3.12.1. Stepping Down the Glory Road

Footprints around the world
Your beauty in the blue
Stepping down the Glory Road
Let's go dancing for survival
To the lyric of your youth
Stepping down the Glory Road
The way you sing will shine out
Illuminate the way you grow
Stepping down the Glory Road
Capture your heart it's breaking
To celebrate your giving
Gracenotes on every heartstring
The beauty in the pure
Stepping down the Glory Road
So resurrect the bards
Liberate the word inspired
Stepping down the Glory Road
You know that joy like great art
Should take you to the skies
Stepping down the Glory Road
The dark side of the soul
You've never known you never will
Eisd ri eubh do mhian
Stepping down the glory road
Eisd ri eubh do mhian
Stepping down the glory road
Eisd ri eubh do mhian
Stepping down the glory road

3.12.2. Alba Scotland
Air sgiath a' seoladh nan neoil
'S an domhain liath
Mar dhealbh a' tighinn beo tro na sgothan
'S mi a' tilleadh gu tir
Alba nam beanntan ard
Nan acraichean lom
Thairis air na lochan mointich
Nan coilltean 's nan gleann
Alba
Alba
Ach 'se sealladh leointe is gann
Tha an seo aig ceann thall an linn
Talamh alainn nan daoine
Fhathast an lamhan duine no dithis
Cuibhlean stolda mu dheas
Na fasaichean a tuath
An taigh-mor falamh an Dun-Eideann
Gun chumhachd gun ghuth
Alba
Alba
Sibhse chuir achadh ri achadh
Taigh ri taigh
Gus nach bi ait anns an tir
An gabh sibh comhnaidh air leth
Ach 's math dhomh bhith seo an drasd
A cur failt air a' bhlas
'San tir a tha cho ur dhomh an diugh
Is a bha i nuair bha mi 'nam phaisd
Alba
Alba
This flight is sailing through the clouds
And the blue heavens
The homeland appears like a developing
photograph
Through the mists as I return to land
I see Scotland of the high mountains
And the empty acres
Flying low across the moorland lochs
The forests and the glens
Scotland
Scotland
But it's a wounding and a hollow sight
Here as we reach the end of the century
The beautiful soil of the people
Still in the hands of the few
I see the wheels of industry at a standstill
And the northern lands wasted
And the empty house in Edinburgh
Without authority or voice
Scotland
Scotland
You that have laid field upon field
House upon house
Till there be nowhere for you to be placed alone
In the midst of all the earth
But it is good for me to be here now
As I welcome the warmth
In this land that's as exciting for me today
As it was the day I was born
Scotland
Scotland

3.12.3. The Greatest Flame

Like shadows on the wall
You come and you go
Through the streets
And the rain that falls down
On our sin
No more goodbyes
Forever this way
Whenever the greatest flame in the world
Starts burning
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
Always in your eyes
A waking of souls
We gaze out on the road
That brought us up
To this place
The signposts never change
We'll go where they lead
Whenever the day to break us comes
We'll not give in
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
This is our place, in our lives
And no one can ever change this moment
Or pull this mountain to the ground
Live the day when the flame is strong
Live the day when the flame is strong
Come the day when love is gone
Take it over, Take it over
Live the day when the flame is strong
Live the day when the flame is strong
Come the day when love is gone
Take it over
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
This is our place, in our lives
And no one can ever change this moment
Or pull this mountain to the ground

3.12.4. Rocket to the Moon

Here hangs an open landscape
A wild and huge frontier
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
Through the grave to the promised field
You came, you trapped, you charted
You laid the railraods and the schemes
And you tamed this land by enterprise
And by the power of your dreams
But you made this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose
With your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon
From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves
(Chorus)
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die
Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
(Chorus)

3.12.5. Abhainn An T-Sluaigh The Crowded River
Chan eil an t-adhar os cionn Lunnainn
A-nochd soileir no dorch
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Gun sgial air coinneal mor latha
No reultan na h-oidhche
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
An sea s'am baile gun chadal
Gun fhois is gun saorsa
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Casan a' gluasad
An abhainn an tuil
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Na cuibhlichean, 's cabhaig
A’ tionndaidh gun sgur
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Cus ag adhradh beairtas
Air altair an tshaoghail
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Cach gun dochas gun dachaidh
Air sraidean gun ghaol
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Leis gach dath s'gach creideamh
Gach cainnt as gach cearn
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Gach ceist is gach freagairt
sios an abhainn gu cuan
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh ( x6 )
The skies above London
Are neither clear nor dark
The need to be far from the crowded river
Neither the great candle of daylight
Nor the stars of the night can be seen
The need to be far from the crowded river
In this city that never sleeps
there is stillness, no quiet
The need to be far from the crowded river
Footsteps keep moving
The river in full flood
The need to be far from the crowded river
The relentless wheels
Keep turning without pause
The need to be far from the crowded river
Many worshipping wealth
At the world's altar
The need to be far from the crowded river
Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river
Races creeds and tongues
From all corners of the globe
The need to be far from the crowded river
All questions and answer
Rushing down the river to the ocean
The need to be far from the crowded river ( x6 )

3.12.6. Protect and Survive

The red hot sun burns up the hill
The winter's bride, the summer's king
I tramp these acres and I feel
Once upon a time
Then it seemed that everything
You saw and touched and felt was real
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel
Breathing free
Once in a lifetime
You live and love
Once in a lifetime
You die
Once in a moment
The sun goes down
Protect and survive
Now you search the open evening sky’s
Trace the memory in your eyes
For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge
Lie in tears around your door
Once there were trees and livestock here
A mother's love, the warnings clear
But you chose to turn away from fear
Breathing free
(Chorus)
Protect and survive
Protect and survive
Now there's a faceless cross on a distant hill
A wasted voice, a silent scream
Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream
You stand and dream alone
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war
Traded your children's lives for a mess of gold
And you beat your ploughshares into swords
Breathing free
(Chorus)

3.12.7. Rhythm of my Heart

3.12.8. Hearthammer

With the eyes of a child the wonder of it all
I used to search the stars at night and I felt so safe and small
Sweet sounds from a Merseytown and my nursery God
I wanted to ride with Yuri Gagarin as he circled all around my world
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
Lying under the covers. Radio on
Settle down with Caroline as she sailed all summer long
Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Mining Hearts of Gold
I think it was somewhere post Rubber Soul
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
There was the first caress
There were the Labour years
There was the man that walked the moon something I never really believed
The Di Stefano twists the Charlton goals
Now I'm still here with the eyes of a child the wonder never grows old
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
Hearthammer and I lose control
Hearthammer
The wonder never grows old

3.12.9. An Ubhal As Airde The Highest Apple
Comhla rium
A tha thu an drasd
Mo shuilean duinte, mo chuimhne dan
Nam sheasamh a' coimhead
Gach cnoc is gach traigh
Is an siol a dh'fhag thu ann a 'fas
Tha an garradh lan
Le craobhan treun
Le meas a' fas dhuinn ann ri bhuain
Ubhlan abaich
Milis geur
Ach tha aon ubhal nach ruig sinn idir air
Seididh gaoth is dearrsaidh grian
Tro mheas nan craobhan lin gu lin
Ach thig an la is thig an t-am
Airson an ubhal as airde
Air a' chraobh a bhuain
Is co 'nar measg
A mhaireas la
Seachad air am is air oidhche fhein
A liuthad uair
A shreap mi suas
Airson an ubhal as airde chur gu beul
Seididh gaoth is dearrsaidh grian
Tro mheas nan craobhan lin gu lin
Ach thig an la is thig an t-am
Airson an ubhal as airde
Air a' chraobh a bhuain
At present
All you were is with me
My eyes closed, my memory confident
Standing here watching
Each hill and shoreline
With the seed you left
Still growing
The garden is well stocked
With mighty trees
With fruit growing for the whole world
Ripe, sweet
And bitter apples
And the one apple
That is beyond reach
The winds will blow
And the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and the hour
Will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree
Who amongst us
Can exist a single day
Beyond our own time and our own limits
Countless and futile
Are times I've climbed
To reach and taste
The forbidden fruit
The winds will blow
And the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and the hour
Will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree

3.12.10. Wonderful

When all the world is quiet and still
And doubts run deep as the ocean
Through troubled years and broken dreams
To the place where all silence has spoken
So wonderful, too wonderful
Immeasurable, invisible
The moment golden before me
I will walk with you through the beautiful gate
My hands and heart wide open
So wonderful, too wonderful

3.12.11. The Mighty Atlantic/Mara Theme

The roll of the wind
As we sail across the water
The roll of the sea
As we're taken through the night
The dimming lamp of day
Leaves the crimson foam and spray
Across the face of the mighty Atlantic
In this cradle we found love
In our lifetimes we were broken
By the spirit we were turned
Here we touched the hope divine
And in the rapture and the charm
Came the tranquil and the calm
On the rage of the mighty Atlantic
Deepest grave, supreme deceiver
Brave new worlds and cursed emotion
Let your people go, bring me a saviour
White doves rise above the ocean
The brightness of the lights
As they stretch across the water
The excitement of the night
As we're carried through the seas
There's a welcome lies in store
The strongest arms I've ever known
In the homes of the mighty Atlantic
For the roll it is gentle
As the waves, they guide you over
Full new moon across the stern flag
Our different worlds in constant motion
The roll of the wind
As we sail across the waters
The roll of the sea
As we're taken through the night
I'm coming home it's late
And you know I just can't wait
For the shores of the mighty Atlantic
For the shores of the mighty Atlantic
For the shores of the mighty Atlantic

3.12.12. Flower of the West

Sunburst
The morning moar
The light of God
The heart of youth
I look around me
My eyes find their rest on this garden
The flower of the west
The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark
All I see. All I know
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Sunrise
The colour frontier
The ageing light
The sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
To Aloter
And the road to Ahmore
The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark
All I see. All I know
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
I survive the childhood universe
And I step the naked heath
Where the breathing of the vanished
Lies in acres round my feet
Past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
And the flatlands to the east
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
Meets the rising Rock of Lee
Between the Crogary and Maairi
I started to descend
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
I look across to Clett
Collies barking on the outrun
Dunlin dancing on the sand
Breakers show round Corran Vallique
And empty the Atlantic on the strand
The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark
All I see. All I know
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
Flower of the west

3.12.13. Every River

You ask me to believe in magic
Expect me to commit suicide of the heart
And you ask me to play this game without question
Raising the stakes on this shotgun roulette
Every river I try to cross
Every hill I try to climb
Every ocean I try to swim
Every road I try to find
All the ways of my life
I'd rather be with you
There's no way
Without you
But you came to me like the ways of children
Simple as breathing, easy as air
Now the years hold no fears, like the wind they pass over
Loved, forgiven, washed, saved
Every river I try to cross
Every hill I try to climb
Every ocean I try to swim
Every road I try to find
All the ways of my life
I'd rather be with you
There's no way
Without you

Eighteen teams of horses
On the field of Aird a Mhorrain
the young men were ploughing
On the day the Sleat people came
The geneology of Goraidh
The sons of Ruairi
The sons of Ranald
The children of Donald
The children of my own family
Generation to generation
From one name to another
My time is now
To walk this corner of Uist
Black was the colour of the blood
That flowed like a flood to the land
The arrow, the long sword
Through the generosity of the Udal people
The geneology of Goraidh
The sons of Ruairi
The sons of Ranald
The children of Donald
The children of my own family

3.12.15. Hearts of Olden Glory

There's thunder clouds
Round the hometown bay
As I walk out
In the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Of life
And though the water's
Black as night
The colours of Scotland
Leave you young inside
There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young
There's a vision
Coming soon
Through the faith
That cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory
Will be renewed
Down the glens
Where the headlands stand
I feel a healing
Through this land
A cross for a people
Like wind through your hands
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

3.12.16. Skye (Live)

How can't you see
The wilderness growing free
Time wounded and scarred
Stroking away the years
It's hard to believe
But memories are old ghosts
Mountains of black and gold
Sunsets falling over the moor
Oh take me there
's na horo eile , horo bho
's na horo bho , hillean o
's na horo eille ho , Take me there !
You take your dream
You make life what you feel
Appearances lead to deceive
This drama so far from me
Destiny
On fates aching wings
Wild geese flow over your shores
Hearts sailing over the trees
Oh take me there !
's na horo eile , horo bho
's na horo bho , hillean o
's na horo eille ho , Take me there !
Chi mi'n t-eilean uaine
Tir nam beanntann arda
Ceo a'tuiteam tron a'ghleann
Na shineadh air do raointeann

3.12.17. Loch Lomond (Live)

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love spent many days o
On the banks of Loch Lomond
To sad we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where the broken heart it knows no second spring
Resigned we must be when we’re parting
You'll take the high road and
I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho, ho mo leannan bhoidheach
You'll take the high road and
I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
You'll take the high road and
I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

3.12.18. Saints of the Soil

Walking out on the revelation trail
Going nowhere slowly
In the face of a terminal wind
I look over my shoulder to glory
For all that around me is lost and changed
The moon and the stars and the feelings remain
As long as I draw emotion in breath
I will never forget, I'll never forget
The light of the world keeps shining
Bright in the primal glow
Bridging the living dust to dust
Such a long long way to go
Going down to the memory well
No romance, no warning
Breaking the land with the saints of your soil
In the light of all constant dawning
I'm held in the grasp of the blessed and the old
The hand that civilisation's forgotten to hold
Rushing onwards racing in chains
I'm chasing the days, chasing the days
(Chorus)
Saints of the soil, saints of the soil, saints of the soil
I see you laughing round the fires of harvest
Flame grabbing and your arms entwined
Dying tribe take a righteous glance
To the sharing days and the common wine
There's a shrine on an Assynt hillside
It's made of earth and salt and rain
Now you walk out in the morning
With your sacrifice of change
Saints of the soil
Saints of the soil
Saints of the soil
Saints of the soil
Saints of the soil
Saints of the soil

3.12.19. Ravenscraig

Word came like a hammer
Night fell down like a shroud
And it's caught me drinking, trying to turn back the clock
Through this industrial ghost town
I've known graft and I've voted well
Trying to keep the Lowlands red
But all I gets control in foreign hands
Other colours instead
We never stretched our dancehall dreams
We got it just about right
There's little escape from a working town
And from a working life
I placed my future in the palm of your hand
One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints
There's no investment here in life or in love
And now it's getting too late
All I want is a roof over my head
All I want is a steady job
All I want to do is say I love you
With every penny I've got
And all I think about are those of my name
To give them some kind of chance in life
But the long road running out the strip mill gate
Has got me walking that line

3.12.20. Chi Mi'n Geamhradh I See The Winter
Chi mi'n geamhradh 'as a' ghaoith
Chaneil an sheachd' fada bhuainn
Sgothan dorch' 's na craobhan ruisgt
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar
Shaoilean fhein gur ann an de
Bha teas an t-samhraidh 'gar leaghadh
Fad an fheasgair air an Dun
'S tu laighe leisg ri mo thaobh
'S tu laighe leisg ri mo thaobh
'S iomadh oidch' a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair
'S ionadh oidhch' a bhithinn a'smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Chan fhan a' ghrian fad na bliadhna
Cha sheas an uair mar a tha i
Dh'fhalbh thusa gu'n a'cheo
'S dh'fhag thu mi le mo geamhradh
'S iomadh oidch' a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair
'S ionadh oidhch' a bhithinn a'smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
I see the winter in the wind
The snow is not far from us
Dark clouds and the trees losing leaf
The night is cold
So often it feels that it was only yesterday
The summer heat melted us
All evening long out on the Dun
And you lying lazy by my side
Many nights we loved
Many nights we laughed
Many times I thought
That you would have stayed forever
But the sun never shines all year
Time will not stay as it once was
You left for the city
Leaving me to my winter
Many nights we loved
Many nights we laughed
Many times I thought
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever


3.12.21. The Apple Came Down

Life support genius at the end of time
The greatest living brain alive
A breath of chance matter from a falling star
The power is sour and reaches far
The apple came down
It had to fall
Where men grew wise
Minds grew small
Newton and Adam
Lost and found
The apple must fall
To the ground
There's not long left, it's a race against time
The saint's close, he could lose his mind
Like he lost his body here on planet Earth
When he holds the key to the universe
The apple came down
It had to fall
Where men grew wise
Minds grew small
Newton and Adam
Lost and found
The apple must fall
To the ground
A mighty spark to keep him there
Trigger to power, wire to pain
Direct inject pleasure when the going gets rough
Don't believe in God and all that stuff
The apple came down
It had to fall
Where men grew wise
Minds grew small
Newton and Adam
Lost and found
The apple must fall
To the ground
The apple came down
The atom must fall

3.12.22. Chi Mi’n Tir I See the Land
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
A tir nan Suaineach a rinn sinn gluasad
'S i leinn an uair tighinn tuath air Scalpaigh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Nam faighinn ordugh gur mi bhiodh deonach
A gheola "loradh" 's a seoladh dhachaidh
Chi mi'n tir san robh mi nam bhalach
Chi mi'n iasgair aig ceann nan lion
Is gu'm b'e mo mhiann bhith 'sa chiar 'gan tarruing
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Chi me Manais is Ceann an t-Saile
Caolas Bhearnaraidh is traighean Phabaidh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
An sin thuirt Eoghainn 'se tighinn 'nam chomhdhail
Nach seall thu'n Godaigh aig Sron na Hearradh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Nuair thig an Dubhlachd gun fag min "Suna"
Is e mo dhuil dhol le sunnd dom dhachaidh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
1st verse repeated.
I see the land where I was a boy
Over the mast, Lackalee is in sight.
I see the land where I was a boy.
We came from Sweden
And made good time reaching north of Scalpay,
I see the land where I was a boy.
If I were ordered, I would willingly
Lower the boat and sail home
I see the land where I was a boy.
I see the fisherman at the net
And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing.
I see the land where I was a boy.
I see Manais and Kintail
Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay
I see the land where I was a boy.
Then said Hugh as he came to meet me
"Won't you look at the 'Goddy' at the ToeHead
I see the land where I was a boy.
When December comes I'll leave "The Suna”
And I hope, with joy, to go home
I see the land where I was a boy


3.12.23. Ribhinn O O Girl
Tha bùrn fallain anns an tobar
`S gabhaidh sinn ar h-uile slainte ann
Tha bùrn fallain anns an tobar
`S gabhaidh sinn ar h-uile slainte ann
Tugainn leam a ribhinn òg
Tugainn leam a nighean, tugainn leam
Tugainn gu na beanntan àrd
Abair sealladh dathan earnaich ann
Tugainn gu na beanntan àrd
