Hopefully this is the right forum for this: does anyone have a copy of James Kelman's 'not not while the giro' on hand?
* 've been trying for months to remember the poem - or fragment of a poem - printed somewhere in the front pages. * can remember a few words, and those not in order: 'say not analysin nothin' and then later (* think) 'is if not not'.
Anyone help out? * cannot find my answer on line.

I looked at the wa's o' Glasgow Cathedral, where vandals and angels painted their names,
I was clutching at straws and wrote your initials, while parish officials were safe in their hames.

It reminds me of Yes and no (Paula) by Ian Dury: quote:
And if not why not
If
And if not why why
Why not
And if not why not

I tried the first link and got a message, in French, that said I had used the service too many times.
