Mull Historical Society - This Is The Hebrides lyrics

They found the k**er, she preyed on the weak America's pulling, the headlines out of me I've walked the pillars, of the Hebrides Profit poets in the Land of the Free Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am wondering what's happening to me Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am saying: This is the Hebrides I joined the sinners down in New Orleans America's pockets are full of broken dreams I went back to the Highlands, where they say Hope has a cure Bibles are bashing the clients to their who*es Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am wondering what's happening to me Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am saying: This is the Hebrides I've crawled along the floor From Miami to the Falls Louisiana didn't know What Alabama should have told about the war along the way And I, I still loved Arthur Millar, Alasdair Gray Things are busy not happening to me Michael Marra, Johnny Cash I've stepped from the islands To plagiarise the past Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am wondering what's happening to me Of course I am open, of course I am free Of course I am saying: This is the Hebrides The things that I want, the things that I need The things that are busy not happening to me Europe is falling and I'd strike for anything Millipedes racing down America's skin
