1. _ Forever Yesterday
Talk about a loser, i was just about to go
When someone grabbed me by the arm, a man i did not know
He said he'd been a drover, a member of the clan
With runrig in his very soul and nowhere left to stand
Now me i'm just a highland boy and cottar was my trade
He'd seen me at kildoanan when the black-face came to stay
He'd oatcakes and he'd whisky and one foot in the grave
For us it's over
Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years
From the straths and the braes
Forever yesterday
The royal george it was that brought the countess to our door
She wanted us to leave the hills for crofts upon the moor
She took our piece of paradise and left us on the shore
For us it's over
Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years
From the straths and the braes
Forever yesterday
They cleared the clans from strathnavar, the heart of sutherland
They cleared us from our highland homes by ship to foreign glens
There's linton and there's cheviot and red deer on the bens
For us it's over, over, over, my friend

2. _ Knoydart
On the road to nowhere, heading for mallaig
I can feel the wild west highland breeze
Drive all my fears away
Through the raging sound of sleat
Safe on spanish john
I can't wait for heaven's gate
It's paradise i'm looking on
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Eagle high on ladhar bheinn
Heaven and hell beneath
Kinloch hourn's where hell is born
And nevis where the angels meet
Knoydart mends a broken heart
Heals a tortured soul
Brings new life to tired minds
And brightens eyes that look upon
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Inverie, oh inverie, ancient hearts of old
Ugly bastards one and all
We'll gather just to look upon
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling
Hear the silence calling
Feel the silence calling
All around
All around

3. _ Cold War
Born in a cold war
Opened up my eyes
See the bombers riding
Dark against the sky
Fly like an eagle
Carried on the wind
See our hearts are broken
So many lives are gone
Waiting for this dream to end
We're not alone
We'll live on forever
They echo the songs
Of the partisans
Don't be afraid
We're heading for glory
The fears of the past
Bring tears of today
Nothing's going to change
Cold is the winter
Chills you to the bone
Praying for the silence
Will the morning come?
Out on the border
Lost without a friend
Searching for a reason
The battle rages on
Waiting for this dream to end
We're not alone
We'll live on forever
They echo the songs
Of the partisans
Don't be afraid
We're heading for glory
The fears of the past
Bring tears of today
Nothing's going to change

4. _ Spud-u-like
Super mean machine
Taking over all the kids you've ever seen
Locked into the screen
Jabbing at the buttons like they're in a dream
Don't want a mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of records that'll make me scream
Give me the radio playing all the songs i know
Don't want no gameboy just a rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul
Virtual reality taking over grown ups like you've never seen
Locked into the screen
Simulated mass-destruction oh so clean
Don't want a mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of records that'll make me scream
Give me the radio playing all the songs i know
Don't want no gameboy just a rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul
Kids grow up to be
Simulation junkies when the game's for real
Don't want no c.t.v. when they're pushing all the buttons
And the game's for free
Don't give me a mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of music that'll make me scream
No mean machine in my dreams
I need you, radio
I want you, radio
I need you, radio
I want you for the things you do
No more gameboy just want rock and roll
No more top gun just want rock and roll
No more smart bombs just want rock and roll
No more gameboy just want rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want smart bombs just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll

5. _ Who Do We Think We Are
All around we're caught in the light of a thousand suns
Riding the wind of eternal years
Watching the earth die before our eyes
Hearing the world crying in our ears
We kill the trees, now there isn't any rainfall
And there's burning sand where the cornfields were before
We poison seas, pouring oil on troubled waters
And the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more
We kill the land 'till there isn't any food to eat
And we fire our guns and we're fighting all our wars
See the children die like a movie on the silver screen
Now the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more
Too bad, look at your life
We are sinking in the water
Turn back, look at the time
Cast adrift on the open sea
Once more into the night
Nothing left for your sons and your daughters
We're on our ship called earth for all eternity
Too bad, look at your life
We are sinking in the water
Turn back, look at the time
Cast adrift on the open sea
Once more into the night
Nothing left for your sons and your daughters
We're on our ship called earth for all eternity
All around we're travelling the universe
Do we believe there's someone watching over us
Can we be sure?
Who do we think we are?
(we are the chosen people
We are the chosen ones)
All around we're travelling the universe
Do we believe there's someone watching over us
Can we be sure?
Who do we think we are?

6. _ Copii Romania
Gone you sons of darkness
Gone you tyrants of old
From the land where we hear lautari playing
Here in the outfield of europe
A cry for freedom was heard
Rang out to the world
And we all stood watching
Hold the light
Keep it burning so bright
For the children
Copii romania
Must they live so long in the shadows
Copii romania
Will we turn and say
Like many times before
We did not know?
Once there was a proud people
Filled with laughter and song
Could they feel something wrong
Through the air was blowing?
Here by the mighty karpatii
The fight for freedom began
The fight for life still goes on
But no-one listens any more
Hold the light
Keep it burning so bright
For the children
Copii romania
Must they live so long in the shadows
Copii romania
Will we turn and say
Like many times before
We did not know?

7. _ The Great Unknown
All lovers in the night
Look up and see the dawn
Reach out into the light
Before you travel on
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely days will disappear
All lovers of the world
We thought we had it all
Reach out and touch someone
Across the great unknown
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely nights will disappear
Promises are soon forgotten
Watch them falling one by one
Nothing stays the same forever
See the years go on and on they fly
We'll wait for the day
Changing our ways
All over the world
Reach out for someone
All over the world
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely nights will disappear
All of my life
Lovers of the world...

8. _ Once More
With these arms i'll hold you
Let my love enfold you
Please don't cry
Night and day forever
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine
Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
Our hearts know the truth
In pools of blue i found you
Let my love surround you
Gave you life
From that day forever
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine
Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
Our hearts know the truth
Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
They'll never kill the mockingbird
She'll fly free

9. _ Back To Earth
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much i loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart
Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when i fall
So many words that were left unsaid
So many things still to share
Amd through all the tears and all of the memories
I hope that you know how much i cared
Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when i fall
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much i loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

10. _ A Matter Of Time
It's a matter of time before we know
If you follow the signs, let your feelings show
Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose
We can talk for a while and that's all right
I can see in your eyes what you feel inside
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave me standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time before we say
We got out of line looking for the way
Oh babe, you've got something to hide
You can stay for a while and that's all right
I see in your smile what you feel tonight
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave us standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Are you really looking for someone
Who'll turn you on
And always be around you?
Take another look and you will see
That i will be waiting
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Oh babe, it's just a matter of time

11. _ Ballad Of Denshaw Mill
On a cold starry night in the winter time
Stood three old men by a mill pond in the moonlight
And they spoke of their young men in the front line
How they all wished them home for the christmas time
As they spoke from the east came a bright light
And it sparkled like pure gold in their sad eyes
And an angel came down on denshaw mill
Spreading her light all around on the darkside
Are you blind can you not see
Do you think that it's me who deceives?
He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home
A hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth
Was this old mill in its day, spoke the angel
Yet there's many a poor boy in foreign climes
Who would think this old mill now a palace fine
As she spoke from the mill there came laughter
Came the warm sounds of their young men like a summer breeze
And they rose in the night like fire bright
Spreading their light all around on the darkside
Are you blind can you not see
Do you think that it's me who deceives?
He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home
No-one knows what became of the bonny lads
Posted missing, lost in action in a far land
Fools and heroes, gallant men, now side by side
With the old men who believed they came home that night
To the warmth of their homes at christmas time
To the peace of their homes at christmas time

12. _ Silver Wings
Did we take away the daylight from our life?
Dreams are over, faded with the night
We've been here so long, didn't we see the way
Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain
After all these years
Can't believe it's true
Is it really over
After all that we've been through?
I need you here
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
Did you see the way
We broke the things we made
Gone forever, never be the same
Torn away on "silver wings"
Love like lightning ended in the rain
After all this time
You're still the only one
Can't be over, all we've said and done
I need you back
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
I need you back
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
