Songs from "Northern Britain"

Scotland (ancestral home of at least some of my people) is voting on whether to break away from the United Kingdom on Thursday. Here's a map showing all the countries that have declared independence from the British:


In honor of this momentous referendum, I offer a cascade of Scottish bands:

  1. Thanks for the links. Hope you enjoyed the songs. The T.C.Sinatras was a revelation to me.

    "Can't see the forest or the trees
    Inhaled the fumes and swallowed the keys
    You look just like our favourite star
    You've read the script and now you know the score
    I just want to show you the way
    Want to stop you feeling this way
    You're out of sight and out of mind
    I cannot tell you how you should drive
    But I've seen them rehearsing, reversing the hearse in
    I know you must try
    To overtake the undertaker
    By putting your foot down and closing your eyes
    I just want to show you the way
    Want to stop you feeling this way
    What are you doing, feeling a waste of time
    Don't have too much but where there's a will
    There's a widow as well don't leave her your bills
    Don't let my bloodrush in vain
    I just want to show you the way
    Want to stop you feeling this way
    I just got to show you the way
    Want to stop you feeling a waste of time"
