LEAVE THEM ALONE
They live a life of peace
No harm to you and me
The greed of man destroys
The life thats
gifted to our world
Ashamed by our ways
The slaughter in the bays
No sense in how we act
Man the stone-age artefact
Leave them alone
There is a need to feed
this love of human greed
The guardians of the seas
Wish no harm to you and me
Leave them alone

WE AS ONE
I want to be
A better man
Do the best that I can
For the ones I love
And share this life
Be together
Going to spend my time
Close to you
You close to me
We as one
Forever be
Close to you
You close to me
We as one
Forever be
Life from the past
Is all around
Guiding you
From stormy ground
Fear has died
Inside my heart
Closer now
We're not apart
Close to you
You close to me
We as one
Forever be
Close to you
You close to me
We as one
Forever be

THE WORLD STOOD UP
Time for reflection
Peace
Gather
Belief
Remember
Young and the old
Quite and hungry
Out in the cold
The world stood up
The walls came down
Sound of joy all around
The tables turned
And ears they burned
Took a chance with our hands
With our hands
The sharers and the givers
Out on the streets
Angels around us
Work when you sleep
The tired and caring
The brave and the bold
The smilers and lovers
That light up our world

CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
I was playing on the Isle of Hoy
Sang until I lost my voice
While the wind blew crazy
Then I got lost at sea
Ended up on Tiree
On a Calmac ferry
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Keeps blowing me back again
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Oh no no no
Ended up in Lamlash
Got a wee bit of cash
From the pierhead tavern
Went to see John Martyn sing
But couldn’t hear a bloody thing
Cause the wind kept howling
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Keeps blowing me back again
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Oh no no no
Ended up in Portree
Went to Dunvegan to see
The Peatbog Faeries
Ended up in Edinbane
Farquhars playing fiddle again
It was amazing
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Keeps blowing me back again
I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND
Oh no no no

WELCOME MY SONS
Welcome my son welcome to this world
Welcome my son welcome to this world
Nights are long as the days go rolling in
It won’t be long till that river is rising again
Your mothers eyes and my fathers smile is what I see
It won’t be log till you’re rocking and rolling with me
Welcome my son welcome to this world
Welcome my son welcome to this world
I’ve been dreaming about you for so long
You and me we’re going to be fine
I can’t believe its happened to me rightness
But thats right thats right i’m you’re daddy I’m you’re old boy

THIS IS THE LIFE
Put your boots we’re going out
Up the mountain to the very top
We’re going to climb
Put your boots we’re going out
We’re going to see the horses
We’re going to take them out for a ride
Life
Oh thats life
Life
This is the life
Put your coats on we’re going out
To a party
We’re going to let it all hang out tonight
Life
Oh thats life
Life
This is the life
Life life life This is the life

FOR THE MEMORIES OF

for the memories of
I went out to see my dad
I dopnt think hell could be so bad
cause he was lying in a ward
all alone with the curtains drawn
then i saw in his eyes
he had been to the other side
for they had taken out the voice
from a man with no chaoice
going to sing it high
going to sing it low
going to sing everywhere i go
for the memories of
the greatest dad a boy could ever have
eighteen years from this day
i went with my mum to hear them say
another year you have to go
i’m sorry that you had to know
going to sing it high
going to sing it low
going to sing everywhere i go
for the memories of
mum dad and for all the love i had
let the wind blow high
let the wind blow low
from my heart you will never go

High on you
I'm low
On cash
On beer
On stash
On time
Cheap wine
On sun
shine
But baby
I'm high on you
I've got
cheap
shoes
Bad
News
A
Rears
Way up to my
Ears
But baby
I'm high on you
Everywhere I seem to go
I see your face
Everywhere I seem to go
i feel so out of place
Without you
I'm down on luck
no fuel
i'm stuck
on lives be breaks
i'm no great shakes
but baby
i'm high on you
