about

A call for more Scottish autonomy, however, there’s so little trust and belief in today’s politics I fear people are losing faith in the idea that meaningful change is possible. If it is to happen it can only occur through the ballot box. Scotland has a proud history of rebel songs and I’m rebelling against the self-serving greed and cold-blooded corruption of Westminster.

lyrics

Warm blows the south wind
It feels good on your skin but it carries a message so cold
It whispers of terror, it whispers of error
It tells you to stay with the past and the present and fear the unknown

The kirk and the kaleyard
Dogma and romantic notions of nation pull at your heart
Highlands and lowlands, my clan and your clan
Lines drawn on paper and drawn in the sand to keep us apart

They gather against us
Those with their own vested interests to keep us in chains
So rise like a rogue wave
Be free of the old feudal ways and be brave, be brave

So come to the hustings
Come to the gatherings
Come to the polling stations in droves and make yourself known
Cold is the north wind
Strong is the north wind
Sowing the seeds of autonomy wherever their blown
