The Wind Has Changed
04:55

When the Mothers and Fathers and Children arrive
At the knowledge that power is there's to decide
Then the ruling class with there jewels to hide
Will have to bow to the will of the people
When the Generals find their soldiers wise
To the deception of doom that they prophesis
Then they will come to realise they don't pay the piper
They just use him
Chorus
And I know, yes I know, yes I know, I know
The wind has changed
You Kings and Queens you inheritors of wealth
Who's ancestors took our land by stealth
Charging people to care for the health
Of the land, you claim is your birthright
But the Mothers and the Fathers and the Children now know
That if they are to reap the crops that they sow
Then the rivers of change must be allowed to flow
And your days are not now, they are numbered
Chorus
When you realise the weak are strong
And all you believe to be right may be wrong
And you no longer have a need to hold on
Then I know, you are ready for reason
Your ivory towers will turn to glass
And the fire you breathe will turn your mansions to ash
And all that you dread will come to pass
Fear not, you are worth more than all that
Chorus
So tell people to tell people to tell all of their friends
That this state of madness must come to an end
Let us not allow violence to descend
I prey this revolution will be peaceful
Let the soldiers, the preachers, the law fall in line
When the seekers of truth, give us the sign
Let the political class and their sponsors resign
To the fact, that a new age is dawning
Chorus x 2

Scotland, I come here with a message
From my good friend Ian Russell
A message of hope over fear, left over right
Of determination, for self determination
Ian is on a journey and nothing's gonna stop him
Not even Facebook
Chorus
What do we want, Independence
And when do we want it, Now
What do we want, Independence
And when do we want it, Now
Ian was watching TV and Ian was telling me
That people on TV say Scotland's too weak to be free
Scotland, what is it about Scotland
8% of the population, 70% of farmland
8% of the population 50% of fish stocks
8% of the population 90% fresh water
8% of the population, most of the tourism
Did I mention Whisky (no)
Did I mention oil (no)
Did I mention renewable energy (no)
Chorus
Politicians, what is it about politicians
He says up, she says down, he says left, she says right
He says black, she says white, he says free Scotland
Then they all agree, that you can't set Scotland free
Easily, well wait and see.

Millennium Jacobite

Brothers, Sisters,
together we stand
And if you ever weary,
I will be there to lend a hand
Chorus
you can call me, day or night
I will never lose my fight
All I want, all I want is what is right
They call me a Millennium Jacobite
Forward we keep pushing,
we won't have to long to wait
and I know, I know our time is near,
and we're pushing, pushing at the gate
Chorus
You can threaten me, you can beat me
You can take everything I own
But you can't take my desire
For my country to stand alone
Chorus

The Vow (upbeat version)

Go tell you friends, it's time to take
Our Country back
We have the will, we have the need
And there will be no turning back
Chorus
Scotland I vow, to set you free
This is our land, this is our right
This is our destiny
Go tell your friends, it's time for change
And we have no remorse
300 years of foreign rule
Has finally run its course
Chorus
Go tell your friends, their Country
Is calling out for them
It's not to late to have a change of heart
For what is right in the end
Chorus
Chorus

Woke up this morning and read that I was dead
Didn't see that coming when I headed off to bed
Last night I felt alright, but I woke up to see
Right there in the newspaper was my obituary
Media is telling me, we're headed for a plague
the signs are overwhelming but they went over my head
Time to start preparing, there's panic on the streets
Newspapers say it's days, if not weeks
I don't know if you've noticed, evil's everywhere
We seem to be the only one's who really care
The troops are getting ready for the war we need to win
And the media will tell us when the bad guys come in
Dark clouds descending, fear is in the air
We have to keep focus, the enemy is near
We thought he was the answer, I clearly took the bait
Thank God we have the media, to put the record straight
Television, newspapers, got me all confused
Telling me the good are bad, the prophet stands accused
There's so much going on right now, can't afford to blink
Thank God we have the media to tell us what t think

Aye Till I Die

Chorus
Till the stars fall out the sky
There is no if and there is no why
You can't change me, don't even try
I am aye, till the day I die
You told stories, you broke the rules
Spread your lies through the mouths of fools
For truth and justice, you pledge to stand
But i see blood dripping from your hands
Chorus
You built you empire, on a, bed of sand
Watch it crumble as we take command
Your class system has been swept away
Super Rupert will have to earn his pay
Chorus

Sauchiehall Street, historic night
Meet the boys, feel alright
Pat's got a new shirt, you've got to see
Champagne Central, count me out
Freedom Square with a carry out
Join the celebrations, that'll do for me
Chorus
Its all kicks off, its all kicks off,
Its all kicks off, it's Independence Day
Look at auld Ian, what can I say
That grin hasn't left his face all day
Won't be too long before he's dancing in the square
With wee Julie, she's aff her heid,
she's no stopped dancing, since we've been freed
Making shapes you've never seen before
Chorus
Thanks for coming, a loaded voice
Don't think we don't have a choice
Music's stopped, we're moving on right
Pete Scally's for a drink, why not
Hope she's coming, think she's hot
Welcome to Scotland's Independence Day
Chorus
