Remembrance day.

---

I remember that night, Vancouver November 11 th. The Town Pump
My brother had fallen in a far off city
But you came and lifted my spirit with rock’n’roll passion
Your Fife patter carried me back home
From this big country, back to my wee country
You talked about war, peace and forgiveness
Captured Canuck hearts with Neil Young, hey hey my my


The shining Fender strat worked its magic
That guitar was the expression of you
Celtic, electric, chiming emotions
A house of blues with a punk rebel heart
sassanach clowns came to mock you
soon they drowned in the sound of the flowing amps
like a highland burn, pure, clear and full


You embraced the native spirit heartland
Woken by nightmares of the American dream
Troubled and shaken and taken too soon
Why did your show end, in a faraway town?
Now you’re rockin in the next world
