this song.
Groundskeeper willie
Tell Anthony I love him.
Richard Corso “Do what??”
Don't play this song after sleeping with a woman; she'll leave you (even if you aren't losing ur virginity).
Bob stole his car!
Mac DeMarco brought me here
Grace: You've never worked a day in your life. How can you be exhausted?
'they'll never catch me... cause I'm fucking innocent'
2nd best wes anderson film. Rushmore's the 1st
I agree 100% My date & I saw Bottle Rocket when it premiered in Dallas. People were walking out early shaking their heads & we were cracking up. Later I read that Scorsese said it was his favorite film of the year.
Ok wow! I KNEW this sounded familiar but couldn't place. Wes Anderson never seems like a deep cuts guy, being so twee, but his soundtracks always blow me away.
Slanderous claims ......
A song about someone who voted "No" to Scottish Independence and how they felt about it.
I have a feeling i know what this is about did they say the backstory
Now I understand why David Tennant is his number 1 fan!
Anything David likes is good in my book.
@smillsy71 you sure cus he likes coldplay even the new stuff that is suspect to me Haha :)
@Joe Ocallaghan Hmm.
Bottle Rocket 🚀
This is story about a Jew who was harassed at work and the bosses did nothing.
No justice, no peace.
uktermurkty
Love the song my hubby comes from Edinburgh his ascent is not so broard as the proclaimers wen they coming to skegness again
over & dune way
Vic Conners fuck you
- walks into corner and shoves song up his bum-
This is the song about when I lost my vaginaty
eeeeeeer........unless you're a girl, I think you mean your virginity dude lol!
_* Drags this song back to his filthy hoard for later feeding *_
Yasssss
Andy man!
andy boy
500 miles was played at my wedding 12 years ago. This played as I got in my car for the last time after divorce court. it's over and done with. ...a small sample of the soundtrack which is my life...
willis475 best comment I've ever read 😂
willis475 A wedding without 500 Miles isn't a wedding in Scotland.
Exactly mate :) go your own way now!!!!!!! She is over and done with....
lol, 14 years ago in 2004, if you can do the arithmetic, same-sex marriage was not a legal vehicle everywhere.
...and then came 'Trailer for sale or rent'!
This is not licensed for uk ,is it ?
Is this the storey about losing their virginity ?
I jus washed ma hands and went for ma dinnuuuh
it is good
Scots wa hay
loved these guys since I was little! can't get enough
since i was wee ;)
he flew the coop while we were sleeping
I just love that song.
better than the film version!!!!!!!!
The melody sounds like The Passenger, that is why I like it!
+Stephen Lindsay Satterfield i thought the same exact thing! first time im listening to this song though so i dont know its probably fair use right?
I assume you are correct. If I were a songwriter, I would write more commercial versions of songs my heroes wrote.
Stephen Lindsay Satterfield link to the song ???
@Teddy Cush surely you dont need a link to the passenger by iggy pop
Rocky - "Tell Anthony I love him".
Lewis Joseph Cranston “all right, man. Okay.” 😏
"Tengo una situation mi familia !!!"
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
they remind me of hank green...
MAC DEMARCO
i came here coz mac and andy
Pcinderellie, thank u!!!
My guy Andy
WAIT MAC DEMARCO DID A COVER OF THIS?
@maia clara it was unreal
Long live Bottle Rocket
After listening to this a few times, I've come to realize this song is flawless. I'm not even a Proclaimers fan.
yes you are.
Ha, I was the same. Now just ordered 2 CDs, including the 1 pictured.
I lovely this song
Who else will be playing this after the vote?
Did you get what you wanted?
@Iain Morrison Yup. You?
@Laura M Aye. feel we may be the only ones on this page.
@Laura M baby i"d never succeed from your union girl, ;) you swing girl
Nah. Inequality not exactly what I wanted.
Along with deacon blue and Gerry Rafferty the greatest Scottish musicians Scotland's has produced. As David tenant said so uncool which makes them so brilliant. Sounds as good today as before.
Wes Anderson brought me here!
Yes! Bottlerocket brought me here too.
Wes always bring me to good music, quality in every detail (:
&me too
Bobs gone he stole his car!
You're an idiot. Play a record.
Let it wash!!!!
* Dignan walks slyly while eating an apple and looking for a car to steal *
Anthony: “Dignan, you know what’s gonna happen if you go back there.”
Dignan: “No, I don’t. They’ll never catch me, man…‘coz I’m ****ing innocent!“
"It's over and fucking done with, corn boy!" -Jahova
Reminds me of Rab Smith my mate who died in Dundee
James Rossiter 💯
People slagged these guys, this is scottish music to core, gets better loud and in company! Yaaaaas
It just does not get better than this. Absolutely the best Proclaimers song.
This is music!
+1 for Bottle Rocket. "Bob, you're the zero out here in the car."
I discovered yesterday that I Shazam'ed this on 18.12.14 no idea where (think it was in some film.), its been stuck in my head all today. Quality song.
Proof of time travel?
Maybe it was from the film Bottle Rocket by Wes Anderson? Because this is in that film
Sunshine on Leith
Sunshine on Leith?
@edjones1011 yeh it was Bottle Rocket, I'm gonna try and watch all the other films people have suggested though. love films with good music!
Thanks for sharing this. My original cassette was "Over and Done With" sometime in the early 90's from overplay.
Such a class song!!
