SALMON SO BRIGHT(QUENCH MY APPETITE)
Here’s a song
For those who’ve travelled long
They’ve made the journey
From so far
They made it cross the sea
Made it back to me
I bet they wish they had a car
Chorus
They go up , down and around
They swim in circles
I want them for tea
Down , around
So come on Bradan
Take that fly for me
They came from out at sea
It’s one of life’s mysteries
How they made it from over there
They’ve come back to stay
But they went to Carloway
And now they haven’t
got a prayer
Chorus

Peaky
Want to tell you a story
‘ Bout the keyboard man
One night at a Tull gig
He was sick in the pan
Chorus
Too many drugs
Too many curries yea
Too many beers
Done in too much hurry
He don’t look well
He’s looking peaky
He don’t look fine
He’s starting to leaky
He puked in the gutter
And his face turned green
Let me tell you something
He’s the peakiest I’ve seen
Chorus
One night at a party
Well what do you think
Robin was calling out for
More strong drink
Chorus
PETER DAN THE RUBBER MAN
Safety in numbers
Said the girl to her young man
I’ll bring along a friend of mine
If you’ll bring Peter Dan
We’ll buy a bottle
Take a stroll
Together hand in hand
We’ll watch and see if Mary falls in love with Peter Dan
They came upon a cross-roads
When they had walked a mile
I do believe we’ll take our leave
Said the young girl with a smile
We’ll sit right here and talk awhile
Said Peter in reply
Mary blushed and failed to see
The twinkle in his eye
Chorus
And oh oh the sun went down
And the moon rose like silver
In the sky above the town
Look Away, Look Away
Said Peter to his lover
And he introduced his best friend
And dressed it all in rubber
Peter Dan
The Rubber Man
The lady turned around
Saw Peter on the ground
A wicked smile upon his face
And his fun gun in his hand
The lady screamed and said to him
You are a wicked man
Alas I can no longer stay
And away she briskly ran
Mary’s anguished cry
Broke the silence of the night
Her friends returned in haste to see
If Mary was all right
All they saw was Peter Dan
Sitting there alone
When questioned Peter Dan replied
I think she has gone home
Chorus
WHISKEY FROM A JAM JAR
Sitting in the brewery on a Sunday night
Folk music playing , feeling all right
Musicians playing about a blanket on the ground
Music stand is falling with an awful sound
Drinking
Whisky from a jam jar
Heavy from a glass
Folk music playing
Your looking at a happy man
Walking on the road on a January night
The rain it is falling , the sky it ain’t bright
Heading cross the meadows on a mission from God
Gonna get a carryout and drink the lot
Drinking
Whisky from a jam jar
Special from a can
Cream cheese and biscuits
Your looking at a happy man
DON’T KILL WHALES
An Instrumental devoid of lyrics
 
THE GREY TOWER LOOMS FROM THE MIST
It's dusk on a Saturday night
W'e're going in town
Gonna do what we like best
And that's spinning around
We'll head down to the Braigh
Car by car
The mist is thick and cold
You cant see far

Out of the mist
You know it stands so tall

We'\e gct our red thermals on
And the crack is high
The warm wind steals the mist
And we see the night sky
It's time to head back home
Through pools of mist
Ahead there stands a tall grey tower
We must be pissed
No we're not in Middle Earth
It's a Tawse machine
Used to make the new Braigh wall
A more permanent thing

HAIL HALL
Hail these walls of purest steel
Those roofs of stoutest wood
Majestic floorboards shine so bright
Like no other timber could
Hail the Venture room so fine
The toilets and the gutter
The splendour of the kitchen sink
Would set your heart a flutter
Chorus
Hail hail our scout hall
Finest in the land
Hail hail our scout hall
Made from bricks and sand
Hail committee oh so proud
Your raffles of distinction
Wondrous is the fire escape
To lie would just be just fiction
Hail the scouts and hail the cubs
The beavers and the Ventures
Martin is the Scout leader
And he'll remove your dentures
ODE TO A BANKER
I heard the news today oh man
I read the letter and said oh damn
It was the bank they was writing to me
Why oh why cant they see
Chorus
I'm a poor man , and what llttle I have
I need for me
l'm a skint man
Why cant I bank my money for free
Well that leter in the post
It was the thing that upset me the most
Three pounds they said for having some
And a whole lot more for having none
Chorus
Why not have a credit card
To own one isnt so very hard
Well how about a personal loan
Or a new car for you to own
Can we interest you?
READ YOUR MAP TO ME
This map I hold right here
It shows my choices very clear
Am I to make roots like a tree
Or is my soul to wonder free
Wonder free

Which road I have to take
I need my map to make
It's not all it's meant to be
So my darling read your map to me
Map to me

So darling come with me
Take my hand and we'll be free

SUNSET ON THE SEAWEED
Once again no lyrics cos its an instrumental thing.
