Boats go sailing by we'll sit all day here building castles in the sand and you, you'll sit and watch with your girlfriends as me and my buddys fool around All I want is to be here with you and it's so clear to me Mmm, Mmm The breakers wash on the shore line the sun is high in the sky and me I could sit and watch forever as the sun lights up your face All I want is to be here with you and it's so clear to me oh can't you see I’m in love with you Oh honey it's true, yes it’s true I want to hold you close Cause honey I love you the most I want to sail away with you Bridge The boats go sailing by the sun is high in the sky and me I could sit and watch forever as the sun lights up your face All I want is to be here with you and it's so clear to me yes I believe I’m in love with you Oh honey it's true, yes it’s true I want to hold you close Cause honey I love you the most I want to sail away with you I want to be loving you Oh honey it's true, yes it’s true I want to be sailing away with you with you, with you Oh honey I love you Yes I do, I love you

The Biarritz of the North 04:03

I'm feeling tired and a little blue but I know a place that'll get me through it's a kinda nice if you get the weather and the sun'll surely shine on you We'll take a trip in my beat up car and head along the coast bring some friends and some bottles of wine and share em with the ones we love the most CHORUS We can smile and leave our worries behind We can kiss our blues away save em up for a rainy day we're heading for the Biarritz we're going to the Biarritz we'll be livin in the Biarritz the Biarritz of the north we'll get ourselves a little caravanette with a view down to the shore just you and me I can guarantee I couldn't ask for more take in the view from a seat at the harbour and watch the world pass us by say hello to all the lovely people enjoying the bright blue sky CHORUS Intro CHORUS BRIDGE and when the sun sets over the islands and the tide has turned for the night thank your lucky stars for a place like this and with the ones you love we can reminisce remember when we all got drunk and stupid remember all the crazy things that you did remember The times when we would dance and twist oh!, shakin in the Biarritz shakin in the Biarritz shakin in the Biarritz Chorus

The Auld Hoose 05:52
lyrics
buy track
I was walking the dog along the beach in the pouring rain the west bay was empty of anything I was wetter than the waves that were breaking on the shore the dog was looking at me even he couldn't take much more So I Chorus stopped by the Auld Hoose and took a seat by the fire I ordered up a beer and a packet of cheer sitting in the Auld Hoose just watching the world go by I'll get another drink in, as everyone says hi The following day the sun came out and I swear it was smiling at me so I headed out to Seacliff for some peace and a swim in the deep blue sea Then the tourists came and took away this beach that I called my own and I looked at the dog and wondered should we just head back home Instead I Chorus Bridge Chorus Stop by the Auld Hoose Have a drink in the Auld Hoose Make some friends in the Auld Hoose And watch the world go by Get another drink in as everyone says hi Everyone says hi Everyone says hi Everyone says hi Everyone says hi

Fidra Light 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Fidra Light keep on shining shine on and keep us safe from your shores Oh Fidra light just keep on shining Shine like a beacon to guide us safely home There's a boat, away out on the water so far away that my eyes can hardly see This boat, it's a heading for the harbour bring it home before it's taken by the sea Cause there's a thunderstorm a coming, lightning's in sky So dark and grey and heavy, pouring down with rain See that raging storm a blowin, its nearly upon us bringing no mercy, bringing only pain Fidra Light keep on shining shine on and keep us safe from your shores Oh Fidra light just keep on shining Shine like a beacon to guide us safely home Bridge I have seen how a raging storm at sea will show no mercy for you or me so shine that light, shine that light, shine that light Fidra light keep on shining Keep a shining your guidance out to sea Oh Fidra light just keep on shining bring all those sailors, safely home from sea bring all those sailors home to thee

The man that we all knew 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Come sit for a minute and I'll tell you a story bout the man that we all knew He's no longer with us but I'm sure that he's with us every day and every night Chorus Cause he's up there in the stars a diamond in our hearts look around you'll see him everywhere in your memories yeah, yeah Place a beer on the fence now and I'm sure that he'll join us in a toast with all his friends come gather round people you don't wanna miss any of this story bout the man that we all knew Chorus Bridge It's not that he's left us He's just sailed out to the sunset just over the horizon out of sight Just look to the sky now and pick out that shining star it's the one he left in our hearts Chorus Come sit for a minute and I'll tell you a story bout the man that we all knew
