Oceanside
(Sprauer)
Felt the
rain in California
Counted snowflakes on the mountaintop
Now I know where I belong in this strange game
Felt the
sun in the desert
Saw the magic by the Oceanside
That's where my love lives, I'm gonna take her home
CHORUS
Now I'm gonna set my soul on fire (on fire)
Gonna drown it in the lake of evermore (lake of evermore)
Gonna close my eyes, let the magic take me higher (take me
higher….)
'Cause I don't' believe I've felt this way before
Coming
down from the mountain
Feel the earth move beneath my feet
I'll just spread my arms and wait till I can fly
Feeling
one with the creatures
Feeling love for the other side
I'll just smile and wave and then be on my way
CHORUS

The
Ballad of Miles O'Toole (Sprauer)
Once upon
a time on the outskirts of town
Lived a bonny lass name of Molly McBrown
Long about Friday she'd gather up her things
And head down to the corner put where everyone would sing
CHORUS
Hi Ho
to bonny lasses, sing a song and raise your glasses
Good times are comin' round the way
Hi Ho to bonny lads, sing a song and raise your plaid
Drinking ale until the break of day
There
once was a time that I remember well
I promised Bonny Mary I would never kiss and tell
She caught me at the pub tellin' stories to all the lads
Her kisses tasted better than the back of her hand
CHORUS
Travelin'
'round the countryside singing in a band
Dancin' and a laughin' with a pint in each hand
Cigarettes, scotch whiskey, and lassies by the score
To hell with the government, I'm gonna have some more
CHORUS

Not
Perfect (For Me)
(Laura Adams, arranged by Kerry Davis)
Couldn't stand you when we first met
And now you're everything and more
You have become my safety net
Now I am learning how to soar
Laughter or irony,
You know what I need
Lovingly your arms enfold me
CHORUS
So why do you say you're not perfect?
You can read my mind
Anticipate me every time
Change my mood on a dime when I'm hurtin'
No, you'll never make me see
That you're not perfect,
No-no, not perfect for me
I can
talk a mile a minute
But I'm tongue-tied 'round you
Why won't I struggle or resist
'cause it's my heart that'll lose
So if
a picture's worth
Is merely plain words
The song of my love must be heard
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
No-no,
not perfect for me
No-no, not perfect for me

Boots
for Maggie (Sprauer)
I can
see the moon look down shines upon the lake
The wind that bites into my skin, waiting to awake
CHORUS
Only to be stricken by the steely cold of rain
Begging to be taken to the other side of pain
I can
feel the sun go down waiting for the cold
Close my eyes and disappear, never growing old
Sitting
in the summer breeze taking in my home
Wondering if this piece of land is all I'll ever own

Listen
to your Mother (Sprauer)
Lying
in my bed at night
Thinking 'bout her endless fight
The Campbell Clan and fields of green
Robbie Burns and Aberdeen
I Love
my child I love my wife
I love these endless summer nights
America's been good to me
But it's the Motherland I long to see
CHORUS
Oh (Oh)-------Listen to your mother
She taught you 'bout the birds and bees
Damn the Queen 'til Scotland's free
Oh (Oh)-------Listen to your mother
She danced a highland fling with me
With a pint of ale and scotch whiskey
Edinburgh
and Shetland Isle
Say you will with Gaelic style
With a Claymore by my side
Hebrides and Rivers Clyde
Campbell
Graham and Clan McDuff
You know we'll be standing tough
Stuart Castle long I roam
Hello Mum, I'm coming home!
CHORUS
Tag:
Oh (Oh)------Listen to your mother
The Motherland is calling you
The Isle of Sky and Nessie too!

A
Whiskey and a Friend (Sprauer)
In a corner
of the past she was just a wee lass
And I tell ya she was tough as nails
'Twas her first time at the bar and we 'nary got far
When I lost her in a pint of ale
CHORUS
Here we are again with all of our friends
Drinking like we have no cares
Sing a song for me, Sing a song for me
And hope I make it down the stairs
Now everybody
watched as we drank all the scotch
And wondered what the end would bring
As they headed for the door then we ordered up some more
And everyone began to sing
CHORUS
Now it's
time to go home
And everybody knows
Tomorrow is another day
But we'll be back again
With a whiskey and a friend
When you see us be sure to say
CHORUS

All
Right (Sprauer)
Feelin long and lonely gonna get myself free
Gonna make my play gonna make 'em all see
Don't save my soul cause I need it tonight
Take a little bit of magic gonna make it all right,
All right, all right, all right
Gonna make it all right
Oh my mercy tell me what's going on
Gotta mean mother lover tellin me what right or wrong
Don't save my soul cause I need it tonight
Take a little bit of magic gonna make it all right
Big fun, number one
Everybody's got a gun
No frills, oil spills
Feeling low take a pill
Buy this, sell that
Too thin, too fat
Don't fight
Outta sight
Get together make it all right, all right, all right, all
right
Gonna make it all right

| Spades
(Sprauer)
Never
want to wonder
What is on your mind
The ever circling doubt
The fear of what we'll find
CHORUS
Sell me suits of diamonds
Cut me with the spades
Tempt me with the future
Of this life we've made
Hold me
in the darkness
I'll make you see the light
Our secrets lie there naked
The truth we cannot hide
The past
that tastes so bitter
Afraid to close my eyes
Reflections in the water
Cleanse me of these lies

As
I Fall (Kate's Song) (Sprauer)
Catch a breath and walk with me
I believe you set me free
My thank you is this song
I can't tell you how or why
A glance, a kiss, a secret smile
Tell me this can't be wrong
CHORUS
And I say hold me as I fall
We can take it we can make it after all (X2)
Light my way with your smile
I would walk for miles and miles
To hold you once again
A certain something in your eyes
Moves me like the moon and tides
And dances in the rain
Chorus

Home
(Sprauer)
You came
and you shared in the music
As the bagpipes followed you home
"The Campbell's are coming!"
We shouted aloud
And we promised never to roam
CHORUS
Unfurl the tartan
Uncork the scotch
And we'll raise a glass to you
We opened our eyes and we found you were gone
Brother you left us too soon
The piper is calling you home
It seems that I barely knew you
And you smiled when I struck up the band
But we're brothers in plaid
And Scotland's our land
And we promised never to roam (CH)
(In
memory of Troy Campbell)
