about

Best Left Alone. The early 1960s weren’t the best times for Aberdonian health. In 1960 the remains of many foot and mouth cattle were bulldozed into pits in the area now occupied by the Springhill football pitches. Then, in 1964, the city was hit by the typhoid outbreak.

lyrics

BEST LEFT ALONE
There are some things are best left undisturbed
Like the foot and mouth cows buried at Springhill
Or the sudden urge which should be quickly curbed
To confess your sins when there’s time to kill

So let’s not look too close let’s never poke with a sharpened stick
Leave the urge to dig and dig and let the poor cows rest in Mastrick

There are some things are best just left alone
Like the rustling sounds deep in the woods
Or the broken tin of Argentinian beef
It’s best just to ignore the damaged goods

So let’s not look too close let’s never touch the thing that glows
Buy some fish from the Golden Fry and leave the beef unsliced in William Low’s
